Job description

Regional Manager (South) - Summerstar Tourist Parks

Live on the road. Lead from the front. Solve real problems.

At Summerstar Tourist Parks, we’re all about creating places people love to stay — and building teams that love what they do.

We’re looking for a Regional Manager to lead a portfolio of 9 properties across either the Northern region (Geraldton to Kununurra) or Southern region (Jurien Bay to Esperance and Ceduna in SA).

This is not a desk job — it’s a live-on-the-road leadership role, working from within our parks.

About the Role

You’ll be responsible for 9 properties, travelling between locations and working closely with Park Managers and reporting to the Operations Manager.

This role is about more than support — you’ll be expected to step in, troubleshoot issues, and help get things sorted on the ground when it matters.

We are looking for someone to help lead one of two regions, and we’d like to hear which one you’d prefer.

Northern Region (Geraldton to Kununurra)

The North has distinct busy and quiet seasons, and its isolation and conditions call for someone who is adaptable and resourceful. Parks here are infrastructure-heavy, so off-grid operations experience is preferred but not essential.

Southern region (Jurien Bay to Esperance and Ceduna, SA)

With steady demand year-round, the South needs a leader who is just as active on the ground, assisting in keeping parks running smoothly and making sure teams are well supported throughout peak holiday periods.

Lifestyle & Travel

This role is designed for someone who enjoys working on the road.

You will be travelling between Parks and living onsite

You must own or be willing to obtain a caravan or motorhome (a Vehicle Allowance is Payable)

Powered sites are provided at Parks as you travel

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading and supporting Park and Motel Managers

Driving operational standards, performance, and accountability

Troubleshooting infrastructure and operational issues at Park level

Rolling up your sleeves and helping solve problems

Monitoring financial performance and improving results

Coaching teams and building capability

Visiting Parks regularly and following through on actions

Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and development

Ensuring compliance, safety, and maintenance standards

Supporting upgrades and improvement projects

What We’re Looking For

This role suits someone who enjoys being in the field, living the lifestyle, and making a real impact.

We’re looking for someone who:

Has experience managing multiple sites, facilities, or operations

Comes from a hospitality, tourism, facilities, or operations background

Is a hands-on leader who leads by example

Can troubleshoot and solve practical problems on the ground

Understands infrastructure, maintenance, or asset-based environments

Has strong organisation, admin, and follow-through skills

Is comfortable working across regional locations

Is willing to live and work on the road

Why Join Summerstar?

Be part of a growing, family-owned WA business

Work closely with experienced leaders and a supportive team

A role with real variety, autonomy, and impact

A unique opportunity to combine work, travel, and lifestyle
