About theBOSSapp

theBOSSapp is Australian-built operations management software that takes the chaos out of running a business. Born inside PTG Group, one of Australia’s fastest growing engineering companies, it started as a solution to a real problem: managing crews, equipment, projects and compliance across the country without drowning in admin. That hands‑on insight shaped a platform that keeps evolving with new technology and the changing needs of the businesses that use it, across a broad range of industries.

One platform, the whole business. theBOSSapp brings projects and tasks, equipment and resources, timesheets and payroll, invoicing, HR and training, quality improvement, marketing and more together in one place. Built in line with ISO 9001 quality management principles, it gives managers real-time visibility so they can make faster, smarter decisions with confidence.

• Skills in PHP and Laravel, React and TypeScript, and MySQL (or a similar stack, and keen to learn ours)
