The Opportunity Tired of the standard hospitality grind? Looking for a leadership role that offers true work-life balance, zero living costs while on shift, and the chance to make a real impact?

Cater Care, a proud 100% Australian-owned industry leader, is looking for an energetic and commercially minded Village Manager to take the reins at our remote mining camp in South Australia. We don’t just run facilities; we create a genuine "home away from home" for our residents—and we need a hands‑on leader to drive that vision.

Job Description

Real Career Progression: Clear, structured pathways for growth within a leading national business.

Corporate Perks: Access to exclusive discounts on travel, health insurance, car hire, and retail partners.

Your New Domain Operating on a FIFO basis from Adelaide, you will be the heartbeat of the village, taking full operational and financial ownership of the site. Your day-to-day will involve:

Total Site Leadership: Overseeing daily village operations across catering, accommodation, and contracted site services.

Commercial Management: Owning the site P&L with a sharp, strategic focus on labor overheads and food costs.

Team & Culture: Leading, coaching, and fostering a bulletproof safety culture among your on-site staff.

Client Relations: Acting as the primary liaison on the ground to deliver exceptional service and maintain top-tier client relationships.

Systems Management: Running accommodation reservation platforms seamlessly (VAMS, SAMS, or RMS).

What You Bring to the Table You are a resilient, hands‑on leader who thrives in dynamic environments and knows how to balance commercial targets with an exceptional guest experience.

Experience: Proven management background in remote site operations, large-scale hospitality, or hotel management.

Financial Acumen: A strong track record of managing site P&Ls, food costs, and rostered labor.

Tech-Savvy: Proficiency in accommodation reservation software (VAMS, SAMS, RMS, or similar) and strong general computer literacy.

The Extras (Highly Desirable): A Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, a current Manual Driver's License, and a Forklift ticket will put you at the top of the pile.

Note: Successful applicants must complete a national police check, a pre-employment medical, and obtain site-required safety certifications.
