This is an opportunity to take your existing skills into a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll coordinate multiple projects, lead onsite teams, manage resources and budgets, and ensure work is delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

• Team leadership: Coordinate onsite teams, allocate resources and ensure everyone is working towards shared goals.
• Planning & delivery: Support project planning, monitor progress and ensure deadlines and budgets are met.
• Facilities & health and safety: Maintain safe working environments, follow procedures and help manage site requirements.
• Budgets & reporting: Monitor costs, prepare updates and maintain accurate records.
• Client relationships: Communicate with clients and colleagues, manage expectations and help deliver successful outcomes.

We're interested in people who know how to run busy, people-focused operations and want to develop their career in a new direction.

You’ll bring:

• Experience managing teams, sites, facilities or day-to-day operations.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• A practical, solutions-focused approach and the confidence to make decisions.
• Experience managing resources, costs, deadlines or performance.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships at all levels.
