You’ll be a capable people leader with strong commercial instincts and the ability to motivate teams while maintaining accountability.

You may come from construction, manufacturing, industrial, engineering, scaffolding or a similar operational environment where you've been responsible for both people and performance. A strong understanding of quality systems, safety and compliance, customer relationships and commercial decision‑making will be highly regarded.

Ideally you’ll bring:

• Proven leadership experience in an operational or manufacturing environment
• Strong commercial and financial management capability
• Project management experience
• Excellent relationship‑building and communication skills
• Experience dealing with compliance, regulatory requirements and health and safety obligations

What's On Offer?

This is a genuine leadership opportunity where you’ll have the autonomy to influence the direction and performance of the branch while being supported by an established business and leadership team.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a visible impact, develop people, improve performance and help shape the future direction of a business, we’d like to hear from you.
