The Branch Lead - Christchurch Hub is a multi-discipline operational leadership role responsible for the day-to-day delivery of service operations across all Clarkson's service channels in the Christchurch region. This includes electrical, property, fuels, carwash, and Cowley/HVAC&R services. Unlike channel-specific Branch Lead roles, this position reflects the breadth of the Christchurch hub - requiring the ability to coordinate and lead across multiple technical disciplines simultaneously, ensuring all contractual SLAs and KPIs are met, teams are effectively managed, and clients receive consistent, high-quality service regardless of the service stream. This is a hands-on leadership role. The Branch Lead is expected to be present in the field, visible to clients and team members, and actively engaged in the day-to-day running of the Christchurch service operation.

Key responsibilities

• Coordinate and oversee the day-to-day delivery of service operations across all Christchurch disciplines: electrical, property, fuels, carwash, and Cowley/HVAC&R

• Manage and oversee sub-contractor performance across all disciplines, ensuring all work meets Clarkson's and client requirements
• Maintain accurate records of all changes and works across service streams, including documentation updates
• Ensure electrical registration and practising licences are current for all applicable team members, and that Cowley/HVAC&R certifications and requirements are actively managed
• Ensure compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, codes, and standards across all service disciplines
• Lead and manage Christchurch-based technicians across all service disciplines - monitor performance, provide feedback, and support development
• Ensure full compliance with all Clarkson's and client HSSE policies, QMS, OH&S, and EMS frameworks across all service disciplines
• Manage service delivery across all disciplines in accordance with contract KPIs and client expectations

About you

• Full, clean NZ Driver's Licence (manual vehicle)
• Minimum 5 years' working knowledge of at least two of the service disciplines covered by this role (electrical, property, fuels, carwash, or HVAC&R), gained in an operational or field service environment
• Demonstrated experience supervising or leading multi-discipline or multi-trade technician teams
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple service disciplines, sites, and teams simultaneously - with a positive, solutions-focused attitude
• Broad technical knowledge across two or more of the following: commercial/industrial electrical, property maintenance, fuels systems, carwash equipment, or HVAC&R
• Practical understanding of hazardous area compliance requirements relevant to fuels environments
• Working knowledge of HVAC&R systems and the regulatory framework governing refrigerant handling
