Our client is one of Australia’s largest specialist engineering contractors, delivering asset preservation and rehabilitation solutions for infrastructure assets across a range of industrial settings. The business has established itself as a market leader in the sector through its ability to provide strong in-house technical expertise and quality systems and processes, which underpin its excellent service delivery. Given its future growth pipeline, the business is looking to appoint an Operations Manager Queensland to oversee the end-to-end delivery of all projects in the region.
The Operations Manager Queensland will have a critical leadership role in the business and be responsible for the complete operational oversight across all projects. This includes people leadership, commercial oversight, as well as ensuring client/contract deliverables are meeting timelines. You will also be responsible for working with internal and external stakeholders, liaising with key clients and senior management regarding the delivery of work.
We are seeking an excellent people leader with the ability to lead, develop and influence a geographically dispersed team. As a leader, you are approachable, inclusive, and have demonstrated problem-solving skills to ensure people and teams are engaged and motivated. Proven experience building deep relationships with clients and other external stakeholders will be critical. Given the nature of the business, this experience would ideally come from linear or civil infrastructure environments.
Culture fit is key. You will promote and maintain a positive culture that emphasizes people, their safety and development above all else. You will also offer exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead the regional operations with a business that is continuing to enjoy a strong growth trajectory with a robust forward pipeline of work.
