We are seeking a hands-on CEO / General Manager to lead and scale an established industrial technical services business operating across regional Queensland.

The business provides mission-critical technical services to major resources, industrial, government and infrastructure customers. It has a strong recurring service base, multiple operating locations, an experienced technical workforce and significant chance to professionalise and grow.

The successful candidate will have full day-to-day responsibility for the business, including people, operations, customers, safety, financial performance and execution.

The existing owners will remain invested and continue working in the business for at least two years, providing deep technical, customer and industry knowledge alongside the incoming CEO / GM.

The Mandate

This is fundamentally an execution and people leadership role.

You will take a successful founder-led business and build the operating capability, management systems and commercial discipline required for its next stage of growth.

Key responsibilities include

- Leading the day-to-day performance of a multi-site technical services business
- Managing and developing technical, field and branch teams
- Building a strong operating cadence with clear accountability and KPIs
- Improving workforce planning, utilisation, scheduling and service delivery
- Professionalising operational, CRM and quoting systems
- Protecting and deepening key customer relationships
- Improving pricing, quoting and commercial discipline
- Building a more structured sales and business development capability
- Owning the P&L;, working capital and cash performance
- Maintaining high standards of safety, quality and compliance
- Recruiting and developing high-quality operational talent




- Building management depth and reducing founder dependency over time
- Executing organic growth initiatives and, over time, integrating complementary acquisitions

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a proven operator, not necessarily someone who has previously held the CEO title.

Relevant backgrounds may include

- General Manager of an industrial or technical services business
- COO / Operations Director
- CEO of a small-to-medium-sized industrial business
- Regional or divisional GM with genuine P&L; accountability
- Senior operational leader from mining, engineering, maintenance, field services or industrial technology

Experience leading tradespeople, technicians, engineers or other field-based teams will be highly regarded. Exact industry experience is less important than demonstrating an ability to lead people, create accountability, run a disciplined operating rhythm, make practical decisions, build credibility with technical employees and major customers, manage a P&L; and consistently turn plans into results.

Remuneration and Upside The role will offer a competitive executive remuneration package with significant performance-based upside including equity designed to align the CEO / GM with the long-term growth and value creation of the business.

The successful candidate will also have Board exposure and direct involvement in major strategic, capital allocation and acquisition decisions.

Why this role is different

This is not a corporate strategy role and it is not a caretaker CEO position.

It is an opportunity to take genuine responsibility for a high-quality industrial business, lead its next stage of growth and participate meaningfully in the value you help create.

For an ambitious GM, COO or operational leader looking for broader accountability and the opportunity to build a materially larger business, this is a rare role.
