NT Link is looking for an experienced and commercially minded
Operations Manager
to take ownership of our Alice Springs operation and play a key role in the delivery and growth of our Central Australian business.
For more than 30 years, NT Link has been delivering transportable commercial and residential building solutions across Northern Australia.
From design and fabrication through to transport and installation, our teams deliver projects in some of Australia's most unique and challenging environments.
Now, we're looking for a strong operational leader who can bring together people, projects, performance and culture to take our Alice Springs operation forward.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the General Manager, you'll have broad responsibility for the day-to-day performance of our Alice Springs branch, while overseeing the successful delivery of small to medium projects throughout Central Australia.
You'll lead from the front – supporting and developing Supervisors, strengthening operational capability and ensuring our projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and on budget
.
Just as importantly, you'll have the opportunity to influence how we operate.
You'll work closely with senior leaders across the business to identify smarter ways of working, improve processes and workflows, plan resources and build a high-performing One Team culture.
Areas of Responsibility
This is a diverse leadership role where no two days will look exactly the same.
You'll be responsible for:
Leading the day-to-day operations of the Alice Springs branch
Providing senior oversight across projects and operational activities




Driving project performance across planning, estimating, budgets, contracts, quality and delivery
Leading, coaching and developing Supervisors and the broader Alice Springs team
Working collaboratively across Operations, Business Development, HSEQ, Compliance and People & Culture
Planning people, plant and equipment requirements ahead of upcoming works
Driving continuous improvement across processes, workflow and operational performance
Monitoring project and branch financial performance and preparing management reporting
Supporting tender submissions and future business opportunities
Building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and local communities
Representing NT Link at networking and industry events throughout Central Australia
Championing a strong safety, quality and compliance culture across the operation.
About You
We're looking for an experienced leader who knows how to run an operation, lead people and get projects delivered.
You'll ideally bring at least five years' experience in Project Management, Program Management, Branch Management or a similar operational leadership position, preferably within the building or construction industry.




You'll be a confident communicator who can move comfortably between the worksite and the boardroom – building relationships with employees, subcontractors, clients, communities, suppliers and senior leaders.
You'll also bring:
A current Driver Licence and Construction Induction White Card
Strong commercial and operational judgement
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Confidence working with budgets, reporting, project performance and operational systems
Strong Microsoft Office skills and experience with project, safety and payroll platforms.
A Builder's Licence, Trade Qualification and/or formal Project Management qualification will be highly regarded, as will previous experience within the transportable building sector.
What's in it for you
This opportunity provides you with:
A competitive remuneration package that includes base salary, superannuation, and annual performance bonus
Temporary accommodation will be provided to allow you time to source long term accommodation upon relocation
You will be provided with a work vehicle, laptop and mobile phone to ensure effective delivery of your role
Opportunity for support in training and development opportunities to further enhance your skillset and support you in your ongoing growth opportunities
You won't be managing from the sidelines.
You'll be at the centre of the operation – developing people, solving problems, improving performance and helping deliver projects that make a tangible impact across the region.
