About the Role

Run the operation, not the tools. You’ll own our gas repairs division day to day - pricing and margin, scheduling, crews and subcontractors - plus our fast-growing heating and hot water upgrade work under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. You don’t need a plumbing licence: technical sign-off and compliance certificate lodgement sit with our senior licensed plumber, who works alongside you.

Key Responsibilities

- Own the commercial side of quoting - pricing, margins and turnaround times. Tricky technical calls go to our licensed technical lead
- Lead the crews - employed plumbers, apprentices and subbies. Rostering and day-to-day performance sit with you
- Scheduling and routing are yours - keep crews utilised and the week running tight
- Run the VEU side - upgrade quotes with rebates, install scheduling, and audit-ready evidence packs (photos, consents, the lot)
- Fleet, tools, insurance and licensing records - yours too
- Handle escalations with property managers and agencies, and keep safety and customer standards sharp

About You

- You’ve run service operations with field teams - trades, HVAC, facilities or energy upgrades




- A plumbing or gas trade background is highly regarded, but if you can run an operation, that’s what gets you the job - no licence needed
- Sharp on margin and utilisation - you manage by the numbers
- You’ve worked with VEU or a similar rebate scheme, or you’ll pick it up fast
- You keep good systems and you’re not shy about holding people accountable

You might currently be a Plumbing or HVAC Supervisor ready to come off the tools, a Service or Operations Manager, or an Installations Manager from the energy-upgrades world. Why Join Us?

- Steady, year-round repair pipeline, plus a VEU upgrade side that keeps growing - no chasing your tail for the next job
- Real ownership - you run it, we back you
- Be at the front of Victoria’s gas-to-electric shift, with recent rental heating and cooling standards landing in 2027
- Company vehicle, phone and laptop, plus a performance bonus tied to how the operation runs
- $120,000 - $140,000 + super
