Help Us Keep the Heart of Alkimos Beating Strong!

At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to creating a thriving community hub that enhances health, connection and liveability across Alkimos and the surrounding northern corridor.

As part of our foundation team, you'll have the unique opportunity to help establish the Centre's culture, programs and customer experience from day one, guided by BlueFit's proven operating systems and commitment to excellence.

What the Role is Really About

As our Operations Manager, you are the backbone of site safety and day-to-day facility execution.

- Team Development: Build a supportive, positive culture for our casual and permanent operational staff, empowering them to grow their careers with BlueFit.
- Seamless Operations: Ensure facilities, equipment, and plant infrastructure are maintained to the highest industry standards.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:
