Our client is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) at the forefront of Australia's clean energy transition, delivering accredited and non-accredited training to the solar and electrical industries.
With operations spanning Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and close ties to industry supply partners, they are building the skilled workforce powering the shift to renewable energy — and are now investing in a new systems platform and expanded course portfolio to support their next phase of growth.
We are seeking an experienced and commercially-minded General Manager to lead this dynamic training business, driving both outstanding student outcomes and strong operational performance.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to take end-to-end ownership of a multi-site training operation — from student enquiry and enrolment through to course completion and industry transition.
Reporting to the CEO, you'll lead a multi-disciplinary team across sales, compliance, student administration and training delivery, shaping a high-performing culture while driving enrolment growth, revenue and facility utilisation across three states.
You'll also play a key role in a major systems transformation, transitioning the business onto a new student management platform, and in expanding the course portfolio to capture new market opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and unify the sales, compliance, student administration and training functions into one high-performing, accountable team
Own the end-to-end student journey — enrolment, pre-training, delivery, assessment and completion — removing roadblocks so trainers can focus on quality outcomes
Manage the national training schedule, trainer capacity and recruitment across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne
Drive enrolment, revenue and sales-conversion growth in partnership with the sales and marketing teams




Identify and launch new accredited and non-accredited course offerings aligned with industry demand
Maintain oversight of RTO compliance and quality assurance, including ASQA and ISO requirements
Lead the business-side transition to a new student management system, including change management and staff adoption
Own operating budgets and expenditure, ensuring commercial discipline without compromising compliance or student outcomes
Prepare and present comprehensive monthly reporting to the Board covering performance, risk and strategic priorities
About You
A bachelor's degree in business, management, education or a related field is highly desirable; a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is beneficial but not essential given solid RTO leadership experience
Minimum 5 years' experience in a General Manager, Head of Operations, RTO Manager or comparable senior leadership role
Experience in the solar, electrical, vocational education and training sector, or a similar regulated service industry, is highly desirable
Demonstrated success leading multi-functional teams and building a culture of ownership and accountability
Strong understanding of RTO operations, compliance and quality systems
Proven commercial acumen, with experience growing revenue and managing budgets
Experience leading system implementation and organisational change (SMS/CRM/ERP transitions highly regarded)
Strong analytical and Board-level reporting capability
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to stay calm and outcome-focused under pressure
Role Highlights
Lead a multi-state operation (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne) at the centre of Australia's renewable energy skills boom
High-impact, end-to-end leadership role reporting directly to the CEO
Genuine influence over strategic growth — new courses, new markets, new systems
Be part of a business making a tangible contribution to the energy transition workforce
