Location: Fully Onsite: Sydney CBD then moving to Clyde midway through contract

About the client

Our client is a NSW state government agency with a critical role in delivering trusted, independent public processes across the state. Operating within the NSW Public Service, the agency is known for its robust commitment to integrity, transparency and accountability. Its teams work collaboratively and with a clear sense of purpose, delivering large-scale operations to fixed and immovable deadlines.

About the role

As Site Operations Manager, you will run the day-to-day operations of a large, purpose-built operations centre in Western Sydney, bringing all activity together on a single site for the first time. Starting from a blank canvas, you will lead the site from bump-in through to full operation and decommissioning, coordinating contractors, suppliers and service providers so that everything runs safely and on time. This is a management and liaison role rather than a hands‑on operational one, with dedicated logistics, safety and project management functions alongside you. You will begin in the Sydney CBD before moving on site at Clyde from around December.

Duties

- Coordinate suppliers, contractors and service providers through the set-up, operation and decommissioning of the site, including the delivery and installation of temporary infrastructure.
- Develop and implement operational plans, site movement plans and daily run sheets covering scheduling, deliveries, access, signage and traffic management.
- Implement and enforce WHS,



security and emergency protocols, conducting regular risk assessments and working closely with the safety and facilities team.
- Act as the primary point of contact for all site-related queries, running daily stand-ups and liaising with operations, technology, logistics, security and head office teams.
- Manage contracts and service agreements, including negotiating lower-value contracts, and monitor site build budgets to identify efficiencies without compromising quality.

Requirements

- Proven track record managing sites, venues or large-scale events in complex environments, ideally including opening new sites or events from scratch.
- Demonstrated experience coordinating suppliers and contractors and managing contracts and service agreements.
- Solid understanding of WHS legislation, site safety best practice and emergency response procedures.
- Current WHS certification and First Aid qualification, or willingness to obtain.
- Experience leading teams on site and managing competing priorities against immovable deadlines and tight budgets.
- Relevant tertiary qualifications and/or industry experience. A background in events, venues or warehouse operations is highly regarded.
- Availability to work full time on site, including weekends, days of up to 10 hours, and morning or evening shifts from mid-February.
- Australian citizenship or permanent residency.
- No affiliations with political parties, candidates, elected members, donors or lobbyists, and a satisfactory criminal record check.
- Available to start immediately or at short notice.
