About the role
Karratha is the heart of our operation, and we want an experienced, well-grounded leader to take it and make it their own. You'll run the workshop, the fleet and the team, with authority to make calls on the ground. You'll work closely with support from our Albany branch on fleet planning and key equipment decisions, with ongoing support and guidance when needed. Our Albany team also looks after sales & admin/invoicing, so you can focus on running a great operation. This is a build role: our systems are still maturing and the workshop may move premises. We need someone who takes the initiative, sees what's needed and builds it. Get it right and you'll have built a branch that stands on its own, with scope to grow into the full commercial side.
