Run the state. Own the numbers. Build the team.

We're looking for a State Manager to lead our NSW branch. It's a senior role with full accountability for the NSW business: winning the right work, delivering it well, and building the team that does both.

You'll report to senior leadership and have real autonomy over how the state is run. If you're already running a branch or division for a subcontractor and want a bigger say in where the business goes, this is worth a conversation.

The business

We're a specialist trade contractor working across several states. We subcontract to many of the country's leading builders on commercial and multi-residential projects, and we've been doing it long enough to have the systems, relationships and financial stability that let a State Manager focus on running the business.

- Make sure projects finish on programme, on budget and to standard
- Run day-to-day branch operations,



including logistics, property and facilities
- Set the standard on WHS for staff and subcontractors on every site
- Look after builder relationships through to completion and warranty

What you'll bring

- 5+ years in a senior leadership role with a specialist subcontractor or trade contracting business
- Accountability for a P&L;, budget or branch result, with a track record of growing revenue and protecting margin
- Solid grasp of the subcontractor side of the industry: tendering, subcontract terms, variations and claims
- Experience leading a mixed team across sales, site and operations, plus managing subcontractors
- A strong safety mindset and working knowledge of WHS obligations on commercial sites
- Current driver's licence

Highly regarded

- Qualification in building and construction or a related field

What's on offer
