What We're Looking For





- Proven experience in a General Manager, Branch Manager, Business Manager or similar senior leadership role.
- A demonstrated track record of delivering substantial, measurable revenue growth in a previous leadership position.
- Proven ability to personally generate new business, win customers and convert sales opportunities into revenue.
- Experience in construction, civil works, equipment hire or a related blue-collar industry.
- Strong commercial acumen with an understanding of revenue, margins, profitability and operational performance.
- Confident people leadership skills with the ability to independently manage teams, operations and business systems.
- A proactive, commercially driven and results-focused approach with the ability to turn growth strategies into tangible outcomes.

What's on Offer?

- Genuine autonomy to lead operations and drive business growth.
- Direct access to and support from the Owner/Director.
- Opportunity to make a significant impact on the future growth of an established Victorian business.
