About the role

Turn vision into action. Build a unified team. Lead our next stage of growth.

Brimble is a rail contracting business built around our people, our assets and a drive to improve the industry. We’re looking for an Integrator (General Manager) who can bring our senior leadership team together, run the day-to-day business and turn ambitious plans into results.

We operate on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). You’ll work closely with our Visionary to implement the vision, creating the clarity, accountability and momentum needed to grow.

This is a role for an experienced rail contracting leader with strong commercial judgement, a hands-on approach and the confidence to keep things simple and standardised.

The role

Your core purpose is to integrate our three major business functions:

- Sales and Marketing

- Operations

- Finance and Administration

You’ll lead their respective heads as one unified senior leadership team, aligning priorities, resolving issues and keeping everyone working towards the same vision.

Our Visionary also forms part of the senior leadership team. So does our Head of Special Projects, a senior leadership role reporting to the Integrator and leading significant non-business-as-usual initiatives, including innovation and projects that are not yet directly revenue-earning.

You’ll bring these leaders together while taking ownership of the day-to-day performance of the business.

Key Accountabilities

LMA: Leadership + Management = Accountability

Lead and manage the senior leadership team to create a culture of accountability.

- Leadership: Work on the business. Provide clear direction, inspire and support your team, and create the space for them to succeed.

- Management: Work in the business. Set clear expectations, communicate regularly, follow through and make sure the right things get done.

- Accountability: Bring both together so people understand what they’re accountable for, have what they need to deliver and take ownership of their results.

V/TO: Vision/Traction Organiser

Our V/TO is a simple, two-page business plan that sets out where we’re going and how we’ll get there. It brings together our vision, values, long-term goals, annual plan, quarterly priorities and the issues we need to solve. It’s a living document that the leadership team reviews and updates as the business progresses.

Work with the Visionary and senior leadership team to keep the V/TO explicit, current and understood throughout the business. Turn the plan into action and keep everyone aligned on the priorities and results that move us towards the vision.

Profit and loss

Own the group’s P&L; and financial performance. Understand the relationship between delivery, pricing, cash flow, asset utilisation, maintenance and investment. Make decisions that support both current performance and future growth.

Remove obstacles and barriers

Identify what is holding people and the business back, then help resolve it. Cut unnecessary red tape, simplify how we work and create practical, standardised solutions. Focus the team on the actions that make the biggest difference, recognising that often 20% of our actions create 80% of our results. Sometimes this means making a decision; sometimes it means getting alongside the team and helping.

Legal and Commercial

Lead the commercial side of a contracting business, including contracts, pricing, risk, payment terms and the financial consequences of delivery decisions. Have the confidence and experience to manage everyday commercial and financial matters yourself, and the judgement to bring in specialist advice when an issue is outside your expertise or carries significant risk. We seek advice because it adds value, not simply to tick a box.

EOS implementation

Lead EOS implementation internally and make it part of how the business operates every day. Build genuine understanding and commitment across the team, using EOS to create clarity, solve issues and deliver results rather than simply completing a process.

Special projects: business as usual

Take ownership of special projects needed to support the day-to-day business. Lead and support the Head of Special Projects as part of the senior leadership team,



ensuring our significant non-BAU initiatives remain aligned with the vision, business priorities and available resources.

What we're looking for,

You have experience leading a large rail contracting business or business unit in the $50 million to $500 million range, ideally with the scale and complexity of a Tier 1 organisation and a substantial asset fleet.

You understand contracting from the contractor’s side. You know how to deliver for customers while managing contractual exposure, project performance, cash flow and profitability.

Our business is a people-and-asset service business. You understand how to bring those elements together, including the financial impact of asset availability, utilisation, maintenance, financing and capital investment.

You are also:

- Growth-oriented: comfortable developing and executing ambitious plans to grow quickly, with the people, systems and financial discipline needed to support larger projects.

- Commercially confident and decisive: You assess risk, make sound decisions promptly and take ownership of the outcome. You understand that a timely decision with the information available is often more valuable than waiting for perfect information. You also recognise when the risk warrants further investigation or specialist advice.

- Practical: focused on simple, standardised ways of working rather than complexity for its own sake.

- Direct and constructive: willing to challenge, make decisions and have difficult conversations without letting issues linger. You give positive and constructive feedback immediately, or as close to the event as practical, so it is clearly connected to what happened.

- Comfortable being uncomfortable: prepared to have honest conversations, work through difficult issues and encourage the team to do the same.

Do you GWC the seat?

In EOS, we look for someone who Gets it, Wants it and has the Capacity to do it.

Get it

You understand what the role requires and already have the skills and experience to achieve it. For this seat, that means understanding how to run a large rail contracting business, lead its people, manage its commercial position and get the best from its assets.

Want it

You genuinely want this role. You get out of bed wanting to lead the team, implement the vision and make the business successful. This is about passion for the work, not simply the title.

Capacity to do it

You have the capacity in all its forms to meet the demands of the role. This includes, for example, the time, emotional and physical capacity to lead the team, make sound decisions under pressure and sustain the commitment required as the business grows.

A hands-on leader

At Brimble, we operate with primary and secondary roles. Your primary role is Integrator.

Rail work has peaks and quieter periods. During busy periods, our teams may need additional support, including on site and away from home. We’re looking for someone willing to get out with the teams, understand what is happening on the ground and help fill a gap within their competence.

You lead by example. You wouldn’t ask someone for help doing something you weren’t willing to help with yourself. Sometimes the best way to remove an obstacle is to roll up your sleeves and work through it together.

What we offer

At Brimble Group, we are committed to supporting our teams' personal and career development. We provide a competitive remuneration package and a team culture that lives and breathes our values every day. With opportunities for professional development in a team where our leaders and team care about, and support your personal growth, because your professional success is directly proportional to the personal growth you are willing to undertake.

We recognise the importance of work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements.



Our team benefits from a supportive company culture that is passionate about sustainable, innovative solutions that have a long-term positive impact.

This is primarily an office-based role in Newcastle, working alongside the senior leadership team. We believe strong relationships, trust and effective teamwork are built by spending time together.

There is flexibility to work from home at times, but that is the exception rather than the default. We’re open to discussing practical arrangements with the right person while maintaining that team presence.

You are the leader of the organisation and won’t be told how to do the job. You already understand what the role requires and will have the autonomy to lead the business, implement the vision and deliver results, with clear accountability.
