  • Strategic Development: Collaborate with senior leadership to shape the long-term direction of the division and develop new service offerings that meet market needs.
What We Are Looking For
  • Proven experience leading field service operations, including both field and office-based teams.
  • Strong leadership and people management skills, with the ability to inspire, mentor, and drive accountability.
  • Commercial acumen and experience managing P&L, budgets, and financial targets.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities, with a focus on continuous improvement.
  • A customer-centric approach and strong communication skills.
  • Tertiary qualifications in business, engineering, or a related discipline (preferred).
  • Experience in water treatment, pumps, or technical/engineering services (highly desirable).
What's So Great About This Opportunity?
  • Impact: Lead a division that is critical to APP's success and growth strategy.
  • Autonomy: Full responsibility for driving profitability, strategy, and operational excellence.
  • Career Growth: Join a growing business with opportunities to shape the future of the service function.
  • Culture: Work in a supportive, Australian-owned company that values innovation, teamwork, and customer success.
  • Industry: Be part of an essential industry, supporting critical infrastructure across hospitals, commercial facilities, and municipalities.
