Overview
Operations Manager – Supercharge Operations – Living Gems
A rare opportunity to step into a brand-new role with a company backed by 40+ years of success.
Living Gems has been a trusted name in over-50s lifestyle resorts for more than four decades. With 3 major projects commencing this year and many more in the pipeline, we are expanding our leadership team with a newly created Operations Manager role to strengthen our construction operations.
This role is about bringing people, processes, and projects together — ensuring our head office construction support team runs smoothly and that our site teams are set up for success every day.
A day in the life... You’ll lead a dedicated operations team, making sure pre-site workflows and documentation are seamless, and Site Managers have what they need to keep projects moving. Your day might include refining workflows, checking in with suppliers and consultants, mentoring your team, and preparing reports for leadership. Every day is a mix of planning, people, and problem-solving — with the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping deliver outstanding communities.
