- Proven leadership experience in agriculture, horticulture, recycling, organics, waste management, or broader manufacturing sectors.
- Strong commercial and operational acumen with full P&L accountability, ideally across multi‑site operations.
- Sound understanding of environmental regulation, safety systems, and sustainable production practices.
- Strategic thinker capable of delivering both operational efficiency and long‑term growth outcomes.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, capable of influencing across customers, suppliers, regulators, and internal executive teams.
- Relevant tertiary qualifications in Environmental Science, Engineering, Business, or similar.
You will be a hands‑on, commercially minded leader who thrives in environments that balance operational complexity with purpose‑driven outcomes. Pragmatic and collaborative, you lead through clarity, accountability, and trust, fostering performance while keeping people and culture at the heart of decision‑making.
What’s on Offer
This is a rare chance to join a well‑capitalised, Australian‑owned group entering an exciting phase of growth and diversification. The successful candidate will have scope to influence business strategy, innovation, and sustainability outcomes across both consumer and industrial segments.
