  • Analyse performance data to identify growth opportunities and improve profitability.
  • Ensure compliance with company standards, policies, and operational procedures.
  • Build strong relationships with customers and represent Coates proudly in the market.
  • Keep a close eye on fleet availability, maintenance, and service delivery to ensure customer needs are met — every time.

What you'll bring

  • Proven success in multi-site or complex branch operations management, ideally in equipment hire, industrial or asset services.
  • A track record of driving safety culture and operational excellence.
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to analyse performance and identify opportunities for growth.
  • Exceptional leadership and communication skills — you inspire people to perform.
  • A customer-first mindset and commitment to continuous improvement.

What you'll get in return

We provide our team with a wide range of perks and benefits, including:

  • Development and career progression pathways
  • Access to our employee discounts, benefits and wellbeing program
  • Purchased additional leave program
  • Novated leasing and salary sacrifice
  • 12 weeks Paid Parental Leave in addition to government parental leave scheme
