Qspec is more than a construction company — we're a trusted partner in accessibility. We work with occupational therapists, healthcare providers, and families to create home modifications that empower independence for ageing Australians and people with disabilities.

Founded by Managing Director Ryan Quade, Qspec has built its reputation on empathy, integrity, and excellence — balancing commercial strength with a deep sense of purpose. With a talented team, strong systems, and clear growth strategy, we're now seeking a General Manager to continue this journey.

As General Manager, you'll lead and optimise day-to-day operations across Construction, Administration, and Operations (Finance & Scheduling) — ensuring efficiency, alignment, and accountability across the business.

You'll inherit a well-structured organisation with robust systems for budgeting, forecasting, KPIs, and reporting. Over the next 12–18 months, you'll partner closely with the MD through a structured induction and transition plan — setting you up to truly own and drive the business.

Lead and manage daily operations across service delivery, admin, quoting, scheduling, and finance.

Drive performance through structure, systems, and data — using dashboards and metrics to enhance outcomes.

Oversee financial performance, reporting, and job margins, ensuring profitability and efficiency.

Coach and develop middle management to lift capability and accountability across teams.

Champion Qspec's culture — fostering trust, communication, and collaboration between trades and office.

Partner with the MD on strategic initiatives, expansion, and partnerships.

- Ensure compliance, quality, and safety standards uphold Qspec's reputation for excellence.

You're a high-performing, emotionally intelligent leader with the ability to inspire, align, and elevate teams. You thrive in fast-paced, operationally complex environments and bring both commercial sharpness and human warmth to your leadership.

You might come from construction, operations, healthcare, or a completely different industry — what matters most is your mindset.

• Proven experience in senior operational or general management roles.
• Strong financial and commercial acumen with a focus on data-driven decision-making.
• Outstanding people leadership and communication skills.
• A hands-on yet strategic mindset — able to zoom in and out with ease.
• A genuine passion for culture, growth, and purpose-driven work.
• An owner's mindset — you take accountability, drive outcomes, and care deeply about results.
• Experience or interest in construction, healthcare, or NDIS/homecare sectors (desirable).
