  • Monitor KPIs, generate operational dashboards and insights, drive continuous improvement.
  • Act as the "face" of operations: liaise with suppliers, vendors, external stakeholders and clients as required.

What We're Looking For

  • This is a hands on role and requires someone willing to roll up their sleeves and contribute to all facets of the business.
  • Minimum of 3-4 years of operational management experience or a senior operations role, ideally working with air compressors, pneumatics or closely related industry.
  • Experience in related industrial equipment sectors will be considered alongside air compressors and pneumatics industry background.
  • Strong track record in process improvements, systems implementation, and operational scaling.
  • Demonstrable experience with budgeting, P&L at any organizational level.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and people skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, CRM systems, and Reckon Accounting or similar software.
  • Strategic thinker with hands-on execution ability.
  • Ability to lead change, influence culture, and set high standards.
  • Familiarity with relevant compliance, quality, safety standards applicable in your industry.
  • Knowledge of Australian workplace safety regulations (WHS), quality management systems (ISO 9001), and pressure equipment standards
  • A "get it done" attitude, organized, resilient, adaptive to change.
  • Valid Australian driver's licence required for travel to client sites and suppliers
  • Must have legal right to work in Australia

What we offer

  • Opportunity to run operations with real autonomy and influence.
  • A clear path to leadership and long-term growth.
