North Sydney Council, Australia BTI Executive Search Full time

Ready to lead a technically advanced manufacturing business through its next stage of growth?

This is a career-defining opportunity to combine operational excellence, commercial strategy, and people leadership within a respected global industrial organisation.

The Company:

Our client is a global engineering and manufacturing business recognised for quality, reliability, and innovation. The Australian operation designs and produces engineered solutions used across energy, transport, and industrial markets, exporting to customers across the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East.

The Role:

Reporting to the Regional Vice President, the General Manager will lead a multidisciplinary team of around 60 across operations, engineering, and commercial functions.

You will build on a solid operational base to drive the next phase of growth - enhancing performance, deepening customer partnerships, and expanding the business both domestically and across key export markets.

The focus will be on maintaining the operational discipline already achieved while sharpening commercial execution and strengthening organisational capability to support long-term, sustainable growth.

Key priorities include:

  • Leading the site's strategic and commercial plan to deliver profitable growth
  • Driving operational excellence, efficiency, and on-time delivery through lean and continuous improvement
  • Strengthening customer engagement and market presence
  • Coaching, developing, and empowering your leadership team for continued long-term success
  • Building a high-performance, collaborative culture centered on accountability and innovation

About You:

You are a commercially minded, authentic leader who thrives in complex manufacturing environments. You balance strategic oversight with strong operational and financial discipline, and possess the expertise to unite multi-disciplinary operational, commercial and technical teams around clear goals.

You will ideally bring:

  • Degree in Engineering, Business, or related field (MBA advantageous)
  • 10+ years' experience within industrial or engineering-based manufacturing
  • Proven record managing P&L and delivering growth in mature markets
  • Background in high-mix / low-volume manufacturing or OEM environments
  • Strong grasp of lean, S&OP, or continuous improvement practices
  • Excellent communication and people-leadership skills

Why Join:

  • A global organisation with significant investment and an already established track-record in Australia.
  • Clear scope to shape commercial strategy and operational performance.
  • Lead a business with momentum - not a turnaround - and shape its next growth phase.
  • Be part of a collaborative leadership culture with genuine career pathways within an international group.
