Gympie QLD, Australia Coates Full time

About us

Proudly Australian owned, Coates has a long history of supporting customers to deliver major projects and an exciting future focused on growth. We provide end-to-end solutions spanning Equipment Hire, Engineering Solutions, Industrial Solutions and Power & HVAC.

The next step in your career starts here…

We're looking for a people-focused leader with a strong operational mindset. If you've run a branch, depot, store, or site — and know how to manage performance, safety, and service delivery — you'll fit in well here.

As a Relief Branch Manager, you'll play a key leadership role across Central and Southwest Queensland — providing support, guidance, and stability to our branch network when managers are on leave or during busy periods.

You'll be hands-on and proactive, ensuring every site you step into runs safely, efficiently, and in line with performance expectations. With your confident leadership and ability to adapt quickly, you'll keep teams motivated and operations on track.

Covering a diverse region from Rockhampton to Gympie, and out west to Toowoomba, Roma, and Chinchilla, you'll travel week to week, taking the lead in different branches to drive performance, strengthen customer relationships, and support the teams.

What you'll do

  • Lead day-to-day branch operations, with a focus on safety, service and results
  • Set clear expectations and build accountability across the team
  • Build strong customer relationships and deliver solutions that meet site needs
  • Oversee P&L, fleet availability, utilisation and asset management
  • Make sure work is done safely and in line with our procedures

What you'll bring

  • Strong leadership experience — you've managed people and know how to lift team performance
  • Experience in operational roles (equipment hire, trades, logistics, construction, warehousing, or retail a bonus)
  • Good commercial judgement and the ability to manage branch-level KPIs
  • Solid communication and basic tech skills — confident with systems, data, and people

You don't need to come from the hire industry. We're looking for capable leaders who can step in, take charge, and get the best out of a team — no matter the site or location.

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
  • Volunteering opportunities through the Coates Foundation

Looking for more reasons to join Coates?

At Coates, we know that people, organisations and communities thrive when everyone feels valued and included.

We're proud to be implementing our second Reconciliation Action Plan and are committed to improving gender representation. We also provide opportunities for growth through our leadership and development programs.

But our impact doesn't stop there. Coates supports local and national charities through the Coates Foundation and invests in more sustainable equipment solutions to help create a greener future for all.
