  • Financial Tracking – Monitor budgets, project costs, and margins; report on operational performance.
  • Team Leadership – Support and guide supervisors, coordinators, and subcontractors to deliver exceptional outcomes.
  • Client Growth – Identify opportunities to expand services within existing accounts through quality delivery and proactive engagement.
What We're Looking For
  • Strong background in operations management within facilities maintenance, building services, or related trades.
  • Proven ability in estimating, quoting, and project costing.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-management skills — both with clients and teams.
  • Organised and detail-oriented, with strong problem-solving ability.
  • Sound knowledge of compliance obligations (NCC/BCA, WHS, ESM).
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and stakeholders simultaneously.
  • Leadership skills with the ability to mentor and support staff.
What's on Offer
  • Competitive Salary Package
  • Vehicle
  • Tools of Trade
  • Professional Development

Why Join Us?
  • Work for a values-driven company with a strong reputation for quality and compliance.
  • Be the key link between clients and delivery teams, making a real impact on client satisfaction and business growth.
  • Join a collaborative leadership team that supports initiative, problem-solving, and career development.
