About the opportunity:
This is a superb, Gippsland based management opportunity in which you will have full responsibility/accountability for the safety, growth and profitability of our Gippsland concrete business - including driving sales and revenue and overseeing the operations across the area.
You will effectively "own" this business unit. The region is already performing well, and your mandate is to deliver sustainable returns and grow profitably. You will work closely with our commercial, operations, technical, and logistics teams to grow margin and profit. Our customers in this region demand excellence, and you will be responsible for delivering outstanding outcomes across a diverse product range.
Responsibilities are broad, with key result areas covering Safety (SHE), Financials (P&L), Leadership and Culture, Sales and Marketing, Strategy, and Operations Management. You will maximise opportunities with clients, foster a collaborative environment across internal teams, and ensure your business unit is recognized as a truly great place to work.
About you:
To succeed in this critical role, you will be a talented, energetic leader with a unique blend of strategic commercial acumen and operational expertise. Engineering and/or Commercial qualifications are desirable, backed by a demonstrated history of success in pivotal leadership positions-ideally within the Concrete, Aggregates, or related heavy manufacturing sectors servicing the civil construction industry.
You are a natural collaborator and a passionate team player. You thrive on the challenge of driving business performance, possess a strong growth agenda, and have practical skills in coaching and developing the capability of your teams.
Most importantly, you are a culture-builder. You are level-headed, down-to-earth, and resilient, with exemplary standards of ethical conduct. You excel at building solid relationships, breaking down silos between departments, and finding innovative solutions that add value for both the customer and the bottom line.
