General Manager

About the Company:

This company in the wider construction sector was founded in 2017 by three young professionals who identified a gap in the market to provide machinery to contractors and sites and have since also setup a training academy / apprenticeship scheme to upskill and attract more people into the industry. The company employs around 90 staff and has largely focused on private sector work (apartment blocks, retirement villages etc) but are now looking to expand their offering across the civil infrastructure and piling division.

The company's success is built on a culture of hard work, diversification and a commitment to providing a high level of service and delivery that exceeds the expectations of its diverse client base.

About the Role:

The General Manager role is a diverse position with ownership and accountability for the day to day running of the business, including financial performance, operational delivery, health & safety and customer experience. You will lead a team of 90 people, setting clear direction & vision for the team to get in behind and you will play a key role in driving growth in an already successful business. Key elements to the role are leadership, communication, relationship management, operational and service excellence, and commercial acumen.

The role requires a strategic mindset, someone who can think outside the box, help identify additional sustainable revenue streams or partnerships. The role is a collaborative one, working alongside the business owners to deliver on their vision and aspirational goals.

About You:

We are looking for an energetic & charismatic business leader who is strategic & commercial, but also comfortable in a hands-on role, and enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in alongside the team. Whilst you will have a growth mindset, it’s just as important to be motivated by contributing to a culture based on strong values and high performance –somewhere people aspire to be or want to come back to during their career. It’s just as important as any other capability - your drive to inspire a culture of collaboration and delivery. You’ll have an organised mindset and be someone strong on detail and systemisation.

We are looking for someone from the wider construction, civil infrastructure, piling, engineering sector with strengths in the following areas 
 

• Leadership & experience building high performance teams & culture
• Customer focused with exceptionally high service levels
• Strong operational background, outstanding communicator & very process driven
• Experience leading a business through growth
• Financially & commercially astute with P&L experience
• A real people person and ability to build strong relationships at all levels
• Highly organised, structured, meticulous, efficient, agile and can work at pace 

This company has big growth plans and business performance is critical, so we are looking for a high performer, someone who is ambitious, career focused and puts a big focus on company culture.
