• Drive safety, quality, and environmental standards across all operations.
• Ensure financial control through budgeting, invoicing, and cost management, while delivering on profitability targets.
• Regularly liaise with Auckland Council to ensure that service standards and expectations are met.
• Lead teams to ensure high levels of engagement, productivity, and performance.

What We're Looking For

• At least 5 years of senior facilities or operations management experience, ideally within the public sector or in a role involving significant client liaison.
• Proven experience managing contracts, projects, and teams within a large-scale operational environment.
• A degree-level qualification in a relevant field, with trade certifications being highly advantageous.
• Strong financial management skills, including budgeting, invoicing, and cost control.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and build relationships at all levels.
• A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement.
• High-level understanding of safety, compliance, and quality assurance standards.
• Full driver’s licence.

Along with working within a company that has been an industry leader for more than 30 years, you will receive:

• A competitive salary revied annually.
