About the Role:

As a Bunnings Complex Manager, you will be responsible for the ongoing daily operations, sales and high‑volume stock management within your store.

Within your leadership team, you will have experienced Operations and Department Managers across areas such as Goods Inwards, Service, Inside the Home, Timber Yard, Builders and Lifestyles & Garden.

This role includes a minimum 1 in 3 weekend roster and some public holiday work.

• Drive warehouse EBIT performance across sales growth, margin optimisation, wage control and cost management
