This is a senior leadership opportunity within a rapidly growing infrastructure group that has expanded through acquisition and is now focused on unlocking the full potential of its operating businesses.
You will step into a General Manager Queensland role overseeing a significant civil contracting platform with a combined annual revenue of approximately $200 million, supported by a well-capitalised parent organisation with a clear mandate for long-term growth.
The businesses are established, self-performing civil contractors with strong delivery capability, experienced teams, owned plant fleets, and long-term client relationships across major infrastructure and construction markets.
The platform is performing, but not yet fully optimised. The next phase is about lifting performance, sharpening execution and scaling capability.
You will take full responsibility for unimpeded end-to-end business performance, including operations, commercial outcomes, people leadership, plant performance, safety, systems and growth.
Working closely with group leadership, you will be trusted to:
This is a hands-on leadership role in a self-performing contracting environment. Strong understanding of plant-heavy delivery models, production rates, utilisation and cost drivers is essential.
You are likely operating at General Manager, Operations Manager, Regional Manager or senior construction leadership level within civil infrastructure, earthworks, transport, utilities or mining-related contracting environments, ideally in Queensland.
You bring:
You are comfortable in complex, fast-moving environments where performance expectations are high and improvement is expected, not optional.
This is not a turnaround mandate and it is not a caretaker role.
You will be joining at a point where scale already exists, capability is proven, and the focus is now on optimisation, integration and growth acceleration.
You will have access to the resources, capital and strategic support of a larger infrastructure group, combined with the autonomy to lead operationally at ground level.
For a high-performing civil leader, this represents a rare opportunity to step into meaningful scale, shape performance outcomes and influence the trajectory of a substantial infrastructure platform.
