Drive the Next Phase of Growth in a High-Potential Electrical Services Business
This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role with a respected, fast-growing contractor delivering electrical and maintenance services to corporate, industrial and government clients across Perth.
Whether you're a proven General Manager, a high-performing Operations Manager, or a Commercial Manager ready to step up, this role offers the platform to lead a business poised to double in size over the next three years.
About the Company
This WA-owned contractor has built a reputation for quality, responsiveness and practical electrical solutions in demanding client environments, ranging from facility maintenance to capital works. With a strong base of recurring clients, a loyal and growing workforce of 30 to 40 staff, and a clear strategic vision, the company is on track to achieve a 20M turnover by 2028.
About the Role
Reporting to the Managing Director, the General Manager will oversee the day-to-day operations of the business, with full responsibility for operational delivery, financial performance, team leadership, and strategic development.
This is a hands-on, high-accountability role where you’ll shape systems, lead teams, and directly influence growth outcomes across Western Australia.
Key Areas of Responsibility:
Lead and manage a multidisciplinary team including supervisors, trades/engineers, and support staff
Oversee commercial and operational performance across maintenance and project streams
Strengthen systems, workflow, and compliance to support scalable operations
Build and maintain strong client relationships across government and corporate sectors
Monitor P&L performance, gross margins, forecasting and reporting
Drive staff performance, recruitment and development to support business expansion
Contribute to growth strategy, tendering, and potential future acquisitions
About You
You might already be a General Manager in a similar business. Or, you might be an experienced Operations Manager, Commercial Manager or Senior Project Manager who’s ready for the next level. Either way, this role is ideal for someone with the capability and confidence to lead a business, and the hunger to make their mark.
If you're the senior operator who’s been running the show behind the scenes, managing projects, people, and profits, this is your opportunity to step into the top job with the title to match.
We’re looking for someone with:
Strong leadership experience in electrical, commercial maintenance or services contracting
Commercial acumen with a solid understanding of job costing, cash flow, and client delivery
A proven ability to lead, develop and grow teams and systems in fast-moving environments
Confidence liaising with senior-level clients, suppliers, and internal stakeholders
Trade background or tertiary qualification (electrical or business) is highly regarded
Why This Role?
Lead a business with huge growth potential and direct client access
Shape the operational systems and culture for long-term success
Work closely with an engaged Managing Director who values autonomy and execution
Potential to grow with the business into equity or profit share opportunities
No layers of bureaucracy, report directly to the MD and shape real decisions
Your leadership will be visible, valued, and rewarded in this agile, execution-focused business
You’ll have room to move, build your own team, and influence company-wide systems and strategy
This Is Your Move
If you're ready to step up—or step in—and lead a business on the rise, we want to hear from you.
Apply now with your resume and a short cover letter outlining why you’re the right person to take this opportunity forward.
