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.
