General Manager – Engineering | $150k+ plus Super & Vehicle
Malaga, WA
Structural steel | Local + offshore delivery | Big potential

About the Opportunity
This role puts you at the helm of a national structural steel business with a strong foundation, with plenty of opportunity ahead. It's part of a successful group of construction and engineering companies, with support around you at executive level, and great people underneath. What's missing is a leader who can connect the dots and get the business firing on all cylinders. There’s a full team of backup across finance, safety, operations, and strategy, you won’t be doing it alone. This role suits someone who can operate at both levels, tackling what’s in front of them, while building a more scalable and structured business behind the scenes.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Running a Perth-based fabrication workshop to deliver consistent, quality outcomes
• Managing offshore supply chains (Thailand) and ensuring QA and delivery hit the mark
• Overseeing steel delivery and installation projects nationally, especially across the east coast
• Lifting team maturity and reducing the need for constant hand-holding
• Reworking planning, scheduling, and logistics to reduce inefficiencies
• Using group systems and processes to improve reporting, safety, and communication
• Driving innovation in workflows, plant utilisation and delivery models
• Representing the business in tenders, walk-throughs, methodology sessions and key client meetings

What We’re Looking For

• Proven leadership in structural steel, fabrication or national project delivery
• Strong commercial focus; can manage margin, cost control, and forecasting
• Experienced in both local and offshore logistics and supply chains
• Capable of managing and mentoring team leads while holding people to account
• Comfortable in the weeds when needed; this is not a desk-only role
• Able to work within a broader group structure while owning the success of your division
• Clear communicator who stays calm under pressure

Bonus: Forklift/Dogging/Rigging/Crane tickets. Experience mentoring apprentices. Happy to jump in when needed.

Why This Role Matters
The bones of the business are solid: experienced crew, decent workflow, strong group backing. But it’s not yet performing at the level it could. There are inefficiencies to fix, standards to raise, and wins to claim. This role isn’t about cruising, it’s about course-correcting. With the right person steering, there’s significant upside for the team, the business, and your career.

What You’ll Get

• $150,000+ plus Super, Vehicle and opportunity to join the ownership group.
• A respected seat at the leadership table with real decision-making power
• Backup from a full group team across ops, safety, finance and people
• The chance to lead change and build something you’re proud of

To Be Considered

• Based in WA or willing to relocate (with assistance)
• Full Australian working rights
• Can pass a pre-employment medical
• Willing to be based in Malaga and travel internationally and interstate as required
