Operations Execution Manager

Steel Builders Group | Glendenning, NSW

Lead a growing operation. Build capability. Deliver results.

Steel Builders Group has recently established operations in our purpose-built 11,000m² facility in Glendenning, and we’re looking for an experienced Operations Execution Manager to help lead our next stage of growth.

This is more than an operations management role. It’s an opportunity to shape the future of our NSW business by executing strategy, developing people, improving performance and building a high-performing operation.

Reporting to the Head of Operations NSW, you’ll be a visible leader on the ground—supporting the team, driving accountability, solving problems and ensuring our strategic priorities are translated into operational success. You’ll play a key role in building capability within the existing team while helping position the business for continued growth.

If you’re passionate about leading people, improving manufacturing operations and making a genuine impact, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you?

• Join a growing Australian manufacturing business with exciting plans for the future
• Lead operations from our modern 11,000m² Glendenning facility
• Play a key leadership role with the opportunity to influence business direction
• Be empowered to implement improvements and drive operational excellence
• Work with a collaborative leadership team that values initiative and accountability
• Birthday leave after successful completion of probation
• Ongoing learning and career development opportunities
• Employee recognition program celebrating our people and values
• Quarterly BBQs, team events and End of Year celebrations

About the role

As our Operations Execution Manager, you’ll be responsible for executing the business strategy by leading day-to-day operations and delivering strong operational performance.

Working closely with leaders across the business, you’ll establish clear performance expectations, set and manage KPIs, drive accountability and foster a culture of continuous improvement. You’ll identify opportunities to improve productivity, solve operational challenges and ensure the business is well positioned to achieve both its strategic objectives and daily operational goals.

Key responsibilities

• Execute the operational strategy to achieve business objectives
• Lead, coach and develop leaders and operational teams
• Establish, monitor and manage KPIs while driving accountability across the business
• Champion a strong safety-first culture across all operations
• Identify operational challenges and implement practical, sustainable solutions
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that improve productivity, quality and efficiency
• Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders to deliver strategic and operational outcomes
• Build a high-performing, engaged and accountable team
• Support business growth through strong operational leadership

About you

You’ll be an experienced operational leader who enjoys being close to the action, building strong teams and creating lasting improvements.

You’ll bring:

• A demonstrated commitment to workplace health and safety
• Experience working in heavy industries such as manufacturing, heavy fabrication, engineering, crane building or similar industrial environments (steel manufacturing or heavy fabrication experience is highly regarded but not essential)
• Proven leadership and coaching experience, with the ability to set clear expectations, establish accountability and follow through to achieve results
• Experience leading teams through change, growth and continuous improvement
• Strong experience setting and managing KPIs to improve operational performance
• Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills
