Are you a natural multitasker who thrives on keeping people, jobs, and systems running smoothly?
We’re looking for an Operations Manager who can balance leadership, technical know-how, and day-to-day coordination in a busy mechanical and hydraulic service environment.
You’ll be the key link between our workshop, service, and admin teams — keeping operations flowing, customers happy, and our standards high.
What You’ll Do
- Lead, motivate, and support a skilled team across workshop and field operations.
- Juggle multiple priorities — people, jobs, and resources — while keeping projects on track.
- Apply your mechanical, engineering and hydraulic knowledge to solve practical challenges.
- Use job management and inventory systems to keep scheduling, stock, and reporting on point.
- Coordinate logistics, purchasing, and supplier relationships for smooth service delivery.
- Drive continuous improvement in safety, efficiency, and customer experience.
What You’ll Bring
- Proven ability to multitask and stay calm under pressure.
- Strong leadership and communication skills — you get the best out of a team.
- Mechanical, engineering or hydraulic experience — hands-on understanding of how things work.
- Confident with software systems (ERP, job management, or similar).
- Adaptable and resourceful, able to think on your feet and find smart solutions.
- Strong logistics and organisational skills, with solid administrative and reporting habits.
- Full NZ driver’s licence (HT or forklift licence a bonus).
Why Join Us
- Be part of a trusted, well-established business with a strong reputation for quality service.
- Lead a capable, motivated team that values teamwork, safety, and getting the job done right.
- Enjoy variety — every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make things better.
If you’re a hands-on leader who can keep people, processes, and performance moving in sync, we’d love to hear from you.
