Description:
- Manufacturing, Installation and service
- Commercial Building products
- Executive Leadership role
We’re working with a market leading manufacturer of state of the art, technical building products supplying commercial builds. They are a national business designing, specifying, manufacturing and installing solutions that are visually appealing and well-engineered. The company is then highly regarded in the market for its after-sales service offerings.
The primary focus is on driving specifications with Architects and providing installed solutions to Builders. The nature of these projects therefore dictates that the company’s success is acutely defined by its ability to deliver and install the right product at the right time as part of a commercial development, delighting the customer with a high-quality product, well managed installation and responsive after sales service.
A market leader in its sector, the company though is being challenged by low-cost competitors and a changing market dynamic. Under the leadership of a progressive CEO, the organisation continues to pivot, including the development of new products through its R&D team, for both new and existing market segments. This is augmented by securing exclusive Distributor Agreements with well-known international brands.
The COO is a newly created position, reporting to the CEO, to drive consistency and efficiency across the company’s entire operations, encompassing Production, Planning, Supply Chain, Installation and service delivery at a national level. Products are ultimately delivered through Builders and generally as part of a larger commercial build, so delivery into a broad project plan with other Contractors is a key dynamic.
Through 7 direct reports you’ll be responsible for up to 100 staff. Production, with lean principles, as indicated, is made to order, and so must be expertly planned in line with material availability, project delivery and installation requirements. Your Installer network is managed by a national project management team who work closely with the customer’s Building Supervisors and Construction Managers to ensure a hassle-free installation.
Sounding interesting? Hoping so… As I say, the company continues to pivot to market conditions and we require a strong Operations leader to partner the CEO, driving the company’s strategic agenda to deliver an industry leading customer experience.
And you? First and foremost, you’re a qualified Engineer who has experience leading a manufacturing facility. A driver of continuous improvement, you possess strong project and people management skills, operating a senior level, whilst previous experience dealing with Commercial Builders would also be very highly regarded.
This is a significant role helping steer the company’s growth and continued market leadership, and as such, it is pitched to secure high talent. A package around $250,000 plus Incentives will be negotiated.
