👷 About Us

At O’Brien Plumbing North Wollongong, we’re a locally owned business backed by a national brand. We handle everything from residential maintenance to large commercial projects, and we’ve built a name our clients trust for quality, reliability, and top service.

We already have an Operations Manager on board — but with continued business growth, we’re looking for another experienced Operations Manager to help lead our team, drive performance, and ensure every job runs like clockwork.

This is a senior leadership role, ideal for someone who’s confident managing people, projects, and performance in a fast-paced trade environment.

• Working closely with the Director and fellow Operations Manager to improve systems and scale the business

• Ensuring compliance with WHS, quality control, and company processes

• Managing materials, suppliers, subcontractors, and project handovers

• Supporting quoting, job tracking, invoicing and reporting

🧰 What You’ll Need to Bring:

• Proven experience in operations management within plumbing, construction, or a similar trade/service environment

• Strong leadership and communication skills

• Experience with scheduling, budgeting, and project management

• Confidence using systems like simPRO (or similar job management software)

• A proactive mindset and a focus on quality, safety, and customer satisfaction

• The ability to juggle multiple moving parts without dropping the ball

✅ Bonus Points For:

• Plumbing trade background (even if you’re now off the tools)

• Ability to mentor and motivate others in a fast-paced, high-performing team
