About the Role:
In this key position of Operations Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing and managing the day-to-day business operations, ensuring efficient processes, and nurturing strong relationships with both new and existing clients.

This role offers a rare opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of the company.

Responsibilities:

  • Provide technical expertise and support to customers in relation to product applications.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing clients to encourage repeat business and customer loyalty.
  • Identify and implement process improvements to drive operational efficiency.
  • Work closely with the CEO on the growth strategy, with the aim to take over operational responsibilities as the business expands.
Qualifications:
  • A Bachelor's degree in Engineering is highly regarded but not mandatory; candidates with a trade or hands-on pumping background are encouraged to apply.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in a technical or operational management capacity, ideally with exposure to pumping systems in the agriculture or irrigation sector.
  • Strong operational and leadership skills, with the ability to drive growth and manage day-to-day operations.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of key business processes.
  • Self-motivated and results-focused.
Benefits:
  • Rare and exciting opportunity to join an established business and contribute to its ongoing growth.
  • Direct involvement with the CEO, with potential to take over day-to-day operational leadership.
  • Opportunity to progress within the business and be a key driver of its success.
  • Potential for equity participation after 12-24 months in the role.
