• Problem-solver: Troubleshoot equipment, scheduling, and workflow issues quickly and effectively
• People leadership: Mentor and manage a growing team, driving morale and productivity
• Client care: Foster and grow strong customer relationships, old and new
• Business insight: Monitor KPIs, track performance, and contribute to strategic improvements
• Compliance focus: Lead a safety-first culture, ensuring WHS and regulatory compliance

• Proven experience in an operations, production, or logistics leadership role
• Strong administration skills and business judgement
• Clear communicator with a collaborative, can-do leadership style
• Practical mindset with attention to detail and high standards
• Understanding of WHS standards and operational compliance
• Hands-on, proactive attitude – no task too small
• Experience in laundry, manufacturing, or similar industries (desirable)
