  • Field Engagement: Conduct client sales calls/visits.
  • Financial Oversight: Manage branch P&L performance, control operational expenditure within budget targets, monitor margins, and assist with credit processes.
  • Team Leadership & Culture: Supervise, mentor, and coach onsite staff (Branch Supervisor, Counter Sales, Storeperson) while fostering a safe, supportive, and high‑performance team environment.
  • Safety & Compliance: Champion Work Health & Safety (WHS) protocols, ensure quality assurance standards are met, and lead annual stocktakes within accuracy targets.

What We Are Looking For

  • Qualifications: Trade qualification (HVAC, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, or Mechanical Services) OR a qualification in Business/Management (equivalent industry experience highly valued).
  • Experience: Proven track record in branch, operations, or sales management within a trade wholesale, HVAC, or distribution environment.
  • Leadership Skills: Strong team management capabilities in a fast‑paced operational setting.
  • Commercial Acumen: Strong financial literacy with experience in margin management, expenditure control, budgeting, and quoting.
  • Product Knowledge: Solid understanding of HVAC systems, components, and trade customer requirements.
