Holyoake is a leading, national supplier of heating and cooling air management solutions. Backed by a large, privately held parent company Price Industries (Canada & North America), their commitment and investment in the Australian entities are significant. Due to an imminent transfer, this opening will suit a broadly talented, manufacturing and sales-oriented professional who enjoys achieving sustainable growth and delivery outcomes through effective, hands-on leadership. Location: Yatala.
Reporting to the General Manager (in Sydney) and as a member of the Holyoake branch leadership team, you will be responsible for improving manufacturing capability and capacity, also growing a consistent revenue base including new product introduction opportunities. Safety vigilance is a primary organisational value and expectation in this role. Responsibilities include managing a full P&L/Balance Sheet and annual branch strategic planning e.g. sales budget, design, engineering & Lean/CI programs, cost/margin improvements, CAPEX and investment in HR; as well as relationships with channel partners and 3rd party suppliers. Your well-honed communication and negotiation skills enable you to achieve buy-in internally and externally.
Ideally you possess a track record of progression in manufacturing/operations and/or in sales/business development within an industrial sector/s; HVAC is well-regarded but not essential. Demonstrated expertise with budgeting, forecasting, pricing and ROI reporting are required. Practical knowledge of managing product life cycles underpins much of the sales effort. A trades or tertiary qualification in engineering, coupled with study in commerce/business management are expected. A passion and enthusiasm for "raising the bar" in a highly competitive market sets you apart.
