The Fit-out King has been under the radar for over two decades, not needing to advertise or market for work or staff due to his extensive clientele and fantastic reputation around town.Over 25 years as the leader of this hidden kingdom, he has accumulated some of the most significant accounts for the largest pubs and clubs in South Australia.He's looking to pump those current rookie numbers back up to the top professional numbers of the past, but he knows he can't do that without two leaders who treat the job and business as seriously as he does.The Fit-Out King's PassionUpon meeting the FOK, I immediately saw his passion and energy!The FOK explained his passion for fit-out, the hospitality niche, clients, creativity, craft, unique selling points, and employer value proposition.This, in a nutshell, was very inspiring, as, without a Captain at the helm like him, his business would never have sailed the proverbial seven seas of the South Australian hospitality game as it has over the past three decades.The Fit-out Kings Reach OutThe FOK heard from a few of his colleagues that I was known for finding the best construction people in the market when a client took the time to give me the correct information, personally and professionally.After a two-hour meeting, he agreed I was the man for the job and that his two critical leadership positions were in great hands.The Fit-Out Kings Site ManagerThe FOK started to describe what he was looking for in his right hand, and he continued to explain the personal traits, professional responsibilities, and career opportunities this Site Manager would need and receive if given the position.
Let's go through them…Someone who cares about the client outcomes more than the bottom line.
The FOK's reputation has been built over the decades by being about deliverability, not profitability.Someone who is excellent with people and likes working on live sites.
You'd be a roaming Site Manager on multiple fit-out sites, so this leader would require someone who can navigate the terrain of various stakeholders, suppliers, subbies, and clients throughout the day.Someone who can constantly communicate with The FOK throughout the week by being the eyes and ears of the business outside the office.Someone in the fit-out and refurbishment game for over 5 years in the South Australian market within a Head Contractor is a great start.You've got a carpentry background or similar trade and worked it for 3-4 years out of your apprenticeship.You understand programming, scheduling, and sequencing of fit-out and refurbishment projects at a high level.If this individual shows the leadership traits that accompany this position, progressing to the Operations Manager position within the business would potentially await them.Naturally, the salary is dictated by your background and experience, but rest assured, it's more than competitive.CTA ThoughtsThis business has the potential to grow significantly with the right people in the top leadership positions.
