PARTNER Executive has been engaged to find an Operations Manager for a busy mining and civil contractor with deep roots in WA's North West. Based residentially in Karratha, this is a true 2IC position, the right hand to senior leadership, with real ownership of day-to-day operations across a diverse portfolio of civil and mining works.

Opportunities to live and lead in the Pilbara at this level don't come up often. This one will suit a civil construction operator who's ready to take the step up and make the role their own.

The Opportunity:

• A genuine 2IC role: broad operational responsibility with a clear leadership mandate across projects, people and performance.
• Residential position based in Karratha, a rare opportunity to build a senior career in the Pilbara without the FIFO lifestyle.
• Drive day-to-day delivery across civil and mining works for major clients in one of Australia's most active resources regions.
• A senior seat in a well-established contracting business with a strong regional presence.
• Your background: civil construction, with proven experience leading operations, teams and subcontractors in demanding project environments.
• Suited to a hands-on, commercially aware leader who thrives on accountability and building strong site cultures.
• Fully subsidised housing and relocation is provided
