Are you a _natural leader_** **and a bit of a character? You’re here right now, reading this for a reason. Maybe you already know your way around hydro excavation and you’re looking for your next move. And we're after more characters like you to come and join us

**What's the job?**

Vac U Digga is New Zealand’s leading hydro excavation specialist. Hydro excavation is all we do, the level of expertise we’ve accrued doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of 18 years of civil construction experience and ten years of Research and Development.

It’s also worth mentioning that Vac U Digga is part of Intergroup which opens up all kinds of other options for future growth and development.

The Operations Manager role will coordinate and manage the interdependencies between groups of related projects/ contracts, managing horizontally across operational contracts / projects and ensuring that cross-contract/project work effort remains feasible from a business standpoint and returns the expected benefits to the Company.

You’ll provide local direction and leadership whilst ensuring the appropriate allocation, coordination and utilisation of both staff and plant. You will be responsible for business growth within the region, driving operational excellence in delivery of service, with overall responsibility for cost control whilst meeting all health, safety, environmental and quality requirements.

The role will demonstrate technical prowess, communication, leadership and business knowledge, combined with the aptitude to adjust projects/contracts around issues, complexities or shifts in strategic objectives.

**You'll benefit from**:

- Job security - we're an essential service and there will always be work for you
- A hands-on training programme with a wide range of courses
- A welcoming, helpful team - our characters are down to earth and all willing to muck in to give each other a hand - everyone feels like they belong here
- Heaps of development and opportunities for growth
- True health and safety - you'll never have to work in an unsafe environment or in a situation where you feel uncomfortable

**Are you the right fit?**

We're after characters who are always wanting to learn and grow - your voice matters here, and you will be empowered to make decisions, not just take directions. We’re hoping you’ll be enthusiastic and have a can-do attitude, along with good communication skills. We're all about trust and loyalty here. Our team is built on a strong buddy system for most of our work, so you've got to like working as a team.

The technical stuff you'll need includes:

- Demonstrated experience in a similar role
- Strong background in dispatch and logistics
- Sound people management skills
- Sales/BD experience

It’s a challenging role job but one we’re sure you’ll enjoy. After all, you’ll be working with an awesome crew who look out for each other and love a bit of banter.
