Mount Maunganui, New Zealand QJumpers Full time NZ$60,000 - NZ$80,000 per year

Are you a natural multitasker who thrives on keeping people, jobs, and systems running smoothly?

We're looking for an Operations Manager who can balance leadership, technical know-how, and day-to-day coordination in a busy mechanical and hydraulic service environment.

You'll be the key link between our workshop, service, and admin teams — keeping operations flowing, customers happy, and our standards high.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, motivate, and support a skilled team across workshop and field operations.
  • Juggle multiple priorities — people, jobs, and resources — while keeping projects on track.
  • Apply your mechanical, engineering and hydraulic knowledge to solve practical challenges.
  • Use job management and inventory systems to keep scheduling, stock, and reporting on point.
  • Coordinate logistics, purchasing, and supplier relationships for smooth service delivery.
  • Drive continuous improvement in safety, efficiency, and customer experience.

What You'll Bring

  • Proven ability to multitask and stay calm under pressure.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills — you get the best out of a team.
  • Mechanical, engineering or hydraulic experience — hands-on understanding of how things work.
  • Confident with software systems (ERP, job management, or similar).
  • Adaptable and resourceful, able to think on your feet and find smart solutions.
  • Strong logistics and organisational skills, with solid administrative and reporting habits.
  • Full NZ driver's licence (HT or forklift licence a bonus).

Why Join Us

  • Be part of a trusted, well-established business with a strong reputation for quality service.
  • Lead a capable, motivated team that values teamwork, safety, and getting the job done right.
  • Enjoy variety — every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make things better.

If you're a hands-on leader who can keep people, processes, and performance moving in sync, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now with your CV and a brief cover letter outlining your experience in operations, mechanical or hydraulic work, and team leadership.
