Job Description

At BlueScope, we support you to build your expertise within a safe and positive team environment, always driven by Our Purpose – to create and inspire smart solutions in steel, to strengthen our communities for the future. Working with us is an opportunity to build skills and expertise in a culture of connection and care, where every action you take matters, making innovative products for our customers and communities.

The Opportunity

BlueScope Building Components is looking for a high performing Operations Manager to lead our manufacturing operations at Novar Gardens, SA. BlueScope Building Components, a division of BlueScope in Australia, manufactures and markets steel building products, solutions and services through its four leading brands: Lysaght, Fielders, Ranbuild and Kiteleys.

Our Novar Gardens site is a fast-paced manufacturing operation, running 24 hours a day, five days a week across three shifts. The site produces a diverse range of steel building products, supporting customers with varying production and delivery requirements.

Reporting to the State Manager as Operations Manager, you'll lead four direct reports across production, transport, maintenance and operations support, with overall responsibility for approximately 130 employees on site. You'll oversee day-to-day operations while shaping longer-term improvements in safety, productivity, performance and workplace culture.

You'll be joining at an exciting time, with opportunities to strengthen the site's capabilities, contribute to significant capital investment projects and make a lasting impact on how the operation runs.

While the role operates during standard business hours, you'll also provide occasional after-hours support for escalated operational or safety matters, including attending site when required.

What Will You Do?

Working closely with leadership team and colleagues across Sales, Customer Service, Safety, Human Resources, Finance and national operations, you will:

  • lead safety performance: responsible for safe work practices, strengthening accountability and providing leadership for on site safety requirements and incident escalation
  • foster a high-performing and inclusive team: develop and support your team, strengthen team capability and create a culture of collaboration, inclusion and clear accountability
  • manage operational delivery across competing demands: align people, equipment and resources across production with over 48 production lines, transport with an external provider operating over 30 fleet departing site daily and maintenance across the 24-hour operation to achieve quality, productivity and customer delivery outcomes
  • drive business performance: oversee operational costs, maintenance, productivity and delivery in full, on time (DIFOT) performance, including responsibility for operational and capital expenditure budgets
  • strengthen processes and ways of working: identify and implement improvements to operational efficiency, production planning and responsiveness to internal and external customers
  • support capital investment projects: develop business cases, oversee project planning and implementation of equipment and site improvements to build future operational capability

More About You

You're an experienced operations leader who enjoys solving problems, working with people and improving how things are done. You're comfortable being visible on the production floor, making informed decisions in a fast-moving environment and empowering others to succeed.

You will bring:

  • a minimum of 5 years’ experience in operations management, ideally within manufacturing, processing or a similarly complex operational environment
  • a tertiary qualification in Operations Management, Business, Engineering, Supply Chain or a related discipline
  • experience leading safety and production performance across operational teams
  • demonstrated ability to coach and develop teams, build effective working relationships and positively influence team culture
  • the ability to manage competing priorities across multiple teams, production lines or shifts
  • strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills across different levels of an organisation
  • experience building and improving operational processes and using performance data to identify risks, solve problems and support decision-making

Why Join Us

  • Remuneration and financials – competitive remuneration including 14% superannuation, eligibility for our profit share plan (annual bonus) and annual salary review process
  • Flexibility and support – employee benefits including paid parental leave, and superannuation paid up to 40 weeks of unpaid parental leave
  • Health & wellbeing support – comprehensive wellbeing program including Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Fitness Passport, and preventative health initiatives
  • Learning, growth & career pathways – access to 13,000+ online courses, leadership programs, mentoring, career mobility and progression, and financial support for further education
  • Everyday perks & corporate discounts – employee discounts across travel, technology, health insurance and more, plus novated leasing options
  • Inclusive, purpose-led culture – diverse and inclusive workplace with strong community connection, recognition programs, and opportunities to contribute to meaningful work
  • Purpose-driven sustainability – be part of a business committed to meaningful sustainability outcomes, including action on climate and a clear pathway to achieving net zero emissions by 2050

It’s an exciting time as we transform our business and drive sustainable growth, creating value for our customers and communities. Together, we're creating strength for the future.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
