Are you an experienced Operations Lead and a bit of a character? At InterGroup, our people are real good characters who have each other’s backs every day. And we’re after more characters like you to come and join us!

What’s the job?

InterGroup are New Zealand’s Infrastructure and Industrial Services specialists, delivering services in waste management, industrial and coatings and infrastructure. You may not have heard of us, but we do a lot – and we’ve got aspirations to be number one in every area we deliver. The only thing stopping us is needing more people! That’s where you come in, are you up for the challenge?

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

Working closely with Leads, you will 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 the delivery of service, with overall responsibility for cost control whilst meeting all health, safety, environmental and quality requirements.

You’ll benefit from:

Are you the right fit?

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:
