About Arcopod

Arcopod is a fast-growing Queensland-based builder specialising in architecturally designed modular homes, cabins, secondary dwellings and custom residential projects.

We are passionate about creating high-quality, innovative homes and delivering an exceptional client experience from concept through to completion.

Our team currently consists of skilled carpenters, administration staff, design and drafting support, marketing personnel and leadership, and we are now seeking an experienced Operations Manager to become a key leader within the business.

This is an opportunity to join a growing company with significant ambitions and play a major role in shaping the future of the business.

The Opportunity

As Operations Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day delivery of all construction operations across the business.

You will work directly with the Managing Director and take ownership of project delivery, scheduling, procurement, quality control, client communication and team management.

The successful candidate will become the operational leader of the business, allowing the Managing Director to focus on strategic growth, design, business development, systems improvement and expanding the Arcopod brand.

This is not a junior project management role.

We are looking for someone who can take ownership, make decisions, improve systems and drive performance across multiple projects simultaneously.
