Daily problem-solver - keep jobs on track and challenges under control
6 : 30am starts to ensure daily engagement with installers out of the warehouse
Step into a leadership role that's equal parts people, problem-solving, and pace—make your mark in a respected flooring group.
This role would suit either a seasoned flooring professional stepping into operations leadership, or a sharp, well-organised administrator with solid flooring knowledge ready to take the next step.
The Company
This is a trusted, long-established name in the flooring industry and proudly operates under a household flooring brand.
Known for their strong reputation and loyal customers, the group delivers carpet, vinyl, laminate and timber flooring solutions to both residential and commercial clients.
This role will focus mainly on residential projects.
With multiple sites and a busy team of employee and contract installers, we are looking for a dedicated Operations Manager to ensure the delivery of projects is slick, to time, budget and any issues are sorted smoothly, every single day.
The Job
This role is all about ensuring the installer teams have what they need to get jobs done right, on time, and with excellent customer outcomes.
You'll be in the warehouse early, actively engaging with installers, checking in daily, and keeping workflow on track across four sites.
Your ability to juggle priorities, solve problems quickly, and communicate clearly with everyone – from installers to managers, drivers to customers – will be the key to success.
Your daily responsibilities
Overseeing installer workflow and scheduling across 4 branches
Monitoring job progress and juggling jobs and installers around when required
Building trust and respect with installers by working alongside them
Being the "go-to" person for troubleshooting on-site challenges
Diffusing customer concerns and ensuring issues are resolved promptly
Maintaining excellent organisation and administration of job schedules, documentation and updates
Liaising across the business to keep everyone informed and on track
What We're Looking For
We're after someone who is highly organised, practical, and people-focused.
Flooring knowledge is important (installation, prep, products), but equally critical is the ability to build respect and trust with a diverse team.
Key skills and attributes
Solid background in flooring, building, or related industries
Proven ability to manage workflow and schedules in a fast-paced environment
Resilient – calm under pressure, able to adapt when "things go wrong"
Strong communication skills – able to connect with installers, managers, and customers alike
Problem-solving mindset with a knack for diffusing difficult situations
Confident administrator with excellent organisational skills
Willing to be hands-on in the warehouse every day
