The opportunity: FIFO Key Account Manager – South Australia

Lead a high-performing, values-driven team FIFO from Adelaide.
We’re seeking an experienced and dynamic Key Account Manager to take ownership and lead a portfolio of Villages for a key client in South Australia. This site-based role offers a unique opportunity to oversee multi-functional teams across catering, cleaning, and village services, while building trusted relationships with key stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

This is not a hands-off role! You will be expected to be visible, decisive, and outcomes driven.

  • Lead, direct, and support Village Managers to deliver seamless, end-to-end operations, ensuring consistency across sites while keeping standards high.
  • Drive financial performance with full P&L accountability - maximising revenue, maintaining disciplined cost control, and consistently delivering against KPIs and budgets.
  • Build and sustain strong client and stakeholder relationships.
  • Cultivate a disciplined, high-performance culture grounded in accountability, development, and results.
  • Lead talent management through structured succession planning and targeted leadership development initiatives - building capability for today while preparing for what’s next.
  • Ensure all operational systems align with client and company policies - driving efficiency, consistency, and reliability across every aspect of delivery.
  • Champion safety leadership as a non-negotiable priority - embedding it into every decision and behaviour.
  • Maintain strict compliance with HSE, food safety, and operational procedures at all times ensuring standards are upheld.

About You

  • Brings a minimum of five years’ experience operating at a senior leadership level within the resources, mining village, integrated services, or hospitality sectors - where balancing operational demands with people leadership is second nature.
  • Demonstrated success in managing senior client relationships within complex, matrixed environments - skilled at aligning multiple stakeholders, navigating competing priorities.
  • Proven capability to drive performance through structured operational planning, strong financial acumen, and strategic leadership - translating high-level objectives into tangible outcomes.
  • Well-versed in safety systems and relevant HSE legislation, with a proactive approach to risk management, embedding safety not just as a compliance requirement, but as a core operational value (the kind that people follow even when no one’s watching).
  • Experienced in leading and managing large, diverse teams, including oversight of HR/IR matters, confident in fostering accountability, resolving challenges, and building cohesive teams.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage, influence, and develop teams - delivering service excellence through clarity, consistency, and a professional yet approachable style.

Mandatory Requirements

  • Open Manual C Class Driver’s License
  • Full working rights in Australia
  • National Police Check – must be issued less than 12 months ago
  • Ability to pass a Pre-employment Medical with Functional assessment and Drug & Alcohol Screen
  • Ability to Fly-in-Fly-out from Adelaide Airport
  • Must be clean shaven

Why Join Us

  • Work within a global organisation, built on valuing people, that has existed for 125 years
  • Ongoing Career development and training with clear career progression pathways
  • Comprehensive wellbeing support (mental, financial, physical health) as well as a wide range of company benefits and employee programs
