Branch Manager

Higgins Coatings

Ready to step into a leadership role where you can shape performance, grow a strong local team and drive real commercial impact?

At Higgins Coatings, you’ll join Australia’s largest family-owned commercial painting company, backed by 75 years of industry leadership and a national footprint. In this role you’ll take ownership of our Townsville operation - leading the commercial direction, strengthening client relationships, growing revenue and margin, and building a team culture that delivers exceptional results.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Take full ownership of branch performance, including revenue growth, margin, cost control and service delivery.
  • Lead, coach and develop a capable multi-disciplinary team across sales, operations and administration.
  • Drive growth through new business, tender opportunities and a disciplined key-account approach.
  • Be the local face of Higgins, building trusted relationships with clients, stakeholders and the wider community.

You Will Have

  • Successfully led and developed a small to mid-sized team and know how to bring people with you.
  • Strong B2B consultative selling experience, ideally in solution-based sales with longer sales cycles.
  • Experience in commercial painting, facilities maintenance, construction, or another trade-based services environment.
  • Commercial and financial acumen to manage quoting, tendering, WIP, contract administration, budgets and P&L performance.

What You Can Expect From Us

  • A structured onboarding and induction experience so you understand our people, systems, customers and ways of working from day one.
  • Ongoing mentoring, leadership support and access to national expertise to help you succeed in the role.
  • A competitive salary package including base salary, motor vehicle allowance and an uncapped incentive scheme that rewards strong performance.
  • Genuine long-term career pathways across a stable, respected national business.
  • A relocation package if you are outside the Townsville region.

If you’re ready to take ownership, lead from the front and build the next stage of growth in Townsville, we’d love to hear from you. Higgins Coatings is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
