Village Manager – FIFO Adelaide (8/6 Roster)

The Opportunity

Cater Care, a proud 100% Australian-owned industry leader, is looking for an energetic and commercially minded Village Manager to take the reins at our remote mining camp in South Australia. We don’t just run facilities; we create a genuine "home away from home" for our residents—and we need a hands-on leader to drive that vision.

Job Description

Why You’ll Love Working With Us We know that to get the best out of our people, we need to offer the best. Here is what is on the table:

• The Ultimate Lifestyle Roster: Work 8 days on, and enjoy 6 consecutive days off.
• Keep What You Earn: Your flights (ex-Adelaide), comfortable accommodation, all meals, and uniforms are 100% covered while on site.
• Real Career Progression: Clear, structured pathways for growth within a leading national business.
• Corporate Perks: Access to exclusive discounts on travel, health insurance, car hire, and retail partners.

Your New Domain Operating on a FIFO basis from Adelaide, you will be the heartbeat of the village, taking full operational and financial ownership of the site. Your day-to-day will involve:

• Total Site Leadership: Overseeing daily village operations across catering, accommodation, and contracted site services.
• Commercial Management: Owning the site P&L with a sharp, strategic focus on labour overheads and food costs.
• Team & Culture: Leading, coaching, and fostering a bulletproof safety culture among your on-site staff.
• Client Relations: Acting as the primary liaison on the ground to deliver exceptional service and maintain top-tier client relationships.
• Systems Management: Running accommodation reservation platforms seamlessly (VAMS, SAMS, or RMS).

What You Bring to the Table You are a resilient, hands-on leader who thrives in dynamic environments and knows how to balance commercial targets with an exceptional guest experience.

• Experience: Proven management background in remote site operations, large-scale hospitality, or hotel management.
• Financial Acumen: A strong track record of managing site P&Ls, food costs, and rostered labour.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficiency in accommodation reservation software (VAMS, SAMS, RMS, or similar) and strong general computer literacy.
• The Extras (Highly Desirable): A Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, a current Manual Driver's License, and a Forklift ticket will put you at the top of the pile.

Note: Successful applicants must complete a national police check, a pre-employment medical, and obtain site-required safety certifications.
