Job Description
General Manager – Power & Industrial (Energy Infrastructure)
MAP is retained to undertake a Search for a listed entity with multiple divisions enjoying strong growth and reputational leadership in their markets.
General Manager – Power & Industrial (Energy Infrastructure)
Reporting directly to the CEO | ASX-listed growth environment
This is a rare opportunity to step into a
CEO‑adjacent leadership role
within a
small‑cap ASX‑listed company
operating in technically complex, mission‑critical environments.
You will take full commercial and strategic accountability for a standalone operating business, shaping its growth, reputation and performance at a time of increasing global demand for reliable power generation, infrastructure resilience and specialist highly engineered products and services.
This role is
not about running a checklist . It is about
leading a business —commercially, technically and with a people & safety first mindset (engaged, inspired, collaborative, growing).
The General Manager is responsible for the development and successful implementation of strategic plans, and the day-to-day running of the product line with these plans. This role demands strong leadership and the ability to inspire and motivate staff, foster continuous team development, and uphold a safe, positive workplace culture.
Why this role is different
Direct exposure to the CEO and Board, with genuine influence on strategy
Ownership of a business with international customers, complex projects with long lead times and partnering with tier 1 customers, globally.
Complex, high‑value contract environments where engineering judgement and commercial acumen intersect
Privilege of leading a business unit that is a
key global player in a growing international market segment
The General Manager will drive profitability by effectively allocating resources, implementing strategically targeted tendering at optimal margins, ensuring a rigorous contract acceptance process, and maintaining strong cash flow management, cost control, and risk mitigation.
Principal Accountabilities
Success in this role is defined by five core accountabilities:
1. Enterprise Leadership & Business Stewardship
Provide end‑to‑end leadership of a technically specialised operating business, with full accountability for P&L performance, organisational capability and long‑term sustainability.
You will set the tone for safety, professionalism and accountability while building a cohesive leadership team capable of delivering consistently in high‑consequence environments.
Own the commercial strategy across major bids, tenders and negotiated contracts, ensuring risk‑adjusted returns, disciplined margin management and robust contract acceptance.
This includes leading or sponsoring complex negotiations with sophisticated counterparties across power generation, industrial services and international markets.
3. Customer, Market & Industry Positioning
Strengthen the organisation’s standing as a trusted partner in technically demanding environments—including power stations and critical infrastructure—through senior customer engagement and market leadership.
You will help shape where the business plays, how it differentiates, and which strategic alliances expand its global reach.
4. Operational Performance in Technical Environments
Oversee the reliable delivery of engineering, fabrication and project outcomes where safety, precision and execution discipline are non‑negotiable.
You will ensure operational decisions are commercially informed and grounded in a practical understanding of engineering, plant operations and lifecycle risk.
5. People, Culture & Future Capability
Develop a high‑performing leadership cohort spanning engineering, operations, sales and project delivery.
This includes building bench strength, fostering technical excellence, and creating an environment that attracts senior specialists who want to work on complex, meaningful projects.
