Business Manager

Business Manager

Bowhill Engineering | Bowhill, South Australia
Permanent Full-Time | Senior Leadership Support Role

Position Summary

Bowhill Engineering is entering its next stage of growth, and with that comes the need for stronger systems, clearer accountability and a central leader who can support the people, processes and business functions that keep Boweng running well.

The Business Manager will provide leadership across our HR, Administration, WHSE and Finance support functions, helping to consolidate these areas under one clear point of coordination. This role will build on the strong foundations already in place, while helping Bowhill transition from a business of around 60 people to a larger, more structured and sustainable organisation of 90+ people and beyond.

This is a key role for someone who is practical, organised, commercially minded and people-focused. The successful person will work closely with the CEO, senior leaders and existing functional team members to improve communication, strengthen systems, support staff, and ensure important initiatives are followed through properly.

This role is not about doing everything themselves. It is about leading, organising, communicating, delegating well, and holding people accountable in a way that reflects the Boweng culture: humble, honest, hardworking, respectful, solutions-focused and committed to doing things properly.

Purpose of the Role

The purpose of the Business Manager is to create a stronger internal business structure by providing leadership, coordination and accountability across key business support functions.

This role will:

• Provide a central point of contact for HR, Admin, WHSE and Finance-related coordination.
• Support existing staff by improving clarity, communication and follow-through.
• Free up the CEO and other senior leaders from day-to-day operational noise.
• Help Bowhill implement new systems, initiatives and improvements as the business grows.
• Strengthen accountability across support functions without losing the personal, practical Boweng way of working.
• Build a longer-term succession pathway for internal business leadership.
