Step Into a Role with Real Trajectory

We are now seeking a full-time Branch Manager to lead our Port Moresby operations in Papua New Guinea.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity created by the upcoming retirement of the current Branch Manager, who has been part of the Atlas family for 12 years. Their decision to retire marks the end of a valued chapter, and the beginning of a new one for a leader ready to step in and make their mark. Like many at Atlas, the outgoing manager made PNG their long-term home, building a life and career with the organisation — a testament to the enduring appeal of both Atlas and the country.

This pivotal leadership role will see you overseeing a multifaceted branch that includes fabrication, reinforcing, roll-forming, fencing, and modular housing. Reporting directly to the General Manager, you’ll join a close-knit senior team and take full accountability for branch performance, staff leadership, customer satisfaction, and strategic growth.

What to Expect in Your First Weeks

Your onboarding will include a structured transition period, working closely alongside the outgoing Branch Manager to absorb key operational knowledge, team insight, and business priorities. This allows for a seamless handover and an opportunity to shape the branch with your own leadership style and vision.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Taking ownership of day-to-day branch operations and performance outcomes
  • Guiding multidisciplinary teams across manufacturing, construction, and supply
  • Managing budgets and commercial targets with a focus on efficiency
  • Ensuring quality delivery across both product and project timelines
  • Building strong relationships with clients and key local stakeholders
  • Driving staff development, operational safety, and long-term leadership planning

The Experience That Sets You Apart

To qualify, you will need a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Engineering, or a related discipline, and 5–7 years of experience in operations or branch management, ideally within the steel, construction, or manufacturing sectors.

What will set you apart:

  • Practical knowledge of steel fabrication, construction, or modular building
  • Confidence managing budgets, reporting, and commercial targets
  • A track record of leading teams and developing people
  • Familiarity with supply chains, safety frameworks, and compliance expectations
  • A collaborative approach, cultural sensitivity, and strong interpersonal skills
  • Strategic thinking backed by a hands-on, solution-driven mindset

You’re a practical, people-first leader with strong commercial acumen and cross-cultural awareness. You thrive under responsibility, lead with intention, and are ready to take the next step in your leadership career — potentially all the way to General Management.

Work-Life Rewards That Go Beyond the Paycheque

This position comes with a highly competitive and flexible benefits package designed to support your move and long-term success:

  • Fully-furnished accommodation in an 18-storey executive apartment building
  • Up to 3 club memberships for access to social and recreational venues
  • Five weeks annual leave plus annual business-class airfare to your home country
  • Company car included in your package
  • Medical insurance
  • Superannuation starting at 8.4%, with potential increases to 15%
  • Relocation assistance (flights, transport, onboarding support)
  • A career in a stable, well-respected business that prioritises internal progression

At Atlas, we understand that moving abroad is a major life decision, and we’re proud that many of our team members have not only relocated but remained with us for years, thanks to the lifestyle PNG offers and the stability of our business.

Whether you’re based in Australia or New Zealand, you’ll enjoy proximity to PNG with easy access to home and a vibrant, modern expat lifestyle. From golf and yachting to an expanding restaurant scene, Port Moresby offers both adventure and comfort.

This Is More Than a Role — It’s Your Next Chapter
