A Catalyst. Not a Consultant.

Sponsored by General Managers and Executives, this is an opportunity for a results-driven improvement professional who thrives on turning ideas into measurable outcomes. As a trusted partner to your assigned WesTrac division, you will identify and lead complex cross-functional improvement initiatives, build alignment across diverse stakeholder groups, and deliver sustainable operational and commercial benefits. This is not a reporting or purely analytical role. We're looking for someone with a strong bias for action, a proven track record of delivering outcomes, the ability to influence without authority, and a genuine commitment to building end-user ownership so improvements continue long after the project is complete. Joining a high-performing team of improvement specialists and industry leaders, you'll have the support, autonomy, and visibility to make a meaningful impact across the business.
