At Giide, we understand that operations are the engine room of every successful industrial business. From the production floor to the supply chain, it’s the operations professionals who keep everything running smoothly. In engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing, the strength of your operations team directly determines your ability to meet demand, exceed expectations, and stay competitive in an evolving market. Whether it’s refining processes, coordinating people and product flow, or adapting to technological advancements and regulatory pressures, operations staff are the linchpins of performance and reliability.
Yet despite their critical importance, many Queensland businesses struggle to attract, assess, and secure top-tier operational talent. High turnover, a shortage of skilled professionals, and a highly competitive labour market mean that getting the right person in the right role isn’t easy — and getting it wrong can cost your business time, money, and momentum. That’s where Giide comes in. We’re not just recruiters — we’re strategic talent partners who specialise in finding, vetting, and placing exceptional Operations professionals who make a measurable impact.
At Giide, recruitment is not a transaction — it’s a partnership built on industry understanding, responsiveness, and commitment to results. Here’s how we deliver standout Operations talent for Queensland businesses
Our focus is deliberately narrow — Sales, Operations and Technical recruitment within engineering, manufacturing, logistics and warehousing — so we can go deep, not broad.
Our process includes in-depth role scoping, market mapping, candidate sourcing, structured interviews, and reference validation. We act as a strategic partner from day one.
Skills can be taught. Mindset, attitude, and culture alignment can’t. That’s why our shortlists are curated, not automated.
Operational challenges are people challenges. But with the right people, your operations can become your greatest competitive advantage. We help you get there.
Giide recruits for a broad spectrum of mid-to-senior level Operations roles across Queensland’s key industrial sectors. Our deep industry networks and process-driven approach allow us to deliver high-performing talent in areas such as:
Operations Managers – Leaders who set the pace, structure, and standards across teams and departments, ensuring daily output meets business objectives.
Production Supervisors – On-the-ground problem solvers who manage shift operations, reduce downtime, and maintain safety and compliance.
Supply Chain Coordinators – The critical link between procurement, production, and distribution, ensuring that goods flow smoothly through every stage.
Warehouse Managers – Operational leaders who balance inventory, logistics, team management, and continuous improvement in fast-moving environments.
Inventory and Logistics Analysts – Data-driven professionals who enhance visibility, reduce waste, and increase predictability across the supply chain.
Process Improvement Specialists – Focused on Lean, Six Sigma, or custom frameworks, these roles drive transformation that saves costs and boosts performance.
Every Operations placement we manage is tailored to the demands of the role and the dynamics of the business. We look beyond just experience on paper — we evaluate the leadership, communication, and continuous improvement mindsets that great Operations hires bring to the table.
Giide has partnered with a leading manufacturer in the heavy industries sector for several years, assisting with their recruitment and HR needs.

Giide conducted a detailed search, resulting in a strong shortlist of qualified candidates. We facilitated panel interviews and attended site visits to ensure a seamless process, from search to onboarding.
