About the role

We are currently seeking an experienced Production Manager to join our team in Canning Vale on our afternoon shift. Looking after a team of up to 15 operators and material handlers with a focus on meeting our customers’ requirements on time and to the highest quality. We are looking for someone with demonstrated experience and success in manufacturing, safety and leadership.

This is a full-time position, with the afternoon shift hours of:

• Monday to Thursday, 2:25pm – 11:10pm

We work in a blue collar, family-owned business and we all chip in when help is needed, so this job would be suited to someone with a hands-on approach to achieving targets and outcomes. As a finishing trade, we work on short lead times and do not tend to make the same thing twice, requiring a flexible mind to prioritise, resolve and respond to changing requirements.

As systems are critical here, a methodical mind is needed to create and maintain best-practice processes along with an ability to think on your feet and deal calmly with machinery, quality and customer challenges.

• Plan and schedule resources to maximise efficiency and minimise downtime
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives across processes and performance
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, and quality standards, championing and modelling a safety-first culture
• Collaborating and coordinating across shifts to meet output and organisational requirements.

What you will have

• Strong mechanical or technical understanding – ideally with experience in a manufacturing or construction industry
• Excellent communicator who leads by example and builds strong team culture

• Experience in leadership positions, with the ability to manage multiple, competing demands
• Experience building or maintaining processes and ongoing continuous improvement
• Experience championing safety within a manufacturing environment
