Posted: 18 February
Offer description

About Us

We design and manufacture eye-catching displays and signage that demand quality, innovation, and precision. From concept to completion, everything happens in-house — and we're proud of the craftsmanship that leaves our factory.

We're on the hunt for an experienced, hands-on Factory Foreman who knows their way around a workshop, can lead from the front, and enjoys keeping production running smoothly (even when things get busy).

You must have the ability to multitask, adhere to processes/procedures, and still be hands-on when required.

Our Culture is very important to us:

Our number one priority is a positive, respectful attitude. We value staff who are calm under pressure, supportive of their team mates, and contribute to a healthy workplace culture.

The Role

This is a leadership role with your boots firmly on the factory floor. Well suited to a practical leader who takes pride in craftsmanship, solves problems fast, and creates a positive, high-performing workplace every day.

You will be responsible for overseeing our end-to-end manufacturing operations, making sure jobs are delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard .

What you'll be doing:

* Run the Floor – Manage daily production across signage and display projects, keeping timelines, quality, and budgets on track.

* Keep Things Moving – Review staff workflows, improve efficiencies (keep the team and factory humming) and streamline processes wherever possible.

* Resource Control – Manage materials, inventory, supplies, and equipment.

* Rostering & Scheduling – Coordinate staff rosters and assist with daily schedules to meet production demands.

* Deadline Driven – Prioritise tasks with floor staff to consistently hit delivery deadlines.

* Lead the Team – Motivate, support, and manage production staff, building a strong team culture.

* Quality Champion – Ensure every product leaving the factory meets our standards (and our clients' expectations).

* Problem Solver – Troubleshoot issues quickly and find practical solutions when challenges arise.

* Hands-On Support – Jump in on the floor when needed — leading by example is part of the job.

This role is Monday to Friday with Saturday's required when busy.

There may be weekdays when additional hours are required beyond a standard working week to support the team during peak periods.

About You

You're a natural leader who's just as comfortable managing people as you are working with materials and machinery.

You'll bring:

* Strong knowledge of manufacturing materials and processes.

* Confident leadership and communication skills — you can talk to designers, suppliers, and staff with ease

* A genuine \"people person\" approach — you know how to build trust, rapport, and team morale

* Basic Computer Skills – Need to be familiar with the Microsoft Suite ie. Outlook/Excel/Word.

What You'll Need

* Demonstrated experience managing a manufacturing floor and leading production staff

* A minimum of 3-5 years of manufacturing floor management experience is required

* A proven ability to meet production schedules while maintaining quality and safety standards

* Experience implementing efficient manufacturing processes and best practices

* Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to train, mentor, and develop staff

* Australian work rights are required for this position

Industry experience required:
You must have experience in at least one of the following:

* Joinery

* 3D Signage

* Metal Fabrication

* Display Fabrication

Candidates with experience across multiple industries (joinery, signage, fabrication) will be preferred over those with single-industry experience.

If you're looking for a role where your leadership, experience, and hands-on skills actually make a difference — and where no two days are the same — this could be the role for you.
