High-throughput site | Maintenance leadership role About the Role
We're working with a large, high-throughput manufacturing site in Brisbane running continuous, multi-shift production.
They are looking to appoint a Maintenance Supervisor to lead a team of trades and take ownership of maintenance execution and plant performance on shift.
The site operates with a mix of heavy plant and automated systems where equipment reliability directly impacts output.
This is a hands-on role focused on plant reliability, breakdown response, and maintenance execution in line with production requirements.
This role suits someone already operating at Supervisor level, or a strong Leading Hand looking to step up into a larger, more structured site.
What You'll Be Responsible For
* Leading a team of 12-20 mechanical and electrical trades on shift
* Managing breakdown response and driving urgency around uptime
* Coordinating planned maintenance alongside production requirements
* Making decisions on the floor to maintain plant performance
* Acting as the link between maintenance and production
* Maintaining safety, quality, and maintenance standards
The Site
* High-throughput production environment
* Downtime has an immediate impact on output
* Mix of older and newer plant, with automation across key areas
* Requires strong on-floor presence, not an office-based role
* Fast-paced environment where decisions need to be made on shift
What They're Looking For
* Trade-qualified (mechanical or electrical)
* Experience leading maintenance teams in production environments
* Strong fault-finding and practical problem-solving ability
* Able to operate under pressure in a fast-moving production environment
* Straightforward communicator who can work across teams
Additional Information
* Brisbane-based
* Day, afternoon, night shift options available
