Production Supervisor

Permanent Full-Time | 40 Hours | Kenwick

Are you an experienced Boilermaker, Fabricator or Welder ready to step into a leadership role — without moving completely off the tools?

We’re looking for a hands-on Production Supervisor to lead a small production team in a busy workshop manufacturing heavy-duty equipment for the transport industry.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for keeping production moving, making sure jobs are completed on time and to a high standard, while supporting the team on the tools when needed.

Your day will include:

• Supervising a small fabrication, welding and assembly team
• Planning and coordinating daily production
• Fabrication, welding and assembly work
• Quality checking completed work and production paperwork
• Training and supporting team members
• Maintaining tools, jigs and workshop equipment
• Ordering workshop consumables
• Helping clear backlogs and cover the team when required
• Assisting with technical product enquiries and warranty assessments
• Investigating quality issues and coordinating rework when required

What We're Looking For

You don't need to have been a Supervisor before. We're interested in people with the right hands-on experience and leadership ability.

Ideally, you'll have:

• A strong background in boilermaking, fabrication or welding
• Experience working with heavy equipment, transport equipment, trailers or similar
• The ability to read drawings and understand fabrication processes
• Good attention to quality and detail
• Confidence leading and training others
• A practical, “get stuck in” attitude
• Good communication and problem-solving skills
• The ability to work on the tools when the team needs you

This is a great opportunity for a senior tradesperson who is ready to take the next step into supervision, or an experienced supervisor who still enjoys being hands-on.

What's On Offer

• Permanent full-time position
• Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week
• Kenwick location
• Clean, spacious workshop
• Small, close-knit production team
• Overhead cranes, forklifts, lifting equipment, welding bays and assembly areas
• Hands-on leadership role with plenty of variety

If you're a tradesperson who knows how to get a job done and is ready to lead from the front, we'd like to hear from you.
