Lead the team. Work on the tools. Keep production moving.
The Fibreglass Factory is looking for a capable, practical and proactive Leading Hand / Production Supervisor to lead our laminating department while working hands-on alongside the team.
You do not need fibreglass experience - we can teach you that. What we are looking for is someone who already knows how to lead people on a factory or workshop floor, think ahead, organise work and keep a small production team moving without needing constant direction.
This is not a desk-based supervisor role. Approximately 80% of your time will be spent working on the tools and learning our fibreglass manufacturing processes, with the remaining time focused on leading and coordinating a team of approximately four people.
What you'll be responsible for
The person we're looking for
The right person is likely to be someone who:
A driver's licence is preferred but not essential. Fibreglass/composites experience is welcome, but it is not required.
What matters most to us
We are not looking for the person with the longest fibreglass resume. We are looking for the person with the right
leadership skills, attitude and initiative.
If you can walk into a workshop, understand what needs to happen, organise a small team, think two or three steps
ahead and still happily get on the tools yourself, we want to hear from you.
