Job description

About Silver Lynx

Silver Lynx is an Australian furniture manufacturer with more than 60 years of experience making quality bedroom furniture. Based in Glenroy, we’re looking for a reliable, organised Production Administrator to help keep our day-to-day manufacturing activities running smoothly.

This is a varied, practical role working closely with our production planner, production supervisor, sales and design teams, and factory floor. You’ll help ensure the right information and materials are available when needed.

If you enjoy keeping things organised, following up details and helping solve everyday problems, we’d like to hear from you.

About the role

• Providing day-to-day administration support for production.
• Raising purchase orders, following up suppliers and coordinating timely material deliveries.
• Assisting with production planning, scheduling and programming.
• Maintaining accurate manufacturing, purchasing and stock information in our ERP system.
• Monitoring stock levels, assisting with stock control and preparing reports.
• Liaising with sales, design and factory teams to clarify requirements and resolve queries.
• Helping the production supervisor follow up issues that could delay manufacturing.
• Supporting improvements to everyday systems and processes.
• Assisting the sales and administration teams when required.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is dependable, hands-on and comfortable working with people across both the office and factory.

You’ll bring:

• Administration experience, ideally in manufacturing, purchasing, logistics or a similar environment.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly in Excel, Outlook and Word.
• Confidence using AI tools to improve administrative efficiency and streamline processes; experience with Microsoft Copilot is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and a well-organised approach.
• Clear, friendly communication and a willingness to follow things through.
• The ability to manage changing priorities and work through practical problems.
• A team-focused attitude and willingness to help where needed.
• Previous experience in a manufacturing environment is preferred, and experience using an ERP system would be helpful. Furniture industry experience isn’t essential—we value strong administration skills, a practical approach and a willingness to learn.

What we offer

• A permanent, full-time position based at our Glenroy factory.
• A regular five-day working week.
• A varied role with an established Australian manufacturer.
• Close working relationships with an experienced team and management.
• The opportunity to build your knowledge of purchasing, production planning and manufacturing.
