The Fibreglass Factory in Yarram, Gippsland, is seeking a Leading Hand / Production Supervisor to lead our laminating department while working hands-on with the team.
This is not a desk job; about 80% of your time is on the tools learning laminating and chopper-gun, with the rest guiding a small team of four. Prior supervisory experience in manufacturing is preferred.
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.
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.
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.
This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a small production department while learning a specialised manufacturing trade. You will work closely with management, have clear responsibility for day-to-day workflow and play an important part in building a more efficient, capable and self-sufficient production team.
