Production / Site Manager
Visa sponsorship
Manufacturing · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
An industry-leading manufacturer operating nationally in Australia is appointing a Production / Site Manager to oversee a rural production site approximately two hours from Perth. The position suits a practical leader with a manufacturing or mechanical background.
Responsibilities span the entire facility, including production throughput and workflow, workplace safety, staffing and rostering, quality control and inventory. Equipment is the main emphasis, so the manager is expected to diagnose issues on site and decide when external suppliers should attend. The role reports to senior management on Australia's East Coast, so the appointee will exercise considerable autonomy with high-level support available.
The successful candidate must reside near the site at least from Monday to Friday. The employer is open to applicants who require sponsorship, provided that they possess the appropriate skills, experience and strong communication skills.
