Production Manager

We are looking for a talented Production Manager to help lead the way.

About the Role

As our Production Manager, you’ll be the central link between our design team, workshop, and clients. You’ll keep projects moving smoothly from site measuring and drawings through to fabrication, finishing, and install.

This is a hands-on role where your skills in scheduling, people leadership, and technical know-how will make a huge impact. You’ll:

  • Create and manage production schedules

  • Oversee accurate site measures and ensure the details get into CAD drawings

  • Coordinate closely with our CAD designer

  • Monitor workflow and keep jobs on track

  • Lead toolbox meetings and keep communication flowing

  • Supervise and support our fabrication team

  • Identify and resolve production bottlenecks

  • Liaise with customers for drawing approvals, updates, and install planning

  • Manage quality control processes

  • Oversee just-in-time material ordering to keep jobs running efficiently

  • Handle conflict resolution with professionalism and calm

About You

We’re looking for someone who’s:

✅ Organised and proactive
✅ Experienced in production scheduling and managing multiple projects
✅ Confident with technical drawings and measurements
✅ A natural leader who builds strong relationships with staff and clients
✅ Calm under pressure and quick to solve problems
✅ Detail-focused with a drive for quality

Fabrication engineering experience is a big plus, as you will need to be familiar with materials, anchoring and weld procedures....but we also need someone with strong production management skills and the right attitude.

Why Work With Us?

  • A stable, growing company with varied and interesting projects

  • Supportive team culture where everyone pitches in

  • Respect for your ideas and contributions

  • Opportunity to make real improvements and leave your mark

  • Competitive pay and conditions

If you’re ready to bring your expertise and leadership to a team that values quality, reliability, and getting things done — we’d love to hear from you!
