Production Manager

Our client in the manufacturing sector is seeking a hands-on, technically strong Production Manager to oversee a fast-paced operation across five departments: Printing, Fabrication, Welding, Vinyl & Cutting, and Offsite Installation.

This is not a desk-bound role. We are looking for a visible, floor-based leader who works side by side with another Production Manager, actively driving performance, solving problems in real time, and ensuring smooth coordination across multiple moving parts.

• 5-10+ years' production management experience in a manufacturing environment
• Strong preference for Signage Industry experience
• Steel fabrication or general manufacturing background highly advantageous (packaging experience not suitable)
• Proven experience managing 40 staff per shift in a shift-based environment
• Exposure to laser cutting, CNC routers, welding equipment, and fabrication processes
• Basic electrical / wiring knowledge beneficial

• Oversee full production workflow across multiple departments
• Drive efficiency, quality, cost control, and on-time delivery
• Manage shift schedules and overtime requirements
• Ensure strong health & safety compliance
• Lead, develop, and motivate production teams

We are seeking a practical, solutions-driven leader with strong technical understanding and the ability to thrive in a high-output manufacturing environment.

Only suitably qualified candidates will be contacted.
