What we're looking for in you

__________

We're looking for someone who gets it, wants it, and has the capacity to lead. Someone with a solid grounding in CNC machining and manufacturing who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment.

You'll be a strong fit if you can demonstrate:

• Extensive experience in machining or manufacturing, ideally with time on the tools
• Proven success managing production teams and planning complex shopfloor schedules
• A naturally organised and driven approach, with strong initiative and follow-through
• The ability to build trust, listen well, and motivate others to achieve their best
• Curiosity and a habit of asking thoughtful questions to understand and improve
• Emotional intelligence, humility, and a mindset focused on the greater good of the team
• Ownership mentality — you want to take responsibility, make things better, and grow
• Confident with computers and production systems (SFDC or equivalent experience is a plus)
• Ideally, exposure to batch work, subcontract coordination, and precision machining operations

This isn't a role for someone who just wants to manage from a distance. We're looking for someone with the energy, empathy, and attention to detail to make things happen and bring people with them.
