We are seeking a highly experienced Factory / Production Manager to take a senior leadership role within our established high-end joinery business in Sydney.

We specialise in premium residential and architectural joinery, working alongside leading builders, architects and interior designers. Our projects are bespoke and demand exceptional quality, accuracy and attention to detail.

This is not a volume cabinetry role. We are looking for someone with extensive experience in high-end custom joinery who can confidently take ownership of a busy factory, production team and multiple projects.

About You

You will ideally have 10+ years' experience in joinery/cabinetmaking, including significant experience in factory management, production management or a senior supervisory role.

You will have robust knowledge of:

- High-end residential and architectural joinery

- Bespoke kitchens, wardrobes and custom cabinetry

- Architectural plans and detailed shop drawings

- Veneers, solid timber, polyurethane and premium finishes

- CNC machinery and modern manufacturing processes

- Production scheduling and factory workflow

- Quality control and installation requirements

- Managing multiple projects and deadlines

- Troubleshooting complex manufacturing and site issues

The Role

You will be responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of the factory, including:

- Leading and coordinating the production team

- Planning production schedules and allocating labour

- Reviewing jobs and drawings prior to manufacture

- Working closely with drafting, project management and installation teams





- Ensuring materials and hardware are available when required

- Monitoring production deadlines and workflow

- Maintaining exceptional quality-control standards

- Identifying bottlenecks and improving factory efficiency

- Minimising rework, wastage and unnecessary labour

- Resolving manufacturing and installation issues

- Maintaining WHS and safe working practices

- Mentoring and developing factory staff

The Person

We need someone who can run the factory – not simply supervise it.

You will be highly organised, proactive, calm under pressure and confident making decisions. You will understand labour efficiency, productivity, wastage and rework while never compromising on quality.

Most importantly, you will know that in high-end joinery, “good enough” is not good enough.

Our Culture

We have an experienced, close-knit team with a great working atmosphere and plenty of banter between the factory and office.

We work hard and have very high standards, but we also want people to enjoy coming to work.

We want a manager who earns respect through their knowledge, experience, organisation and communication – someone who can lead the team, maintain accountability and still have a laugh along the way.

Salary & Opportunity

We are prepared to offer a very attractive salary package for an exceptional candidate.

We are not looking for the cheapest person – we are looking for the right person and are prepared to pay accordingly.

For someone who can genuinely take ownership of our factory, team and production, this is an excellent long-term senior opportunity.
