Ashton Manufacturing is one of Australia's leading funeral product manufacturers, supplying high-quality coffins, caskets and accessories nationwide.
Due to continued growth, we are seeking an experienced and hands‐on
Operations Supervisor

This is not a desk‐based supervisory role.
You'll lead from the front, work alongside the team when required and take responsibility for ensuring the Victorian operation runs safely, efficiently and to the high standards expected by Ashton Manufacturing.
