About Us

Artcom Fabrication is a Perth-based signage and fabrication business known for turning complex, creative briefs into high-quality, bespoke reality. From large-format signage and public art through to custom graphics and one-off fabricated pieces, our workshop works across an enormous range of materials and processes — metals, acrylics, fibreglass, LED and neon, laminates, and more.

We're looking for an experienced Production Team Leader to run our workshop floor, lead a skilled production team, and make sure every job leaves us on time, on budget, and to a standard we're proud of.

About the Role

This is a hands-on leadership role at the centre of our production process. You'll split your time between managing the workshop floor and rolling your sleeves up alongside the team — fabricating, problem-solving, and setting the standard for quality and safety.

You'll be the critical link between sales, design, and production — running daily production meetings, planning workflow, and making sure every job sheet, material order, and installation date is tracked and delivered.

Day to day, you'll:

- Lead, coordinate and mentor a team of tradespeople and production staff across fabrication, finishing and installation

- Run daily production meetings with sales, design and production to plan workload and flag issues early

- Read and interpret production drawings and plans, translating them into a clear job-specific work schedule

- Oversee fabrication, moulding, assembly and finishing across a wide range of materials (plastics, metals, acrylics, fibreglass, glass, laminates, LED/neon) and coatings (painting, spray-painting, powder coating, laminating and more)





- Manage stock and consumables — ordering economically, tracking usage, and keeping accurate records for cost control

- Maintain quality control across every job, on and off site, and pick up issues before they become problems

- Coordinate site visits, installations and any special equipment or access requirements

- Champion a secure workshop — identifying hazards, enforcing safe work practices, and building the team's understanding of OH&S; responsibilities

- Keep the workshop opening/closing routines, equipment maintenance, and vehicle upkeep running like clockwork

What You'll Bring

- Trade qualification and solid hands-on experience in signage, fabrication, or a closely related trade

- Proven experience leading or supervising a production or workshop team

- Strong working knowledge of fabrication materials, coatings and finishing processes

- Confidence reading technical drawings and production plans

- Excellent time management — able to juggle multiple jobs and deadlines without losing sight of quality

- A practical, solutions-focused mindset with the judgement to work autonomously

- Strong communication skills — you'll be liaising daily with clients, sales, design and management

- A genuine commitment to workplace safety and quality

- Forklift or EWP (cherry-picker) tickets highly regarded

Why Join Artcom?

- Genuine variety — no two jobs are the same, from signage to public art to bespoke one-offs

- A hands-on leadership role with real autonomy and ownership of the workshop floor

- Work with a skilled, close-knit team that takes pride in its craft

- Be part of a business investing in its people and its future
