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
