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 protected 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
