Job Description

Permanent Full-Time | 40 Hours | Kenwick

Are you an experienced Boilermaker, Fabricator or Welder ready to step into a leadership role — without moving completely off the tools?

We’re looking for a hands-on Production Supervisor to lead a small production team in a busy workshop manufacturing heavy-duty equipment for the transport industry.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for keeping production moving, making sure jobs are completed on time and to a high standard, while supporting the team on the tools when needed.

Your day will include:

- Supervising a small fabrication, welding and assembly team
- Planning and coordinating daily production
- Fabrication, welding and assembly work
- Quality checking completed work and production paperwork
- Training and supporting team members
- Maintaining tools, jigs and workshop equipment
- Ordering workshop consumables
- Helping clear backlogs and cover the team when required
- Assisting with technical product enquiries and warranty assessments
- Investigating quality issues and coordinating rework when required

What We're Looking For

You don't need to have been a Supervisor before.



We're interested in people with the right hands-on experience and leadership ability.

Ideally, you'll have:

- A strong background in boilermaking, fabrication or welding
- Experience working with heavy equipment, transport equipment, trailers or similar
- The ability to read drawings and understand fabrication processes
- Good attention to quality and detail
- Confidence leading and training others
- A practical, “get stuck in” attitude
- Good communication and problem-solving skills
- The ability to work on the tools when the team needs you

This is a great chance for a senior tradesperson who is ready to take the next step into supervision, or an experienced supervisor who still enjoys being hands-on.

What's On Offer

- Permanent full-time position
- Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week
- Kenwick location
- Clean, spacious workshop
- Small, close-knit production team
- Overhead cranes, forklifts, lifting equipment, welding bays and assembly areas
- Hands-on leadership role with plenty of variety

If you're a tradesperson who knows how to get a job done and is ready to lead from the front, we'd like to hear from you.
