SCS Newcastle supplies shipping containers, modular buildings, site offices, portable amenities and specialised container solutions across the Hunter and beyond. We've recently moved into a new depot in Carrington and we're looking for a capable, hands-on supervisor to lead the yard and production team and help set the standard for how the site runs.

About the role

Reporting to the General Manager, you'll run day-to-day yard and production activity, making sure containers and modular units are prepared safely, built to spec and ready to go out the gate on time. This isn't a desk job. You'll be out on the floor organising staff, trades and contractors, jumping on the forklift when needed and keeping the whole operation moving.

Overseeing container modifications, repairs, preparation and fit-outs, and solving practical problems as they come up

Inspecting finished units before dispatch and arranging rectification of any defects

Keeping the yard safe, organised and presentable, with clear identification of stock and customer units

Managing materials and consumables, and keeping accurate job, stock and inspection records





Coordinating contractor inductions and checking their work against scope

Driving WHS standards through routine checks, hazard reporting and equipment maintenance

Working with Sales, Operations and Logistics, and recommending ways to improve depot workflow

About you

Experience as a production, yard or workshop supervisor, leading hand or similar in manufacturing, fabrication, construction, transport or an industrial setting

A proven ability to coordinate people, trades or contractors and deliver to deadlines

A current forklift licence and practical experience operating around trucks and heavy equipment

Strong planning and problem-solving skills, and the ability to juggle shifting priorities

A solid understanding of WHS and the confidence to enforce safe work practices

High standards for quality and presentation, and the ability to hold people accountable respectfully

Clear communication and basic computer skills for record-keeping and job management systems

A willingness to get stuck in on the floor

Experience with shipping containers, modular buildings, container modifications, fabrication, welding or construction

Experience coordinating electrical fit-outs is also a plus

$85,000 - $100,000 + super, depending on experience

Permanent full time role, Monday to Friday

The chance to shape operations at a brand new depot

A varied, hands-on role in a growing local business
