Production Operations Manager – Food Manufacturing

Miami Bakehouse is one of WA’s most awarded and well-known food manufacturing brands. From our central production kitchen in Mandurah, we produce high volumes of fresh, handcrafted products daily for our retail network across WA’s Southwest.

We are now seeking a highly capable Production Manager to join our Senior Management Team.

This is a key leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced production environment, loves working with people, and is genuinely driven by results. You will work closely with team leaders, be highly organised, and take ownership of key production outcomes across the bakery.

The Role

This is a full-time, hands‑on role based in our central food manufacturing kitchen in Mandurah. Reporting to the General Manager and working as part of the Senior Management Team, you will take ownership of production performance across the bakery.

Your focus will be driving results across labour efficiency, wastage control, meeting daily production requirements and product quality, while ensuring strong operational discipline across all shifts.

You will directly lead our Cake and Bread teams, as well as supporting and developing your team leaders to ensure their departments consistently perform, remain well organised, and operate within established systems and quality standards.

This is not a desk‑based position. You will be visible on the production floor, closely connected to the team, and actively identifying opportunities to improve workflow, team capability and overall performance.

The role is primarily Monday–Friday,



with flexibility required across production hours and weekends as needed.

About You

This role will suit someone with proven leadership experience in food production or manufacturing who knows how to get the best out of people while maintaining high operational standards.

Your background may be in FMCG, food manufacturing, ready meals, large‑scale catering or central production kitchens. Bakery experience is not essential. Strong leadership skills are.

- A confident, hands‑on leader who can motivate, coach and develop people
- Highly organised and strong with systems, planning and follow‑through
- Comfortable having direct conversations, setting clear expectations and holding others accountable
- Experienced in managing wages, rostering and production KPIs
- Process‑driven, with a practical mindset for continuous improvement
- Calm under pressure, with strong attention to detail
- Above all, we're looking for someone who leads by example, takes ownership and understands that great production results come from well‑led teams.

What We Offer

Miami Bakehouse is a stable, well‑established WA business with strong values and a hardworking team who like to get things done.

In return, we offer:

- A senior leadership position in a respected WA food brand
- Salary $110,000 – $130,000 (based on experience)
- Clear KPIs and strong operational structure
- Established systems, procedures and planning tools
- Support from an experienced senior leadership team
- A workplace that values high standards, ownership and continuous improvement

If you are a solid people leader who thrives on accountability, performance and achieving results through your team, we’d like to hear from you.
