**Location**: Melbourne - West

At Visy, we love solving problems. And that’s something we do better working together. We are looking for people who see what’s ahead and run towards it.

Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, recycling and remanufacturing. We believe materials are not recycled until they’ve been made into new products. We are using recycled content to power Australia and New Zealand’s food and beverage packaging industry. We manufacture anything from cardboard boxes, water bottles and jam jars to food and beverage cans, all using recycled content.

**The opportunity**:
Visy Board Truganina is seeking an experienced leader to oversee and manage the operations of our manufacturing facility. As the **Operations Manager**, you will be responsible for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the plant. Your role will encompass all aspects of manufacturing, including health, safety, environmental compliance, production management, financial performance, and the leadership of a diverse team.

In this dynamic role, you will:

- Ensure a safe and compliant working environment.
- Oversee production processes to meet operational targets.
- Manage budgets, costs, and P&L performance.

- Support customer service excellence.
- Handle HR and industrial relations, including recruitment and staff development.

Reporting to the **State Operations Manager**, key responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

- **Health, Safety & Compliance**: Ensure a safe working environment, manage incidents, and oversee adherence to safety regulations.
- **Manufacturing Process**: Oversee production, staff, materials, and meet productivity and waste reduction targets.
- **Cost & Financial Management**: Manage costs, budgets, and ensure financial targets are met.
- **Quality Assurance**: Maintain product quality standards and manage technical aspects of production.
- **Customer Service**: Ensure operations meet customer expectations and service levels.
- **HR & Industrial Relations**: Oversee recruitment, staff development, and union engagement, addressing workplace relations and injury management.

**What you will bring to the team**:

- Strong leadership skills, with a focus on safety and compliance in a manufacturing environment.
- Proven experience managing end-to-end production processes in a fast-paced setting ideally from a fibre/ corrugated background.
- A track record of achieving financial targets and optimizing operational costs.
- Solid understanding of quality management systems (e.g., HACCP, Safety, Quality).
- Experience handling HR and industrial relations matters, including union negotiations.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team.

**Benefits**:

- Competitive salary package and incentives
- Career development and progression opportunities within Visy
- Access to comprehensive training and leadership development programs
- Work in a supportive and safety-focused environment
- Opportunity to contribute to a leading sustainable packaging and recycling company

When you join Visy, you’re joining a global leader dedicated to making serious progress in the sustainable packaging, recycling, re-manufacturing and logistics industries. We love solving the problems that make an impact and grow our business. If you think you can help us, you’ll fit right in.

**You will be required to meet Visy’s employment criteria which will include a criminal history**
**check and pre-employment medical (including drug & alcohol testing).**

**Visy is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a working environment that**
**embraces and values diversity and inclusion.**
