Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Six Degrees Executive Full time
About the Company

Six Degrees Executive is a leading recruitment agency specializing in placing top talent in various industries. Our client is a successful and award-winning privately owned consumer goods manufacturing business with multiple sites around Melbourne, serving large business customers and major retailers.

About the Role

The Technical Operations Lead is a critical position responsible for translating business strategy into operations. This role is a mix of process/industrial engineering and production supervision, leading a small group of production team leaders in a 24/7 plant with multiple shifts. The successful candidate will ensure safe and efficient interactions between operators and machinery, maximizing quality using their engineering background and CI tools such as lean.

About You
  • You are an engineer in the manufacturing sector with aspirations to run operations.
  • You have a solid grasp of continuous improvement tools and frameworks such as lean.
  • You possess an engineering degree (process/chemical or mechanical) and experience in production-focused engineering roles (process engineer, industrial/production/manufacturing engineer).
  • You have experience utilizing lean tools (or similar) to improve manufacturing efficiency.
  • You have continuous manufacturing process experience (such as FMCG, packaging, pulp and paper, chemical).
  • Supervisory experience is an advantage but not a prerequisite.
Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity for an aspirational manufacturing engineer to gain a genuine development plan towards operations leadership. You will apply your engineering skills while developing leadership capability with support from established leaders. This role offers a rare chance to gain a staged path towards people leadership rather than being dropped in the deep end.

Key Responsibilities
  • Translate business strategy into operations.
  • Lead a small group of production team leaders in a 24/7 plant with multiple shifts.
  • Ensure safe and efficient interactions between operators and machinery.
  • Maximize quality using engineering background and CI tools such as lean.
