**The Company**
Our client is Australia’s leading industrial manufacturer of prefabricated roof trusses, wall frames, posi struts and cassette floor panels. The business is 100% Australian-owned and operated (with manufacturing facilities across Melbourne, Geelong and Brisbane) and prides itself on quality, efficiency and reliability. They continue to innovate and grow across the building industry and invests heavily in their staff.

**The Role**
Newly created role - As the Continuous Improvement Manager, you will be primarily based at the Geelong plant and requires regular travel to the Brisbane site to oversee and drive the continuous improvement process.

You will embark the sites on a C/I journey by coaching, educating and encouraging enthusiasm for embracing change. Culturally you will bring passion, hunger and enthusiasm combined with LEAN Continuous Improvement skills.

As the Continuous Improvement Manager, you will be required to bring technical and analytical expertise, combined with a fresh approach to General Manufacturing Practices. Supporting the Site Leadership Group, you will play an integral role in training and mentoring the existing team and ensure that overall best practice is achieved, ideally utilising LEAN methodologies. Strong focus on process flow analysis, waste mapping, process improvement boards, driving improvement projects and implementation of other KPI’s related to C/I initiatives for both plants.
