Go far with IOR

IOR might be the greatest Aussie success story you haven't heard of… yet.

From humble roots in Eromanga, QLD, we've been fuelling the furthest corners of Australia for over 40 years. You won't see our logo on racing cars. Instead, you'll be part of a team that helps fuel LifeFlight's choppers and supports communities around the nation – real work with real impact that's growing every day.

We're looking for a Manufacturing Supervisor who thrives on turning operational challenges into smart, scalable solutions. This role puts you at the heart of production—leading teams, driving performance, and shaping IOR's journey as we grow into Australia's leading commercial fuel supplier. Join a hands-on, supportive crew that backs your decisions and empowers you to build a career with real impact.

Your opportunity

As our Manufacturing Supervisor you will lead workshop operations at our Port of Brisbane site. You'll manage a team of fitters and fabricators, overseeing the assembly of fuel systems and general fabrication tasks. This role sets production targets, drives quality and safety, and ensures projects are delivered on time. Strong mechanical skills, attention to detail, and leadership experience are key. Join a fast-growing team and help shape the future of fuel infrastructure.

• Supervise a skilled workshop team, driving productivity, safety, and quality through clear direction and collaborative leadership.
• Set daily/weekly targets, run toolbox talks, and ensure fabrication projects meet IOR's high standards and DIFOT goals.
• Manage tank fabrication, welding, painting, and assembly in line with Australian Standards and technical specifications.
• Enforce WHS compliance, conduct inspections, and uphold rigorous quality control across all workshop activities.
• Optimise workflows, support team development, and lead continuous improvement using Lean, 5S, and modern manufacturing practices.
