About the Company
Our client is a well-established, Australian-owned manufacturer with more than 75 years of success. Operating in the plastics and packaging sector, they supply into food, medical, automotive and industrial markets. The business continues to grow, with ongoing investment in new machinery and technology, and offers a stable, supportive workplace culture.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Maintenance Supervisor to take charge of all maintenance operations at the company's Melbourne North facility. Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you'll lead a small team and contractors, oversee plant and building services, and drive a shift from reactive to preventative maintenance.
This is a day shift role with occasional weekend work for essential shutdowns, and comes with the added benefit of an RDO each month.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and supervise a small maintenance team (fitter and toolmaker) plus contractors
- Implement preventative and predictive maintenance systems
- Plan, prioritise and respond to breakdowns and projects to minimise downtime
- Oversee utilities and services (compressors, chillers, HVAC, pumps, building maintenance)
- Manage budgets, spare parts and supplier relationships
- Ensure compliance with OHS, safety and quality standards
- Support continuous improvement and reliability initiatives across the site
About You
- Trade qualified (mechanical fitter, toolmaker, electrical or similar)
- Proven maintenance leadership in a manufacturing setting
- Strong skills in hydraulics, pneumatics and factory services
- Hands-on, solutions-focused and able to balance technical work with supervision
- Organised, proactive, and confident in introducing new systems
- Experience with injection moulding machinery is desirable, not essential
What's on Offer
- Attractive package: up to $150k + super (depending on experience)
- Monthly RDO on top of annual leave entitlements
- Leadership role reporting to the Operations Manager
- Supportive and stable Australian manufacturing business
- Scope to shape the function and implement best-practice systems
