Head of Manufacturing / Plant Manager

Western Sydney | $200–220k + Super + 40% Bonus | On-site



We’re partnering with the ANZ division of a global manufacturing group to appoint a Head of Manufacturing for a flagship Western Sydney site.



This is a rare opportunity to take full operational ownership of a key manufacturing business at an important stage in its evolution.



The organisation is going through a period of change and performance uplift, with a strong mandate to strengthen Lean capability, operational delivery and site leadership.



This is a true site leadership role where you will have influence across operations, people and performance in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.



The Role



You will have end-to-end accountability for manufacturing and site operations, including production performance, cost, quality and delivery outcomes.



Key responsibilities include:

  • WHS leadership across the site
  • Maintenance and facilities oversight
  • Continuous improvement and Lean initiatives
  • Development and capability building across the operations leadership team
  • Driving operational standards in a visible, floor-based leadership style



The role requires a practical, people-focused leader who is comfortable driving change while maintaining strong operational performance.



About You



We are open on background, however the successful candidate will likely bring:

  • A Mechanical or Electrical Engineering foundation is preferred
  • Experience in complex manufacturing environments
  • Practical experience implementing Lean or continuous improvement methodologies
  • Exposure to organisations that have undergone acquisition, consolidation or transformation
  • Strong people leadership experience within an Australian operational context
  • Commercial awareness and full operational ownership capability
  • High energy, resilience and a hands-on leadership style



If you thrive in complex operational environments, enjoy driving change on the ground and want full accountability within a multinational-backed ANZ manufacturing business, please apply now for a confidential conversation.
