This is a genuine 50/50 role - half hands-on technical work, half team leadership and project coordination.
You’ll take ownership of bringing approved designs to life, managing everything from fabrication and assembly through to the final installation.
If you’re a natural problem-solver who loves working with your hands, leading people and getting things done, this could be a brilliant next step.

-
Lead the workshop: Oversee daily production, fabrication, assembly and workflow.
-
Manage the team: Coordinate staff, allocate work, set priorities and keep projects on track.
-
Get hands-on: Work alongside the team on fabrication, assembly, repairs and technical challenges.
-
Deliver projects: Turn approved designs into production plans, coordinating materials, suppliers and deadlines.
-
Manage installations: Plan and participate in on-site installations, ensuring safety, quality and attention to detail.
-
Own quality and safety: Maintain workshop standards, check finished products and oversee site compliance.
-
Solve problems: Troubleshoot issues, coordinate repairs and keep the Founder informed of progress.
What we’re looking for
You might currently be a Workshop Manager, Production Supervisor, Leading Hand, Installation Manager or experienced tradesperson ready for more responsibility.

You’ll bring:
-
Strong hands-on technical skills and experience reading drawings and specifications.
-
Experience supervising or leading a small team.
-
The ability to organise jobs, materials, people and competing deadlines.
-
A practical, solutions-focused approach and pride in quality workmanship.
-
Strong communication, reliability and a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
-
A current driver’s licence and White Card.
Experience with CNC machinery or custom installations is a bonus.
Why join us?
-
105,000–115,000 + super — reflecting your experience.
-
Real variety — from workshop production to unique on-site installations.
-
Genuine ownership — lead projects and your team from start to finish.
-
Stay hands-on — use your technical skills every day.
