Renron Australia is a specialist structural steel fabrication and welding business supporting major infrastructure and industrial projects.
Founded in 2017, we have grown from an onsite welding provider into a multi-state business with a substantial fabrication facility in Point Cook and operations supporting projects across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

You will work closely with the Production Manager, workshop leadership, project teams and site-based welding supervisors to ensure quality requirements are understood early, planned properly and delivered efficiently.
The successful candidate will be organised, commercially aware and results focused.
You will be expected to manage multiple fabrication projects at different stages, resolve issues without unnecessary disruption, and build a constructive working relationship with production while maintaining the standards our clients and certifications require.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Host client inspectors, surveillance officers, auditors and third-party certification representatives.
- Monitor quality performance, identify recurring issues and implement measurable improvements across the business.
- Mentor and hold accountable quality personnel and welding supervisors across workshop and site operations.
- WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Project documentation is accurate, complete and submitted on time.
- NCRs are addressed promptly and recurring issues reduce over time.
- Production and quality teams work as one team, with clear responsibilities and respectful communication.
- Multiple projects remain controlled, visible and audit-ready without avoidable last-minute pressure.
- Clients and auditors experience a professional, responsive and technically credible quality function.
- WHAT YOU WILL BRING
