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.

Key responsibilities include:
- WHS leadership across the site
- Maintenance and facilities oversight

- 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.
