Deputy Production Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Deputy Production Manager to join our well-established team and help oversee our offsite manufacturing facilities. Reporting to the Production Manager, you'll play a key role in ensuring production runs safely, efficiently, and to a high standard of quality, while also taking the lead on Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) initiatives across the site.

Key responsibilities

• Work with the Production Manager to analyse and allocate production priorities, resolving issues as they arise

• Manage and coordinate production labour

• Assist with the management of incoming materials

• Oversee quality assurance, including completion of required paperwork

• Resolve technical issues, liaising with the Design and Engineering teams and the Production Manager

• Set up and program CNC machines as required

• Train and mentor other team members

• Contribute to hands-on fabrication work when workload requires

• Implement site inductions; write new inductions and refine existing ones

• Assist with the testing of equipment and machinery

About you

• 5+ years' experience in the manufacture of aluminium façades, or windows and doors

• Knowledge of CNCs

• Some experience in OH&S (further training can be provided)

• Management experience is preferred but not essential — this could be a step-up opportunity for the right person

• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to train, mentor, and lead safety walks

• Relevant licences/tickets highly regarded (e.g. forklift, working at heights, white card)

• Comfortable on the production floor, including hands-on fabrication work when required
