What will you be doing?

Responsibilities

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will be accountable for day to day production at Steel & Tube’s Otahuhu Reinforcing plant. You will oversee machine setup, truck loading, equipment maintenance and stock taking, monitor job flows, train and discipline staff, and solve day to day issues. Bigger picture, your key responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring daily production requirements are achieved to meet customer expectations and in line with safety, quality, cost and delivery parameters in alignment with organisational wide objectives.
• Continuously identify and implement opportunities for improvement: processes, quality and cost management.
• Providing leadership, direction, support and training of on-site staff and ensuring appropriate resources (labour, equipment and raw materials) are available to achieve production demand. Be actively involved in recruitment, performance reviews and staff development.
• Ensuring that Health & Safety remains a top priority through appropriate ongoing training, zero tolerance to unsafe work practices and positive reinforcement to ‘do the right thing’.

Who are we looking for?

We Seek Candidates With The Following

• Manufacturing experience. You’ve worked in a number of production environments giving you breadth of experience working with a variety of manufacturing machines and processes.
• Proven leadership abilities that encourage ideas and contribution and create a positive achievement and learning environment. You are likeable, have a great sense of humour, and have the ability to engage and motivate others.
• Practical and hands-on. While this is a management role, much of your time will be spent on the floor engaging with your team and you’re prepared to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in as required.
• Proficient in the use of MRP software. Ideally you also have CAD or AutoCAD knowledge and skills and can accurately read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications for construction.
• Ability to make decisions and follow through. You can cut through the clutter, prioritise and drive for results.
