GM, Plant & Facility Operations

About the Company
A global manufacturing group in the precision technology and imaging manufacturing space. As part of a regional expansion, they are building out their Johor manufacturing site and are looking for a hands-on local leader to take ownership of this operation.

About the Role
A newly created, strategic leadership role covering both plant operations and site facilities for a growing manufacturing site in Johor.

• Design and implement clear policies, structure, and ways of working across the site
• Manage third-party vendor and workforce partnerships
• Build and lead your own team, with scope to shape it over time
• Bridge communication between overseas leadership and the local workforce

About You

• Proven experience in a plant/factory leadership role, ideally with additional exposure to HR, admin, or site facilities management
• Comfortable managing a multi-national workforce
• A structured, hands-on operator who can build process from scratch, not just maintain an existing system
• Manufacturing background in electronics, precision engineering, or a related technical industry preferred

What's on Offer

• Genuine autonomy to shape how the site is run
• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
