Operations Manager

Are you a hands-on operations leader who thrives on the floor, not just in the office? We're looking for an experienced Operations Manager to take the reins of manufacturing operations for a growing business in Shepparton.

This is a genuine leadership role — you'll be accountable for driving performance across a two-shift operation, leading a team of around 45, and making a real, visible impact on productivity, quality, and culture.

What you'll be doing:

• Overseeing day-to-day manufacturing operations across the site
• Managing production across two shifts, ensuring consistent output and coverage
• Leading a team of approximately 45 employees
• Driving productivity and continuous operational improvement
• Ensuring quality standards are consistently maintained
• Monitoring general manufacturing performance and identifying issues early
• Holding team members accountable and driving a performance culture
• Leading, motivating, and developing your production teams
• Partnering closely with the administration support team to keep operations running smoothly

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience managing manufacturing operations at scale
• A hands-on leadership style — you lead from the floor, not the sidelines
• Experience managing large production teams (40+)
• A track record of improving productivity and operational performance
• Strong leadership, communication, and people management skills

If you're a driven operations leader ready to take ownership of a site and make it your own, we want to hear from you.
