About The Company
Our client is an established Australian manufacturer supplying precast concrete products to the civil and water infrastructure sector. Are you a hands on production leader with a background in concrete, precast, or manufacturing environments? We're looking for a Concrete Plant Manager to take ownership of a busy, high volume production site based in Riverview.
This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast paced environment and wants to make a genuine, visible impact on how a plant runs day to day, with a strong pathway to a permanent position for the right person.
About the Role
You'll be responsible for the daily running of the concrete production operation, leading a multi team workforce through a period of significant process improvement. The site is transitioning from traditional batch production toward a continuous flow model, so you'll play a key role in embedding new ways of working, standardising processes across shifts, and lifting overall output without adding cost.

- Champion a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with site safety standards
- Build cross skilling across teams to improve flexibility and reduce bottlenecks
- Report on production KPIs and support senior leadership with improvement planning
- Manage relationships with internal stakeholders and support broader site coordination
- Proven experience managing or supervising a concrete, precast, or manufacturing production plant
- Demonstrated experience leading teams of a similar size (40+), including managing through a Supervisor or team leader layer
- Strong understanding of lean production principles, continuous flow, or process improvement methodology (highly regarded)
- Confident leading and developing teams, including rostering and performance management
- Comfortable working in an outdoor, industrial production environment
- Strong communication skills and a proactive, solutions focused approach
- Current driver's licence; forklift or crane tickets are a plus
- Temp to Perm arrangement, with genuine opportunity for a permanent role based on performance
- Riverview location, easy access from surrounding Brisbane and Ipswich areas
- The chance to be part of a business actively investing in modernising its operations
- Supportive leadership team open to new ideas and process improvement
