Job description

State Manager | Queensland Operations | Brisbane

Growth creates opportunity.

Polyfoam is a well-established and profitable manufacturing business supplying expanded polystyrene products to the construction, produce, seafood and packaging sectors across Queensland.

As Polyfoam continues to invest in its people, operational performance and future success, an opportunity has emerged for an experienced State Manager to lead the Queensland operation and contribute to the continued growth of the business.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, the State Manager will provide leadership across manufacturing, maintenance, engineering, quality, customer service and administration.
The foundations of the business are strong. The products, people and customer base are established. The opportunity now is to further strengthen leadership capability across the operation, ensuring managers and supervisors are empowered to make decisions, take ownership and lead their teams with confidence.

You will be the type of leader who can walk into an established operation, take the time to understand what works, build credibility with key stakeholders and implement practical improvements that strengthen communication, leadership effectiveness and overall business performance.

Success in this role will come from your ability to lead through others, developing capable managers and supervisors who take ownership of outcomes and drive performance within their own teams.

This role will suit an experienced manufacturing leader who can balance operational performance with people leadership while fostering a culture of accountability, engagement and continuous improvement.

About You

You will bring:

  • Significant leadership experience within a manufacturing, industrial or production environment
  • A proven track record leading managers, supervisors and multidisciplinary teams
  • Experience building accountability and developing leadership capability across operational teams
  • Strong people management skills, including coaching, mentoring and performance management
  • Exposure to production planning, scheduling and manufacturing operations
  • Commercial acumen with experience managing budgets, operational performance and cost control
  • The ability to navigate complex relationships and influence experienced stakeholders
  • A structured and pragmatic approach to continuous improvement

Industry experience within plastics, packaging, building products, industrial manufacturing, food manufacturing or similar environments will be highly regarded.

Why Join Polyfoam?

  • Established and profitable Queensland operation
  • Genuine leadership opportunity with the ability to influence business performance and leadership capability
  • Strong support from an experienced executive team
  • Opportunity to contribute to the continued growth and success of the business
  • Attractive remuneration package including your choice of a generous vehicle allowance or a company-provided vehicle.
  • Long-term career opportunity within a successful Australian manufacturing group

If you're a people-focused manufacturing leader who understands that operational excellence starts with accountability, capability and strong leadership, we would love to hear from you.

At Chandler Macleod, we are committed to fostering a diverse workforce where everyone is welcome. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, women, neurodiverse, people living with a disability and the LGBTIQA+ community.
