Smith & Co Recruitment • Brisbane, QLD, AU
6 days ago
Job description
  • Day shift, no weekends, overtime available + long-term stability
  • Step into supervision without having to directly manage a team
  • Spend 70% of your week on the tools across an automated factory

About the Role
We are partnering with one of Queensland’s largest and longest-established manufacturers to recruit an experienced Maintenance Supervisor for its highly automated production facility in Banyo.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Fitter who wants to step into a Supervisor-level position without moving away from the tools or taking on direct people management.

You’ll spend approximately 70% of your time hands-on, maintaining, servicing and troubleshooting plant and machinery, while also taking ownership of preventative maintenance schedules, breakdown response, maintenance records, critical spares and equipment improvement projects.

Reporting directly to the Head of Operations, you’ll become the go-to person for maintenance across the factory and work closely with production teams, suppliers and external contractors to keep the facility operating reliably.

Key Responsibilities

  • Service, maintain and troubleshoot automated manufacturing plant and equipment.
  • Own preventative maintenance schedules and minimise unplanned downtime.
  • Coordinate breakdown response and investigate recurring equipment faults.
  • Maintain service records, SOPs, work orders, asset data and critical spares.
  • Support equipment installations, commissioning, upgrades and improvements.

What You’ll Bring

  • Mechanical/Maintenance Fitter trade qualification with 5+ years in manufacturing.
  • Strong fault-finding and hands-on plant maintenance experience.
  • Exposure to CNC, machining, welding or powder coating equipment desirable.
  • Pneumatics, PLC experience or a Restricted Electrical Licence advantageous.
  • Ability to independently prioritise maintenance and communicate across teams.

Salary & Benefits

  • $60–$65 per hour + penalties
  • Permanent full-time opportunity
  • Day shift with consistent working hours
  • Overtime available with limited weekend work
  • Approximately 70% hands-on / on the tools
  • Supervisor-level ownership with no direct reports
  • Take responsibility for maintenance across the entire factory
  • Highly automated, world-class manufacturing environment
  • Stable business with more than 40 years of manufacturing history

Apply Now
If you're an experienced Maintenance Fitter who enjoys being on the tools but is ready for greater responsibility, this is an opportunity to take the next step without giving up the hands-on work you enjoy.
