Job description

This is an opportunity to join an established Australian manufacturer at an exciting stage of development, working within a growing engineering and manufacturing excellence function. You’ll have exposure across the full product introduction journey while working closely with technical and operational teams to solve problems, improve processes and ensure products are genuinely ready for manufacture.

Location: South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne

Fixed term contract: 24 months

About the role

Reporting into a senior engineering and manufacturing leader, you’ll coordinate the introduction and transfer of new and existing products into manufacturing, from initial assessment and planning through trials, first manufacture and stable operational handover.

Sitting between product development and the factory, you’ll work across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Validation, Supply and other technical functions to ensure products, processes and operations are aligned before manufacture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinate new product introductions, product transfers and manufacturing-readiness activities.
  • Drive cross functional project plans, actions, timelines and accountability.
  • Facilitate stage gate reviews and ensure risks or readiness gaps are identified early.
  • Coordinate manufacturing trials, first batches and post-launch stabilisation.
  • Work with technical and operational teams to assess manufacturability and production capability.
  • Track transfer performance and support structured problem solving and CI initiatives.
  • Build effective relationships across technical, quality and manufacturing teams and influence without direct authority.
