Production Manager
Permanent | Full Time
Ready to Lead?
We’re Looking for an A-Grade Production Manager to Help Build Big Things – and Bigger Teams
We don’t just build bridges — we build serious steel, strong communities, and great people.
And right now, we’re looking for a high-performing Production Manager ready to level up and lead.
This isn’t just another workshop job.
This is your chance to take a senior hands-on role, train the next generation, and be part of something big — like 6,600 tonnes of steel big. That’s what we’re delivering for South Australia’s Torrens to Darlington (T2DA) Tunnel Project.
We’ve just installed a 100-tonne crane, we’re bringing in robotic welding systems, and we’re hiring people who want to be part of the future.
