Production & Warehouse Supervisor

Are you a hands-on leader passionate about driving production excellence while building a safety-first, continuously improving manufacturing environment? Then join us in our mission to pioneer smarter solutions for moving and transforming water, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing quality of life for people.

As our new Production & Warehouse Supervisor, you will be directing and coordinating production, warehouse, and support operations to deliver quality products at optimal cost — while developing your team and stepping up as the primary backup for the Production & Warehouse Manager. 

As a key part of the Grundfos Pumps Australia (GPA) & New Zealand (GNZ) Assembly & Warehouse Operations team, you'll create impact by Leading a multi-skilled workforce to achieve operational excellence across safety, quality, delivery, and continuous improvement while shaping a culture of zero harm and employee engagement.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Direct daily production, inbound, outbound, and material line feeding operations, driving improvements in productivity, quality, and inventory accuracy
• Champion a zero-harm, safety-first culture by positively influencing team behaviors and maintaining compliance with regulatory, legal, and ISO quality standards
• Develop and coach a multi-skilled, flexible workforce through structured training, shift planning, and performance management to maximize resource utilization
• Define strategy and deliver on SQDICP targets — safety, quality, delivery, continuous improvement, conversion costs, and budget — across production and warehouse
• Drive continuous improvement and zero-defect initiatives through employee engagement, 5S leadership, and Lean methodologies
• Act as designated backup for the GPA/GNZ Production & Warehouse Manager, providing leadership oversight, managing escalations, and sustaining operational continuity

Above all, you are a proactive manufacturing leader with strong people management skills, Lean mindset, and the operational breadth to oversee both production and warehouse functions in a fast-paced environment. We would also imagine that you have:

• Bachelor's Degree in mechatronics, mechanical, or electronics engineering — or 8-10 years equivalent experience in manufacturing, supply chain, or logistics
• Proven frontline team management experience in a production or warehouse environment
• Proficiency in SAP and warehouse management systems (WMS)
• Working knowledge of Lean manufacturing, ISO quality systems, and safety management

It is a plus if you also:

• Product knowledge of the Grundfos range or similar pump/flow technology products
• Experience leading continuous improvement projects and driving cultural change
• Familiarity with direct labor cost calculation and budget management

We care! Day to day, you can look forward to:

• A working environment built around your needs.
• Annual bonus and a strong focus on well-being activities.
• Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering in your community.
• Access to on-demand training and learning sessions and carefully structured programmes to pursue personal and professional development opportunities.
