Aglime Fertilisers is a quality-focussed agricultural lime fertiliser company on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales. We are 100% Australian owned and operated, and we have been a part of the community since 1938

We are looking for an experienced Manufacturing Supervisor to lead our small production team who pulverise, screen and bag limestone products

This is a genuinely hands-on factory-floor role. You will spend most of your day working alongside the team — operating plant and equipment, bagging product, solving problems and keeping production moving — while also planning and allocating work, supervising the team throughout the day and ensuring jobs are followed through.

The role includes:

  • Planning daily production and work activities and allocating work across the team
  • Working hands-on alongside the production team
  • Supervising and following up work throughout the day
  • Operating plant, forklifts and front-end loaders
  • Coordinating and participating in plant and equipment maintenance
  • Maintaining strong WHS, housekeeping and quality/FAMI-QS standards
  • Reviewing production, output and downtime and identifying opportunities to improve productivity, quality, safety and plant reliability
  • Developing teamwork, accountability and capability within a small, experienced workforce
  • Working closely with the General Manager on production and operational priorities

About you

We are looking for someone who has previously supervised a blue-collar manufacturing or industrial team. This is not intended as a first supervisory appointment.

You will be a calm, practical leader who is comfortable giving clear direction and following things through, while working shoulder-to-shoulder with the people you supervise. You will enjoy factory-floor work and have good mechanical aptitude, organisation and problem-solving skills.

You will also need:

  • Previous hands-on manufacturing, processing, quarrying or comparable industrial experience
  • Current forklift licence and competency
  • Front-end loader competency
  • Good reading, writing and numeracy skills
  • Strong WHS awareness
  • The physical capacity and willingness to undertake production and bagging work
  • A current Australian driver’s licence
  • Experience with production records and basic analysis, plant maintenance, welding/fabrication and quality systems such as FAMI-QS, HACCP or ISO would be well regarded.

Aglime is a small business, so we are looking for somebody practical and resourceful who enjoys being close to the work rather than relying on large-company departments and resources. See our on youtube  https://youtu.be/ID4AkUGYeyI

This is an opportunity for an experienced hands-on supervisor to take real responsibility for the day-to-day performance of a small manufacturing operation and make a visible difference.

Local applicants are strongly encouraged. A sustainable daily commute to Marulan is important.
