This isn’t one of them.
We’re seeking an experienced National Engineering Manager to lead a multidisciplinary engineering function and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of an established Australian manufacturing business.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you’ll be responsible for driving engineering strategy, developing team capability, influencing operational performance and supporting the next phase of business growth.
This is an opportunity for an engineering leader who wants more than management responsibility. It’s an opportunity to create lasting impact.

As National Engineering Manager, you will provide leadership across the engineering function, overseeing people, processes, systems and technical capability while supporting the development of innovative products and solutions.
You’ll work closely with executive leadership to identify opportunities for improvement, drive engineering excellence and ensure the business is positioned for long-term success.
This role offers significant autonomy, executive visibility and the ability to influence decisions at both a strategic and operational level.
