A global industrial organisation with a significant footprint across Australasia is seeking an experienced Electrical Operations Supervisor to support key customer sites across Queensland.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role best suited to someone who has worked in high-speed beverage, bottling, or alcohol manufacturing environments, with strong exposure to electrical systems, automation, and maintenance leadership. While not a traditional “site supervisor” role, it carries similar responsibility for performance, safety, reliability, and continuous improvement of complex production equipment.

The Opportunity

You will act as the technical lead across assigned customer operations, taking ownership of machine performance, electrical reliability, safety outcomes, and operational efficiency. Working closely with maintenance and production teams, you’ll coach operators, troubleshoot issues, and drive improvements across electrically driven and automated systems.

This role suits someone who enjoys being on the floor, solving problems, leading through influence, and partnering with operations teams to lift performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the electrical and automation lead for assigned production sites
• Support and coach site maintenance and operations teams on machine care, fault-finding, and best practice
• Drive improvements in:
• Electrical reliability and uptime
• Safety and compliance
• Preventative maintenance effectiveness
• Line efficiency and downtime reduction
• Review performance data (downtime, efficiency, faults) and lead RCA and action plans
• Coordinate with internal engineering and project teams on upgrades, changes, and improvements
• Ensure compliance with WHS, food safety (HACCP), GMP, and environmental standards
• Be the escalation point for complex technical issues through to resolution

  
What We’re Looking For

• Electrical background (trade or engineering) with strong industrial manufacturing exposure
• Proven experience in beverage, alcohol bottling, brewing, soft drinks, dairy, or high-speed FMCG
• Strong understanding of:
• Electrical systems
• PLCs / automation
• High-speed packaging or processing equipment
• Experience in a supervisory, lead technician, or senior maintenance role
• Confident communicator who can influence without direct authority
• Comfortable working across multiple sites and engaging with customer operations teams

  
Why This Role

• Senior, autonomous role with real influence over operational performance
• Exposure to complex, high-speed production environments
• Strong safety and continuous improvement culture
• Backed by a large, well-established global organisation
