The role

The Workshop Supervisor at AspiraDAC will spearhead crucial technical trade work, focusing on the construction of both prototype and actual modular DAC systems for CO2 extraction. This initially standalone role will be pivotal in ensuring the smooth operation of our new warehouse, from the efficient movement of goods to maintaining optimal stock levels and upholding a clean, safe, and secure environment.

The Workshop Supervisor will be hands-on in the procurement, manufacture, assembly, testing, and installation of required modules and products. They will be a problem-solver, driving solutions to overcome mechanical design, manufacturing, or production challenges, and will play a key role in developing plans for large-scale manufacture of the modules.

The Workshop Supervisor will also manage all workshop functions, including setup and tooling, parts coating, welding, fault finding and rectification, and general assembly. They will be responsible for inventory management, tracking incoming and outgoing goods, organising storage, and reporting on inventory levels.

Ensuring the warehouse is safe and secure for all employees and visitors, the Workshop Supervisor will adhere to our Quality, WHS, and Environmental systems policies and procedures. They will also oversee the maintenance of machinery, equipment, and other business assets to ensure continuous and efficient operation.

Furthermore, the Workshop Supervisor will be expected to provide outstanding service both internally and externally. Building close working relationships with AspiraDAC’s CEO, Mechanical Design Engineer, and Senior Project Engineer, as AspiraDAC grows, the role will extend to employee and contractor supervision and development. 

Receiving significant industry experience and professional development, the successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring all business and safety processes and policies are followed, encouraged to suggest new policies or procedures, and provide ad hoc support as required.

AspiraDAC is a flexible and progressive employer. The role will be based at our new Revesby workshop with some Sydney-based requirements from time to time including to our head office in the Sydney CBD.
