The Opportunity:**
The Production Supervisor owns daily output on the Brisbane production floor. You lead the team that builds Hovermap ST-X and GX1 units, and you are accountable for shipping what we promise, to the quality our clients expect, safely.
We are scaling GX1 production. Speed without discipline cost us before. This role delivers both.
