Production Manager – Clontarf, QLD
Full Time | Competitive Salary | Career Growth | National Business
Do you have a background in manufacturing and want to make a difference in an environment that encourages initiative and contiunous improvement?
About CMTP
CMTP is Australia’s leading and most respected timber and packaging manufacturer. We have been a proud family-owned business since 1976, and today we operate across 12 sites nationally, delivering timber and packaging solutions to some of the biggest names in the country.
We’ve recently acquired a new manufacturing site in Clontarf, QLD, and we’re looking for a hands-on Production Manager to help lead the team, roll out our systems and culture, drive performance, and help develop the next generation of CMTP leaders.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operations and overall performance of the site. That includes:
Leading, coaching, and mentoring a production team of both permanent and casual staff.
Ensuring safety, quality and productivity targets are not only met — but improved.
Driving process improvements and reducing downtime through smart, efficient planning.
Supporting the installation of new equipment and implementing best-practice systems.
Being hands-on, visible on the floor and leading by example.
Working with senior management to set targets and deliver real results.
What We’re Looking For
Proven leadership in a manufacturing or production environment (timber knowledge a bonus).
A calm, capable operator who thrives in change and gets things done.
Someone who embraces challenges and backs themselves to solve problems.
Great with people — you build trust, set high standards, and help others grow.
Mechanically minded, computer literate and always willing to learn.
Strong understanding of safety systems, SOPs and risk assessments.
Most importantly — someone who doesn’t sit back and watch but gets stuck in and leads from the front.
Our Leadership Core Values – We Live Them, Every Day
At CMTP, we don’t just display our values - we live and reward them.
We are givers, not takers – We support each other and pull our weight.
We make it happen, no excuses – We own the outcome and find a way.
We are leaders, not followers – We set the pace and drive improvement.
Down to earth – We’re straight up, honest and respectful.
We care, share and have fun – We look out for each other and enjoy the ride.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely fits this culture — not just someone looking for another job.
Why Join CMTP?
Be part of a high-performing national business with strong values and a clear purpose.
Take ownership of a site with massive opportunity for growth and impact.
Competitive salary based on experience.
Long-term career path and internal promotions across 12 Australian sites.
Great people, great equipment, and a no-nonsense culture that gets results.
Regular BBQs, team events, and a company that believes in working hard and enjoying it.
