We’re looking for an experienced Assistant Factory Manager to support the day-to-day management and delivery of our factory operations. This role is suited to a technically strong and solutions-oriented individual with hands-on experience in carpentry, joinery, and fabrication, who can effectively coordinate production, materials, technical requirements, and quality standards. Working closely with the Factory Director and production teams, you will play a key role in driving productivity, resolving challenges, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the required standards.
What you’ll be doing:
Production Planning, Progress Tracking and Reporting

- Weekly Coordination: Conduct regular progress meetings with the Production Coordinator and Carpenter Leads to review targets, address challenges, and align on priorities.
- Management Reporting: Prepare and submit weekly production reports to the Factory Director, highlighting progress, key performance indicators, outstanding issues, and potential risks.
Document Control and Technical Revisioning
- Drawing Management: Review, organize, index, and maintain proper version control of all incoming construction and production drawings, ensuring both digital and physical records are accurately maintained.
- Drawing Distribution: Ensure the latest approved drawings and revisions are communicated and distributed promptly to the respective Carpenter Leads and production teams to minimize errors and rework.
- Cost Monitoring: Identify drawing revisions that may affect material requirements, or labor hours, and highlight such changes to the Factory Director for commercial review and cost tracking.
Material Procurement and Inventory Monitoring
- PR Verification: Check all procurement requests against project material specifications to ensure technical accuracy and minimal material wastage.
- Procurement Execution: Handle the procurement of raw materials, hardware, fittings, and other specialized items required for production, ensuring materials are available in line with project schedules.
- Long-Lead Monitoring: Track long-lead and critical materials from order through delivery, escalating potential delays early to prevent disruption to production and assembly schedules.
Technical Expertise and Production Support
- Technical Guidance: Provide technical guidance and practical expertise in carpentry, joinery, and custom fittings. Support production teams in resolving technical and fabrication-related challenges.
- Quality Assurance: Ensure all construction elements meet high aesthetic standards and structural requirements.
- Problem Solving: Address construction challenges by providing creative and practical solutions for complex designs.
People and Factory Operations
- Team Supervision: Provide day-to-day supervision and direction to Carpenter Leads and production personnel, ensuring teams are aligned with production priorities, project requirements, and quality expectations.
- Productivity and Performance: Monitor team productivity and work progress against planned targets. Identify performance gaps and work with the relevant team leads to implement improvements.
- Work Allocation & Coordination: Coordinate the allocation of production tasks and ensure clear communication between Carpenter Leads, production personnel, and other relevant teams to maintain an efficient workflow.
- Discipline & Workplace Standards: Support the Factory Director in maintaining appropriate workplace discipline, attendance, housekeeping, and adherence to company policies and operational procedures.
- Factory Housekeeping: Ensure production areas, workstations, tools, and materials are properly organized and maintained to promote a safe, efficient, and productive working environment.
- Operational Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve production processes, workflow efficiency, manpower utilization, and overall factory productivity.
Administrative and Safety Compliance
- Safety Documentation: Prepare and submit the required administrative and safety documentation, including worker name list, Risk Assessments, Safe Work Procedures (SWPs) and Method Statements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Assist the Factory Director in ensuring factory operations comply with applicable Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) regulations, statutory requirements, and company safety policies.
