About us

Dunlop Foams is a leading supplier of industrial and consumer foam solutions across Australia and New Zealand. We combine advanced technology, quality materials and manufacturing expertise to deliver innovative foam solutions across a diverse range of industries.

Our products are used in bedding, furniture, healthcare, sports, packaging, transport and cleaning, as well as a wide range of custom-made applications.

As part of The Comfort Group, a proud family-owned business with more than 90 years of experience, we continue to invest in our people, products and operations. Our commitment to innovation and quality has helped us build strong, long-standing relationships with retail, commercial and export customers.

At Dunlop Foams, you’ll be joining an established business with a strong reputation, a focus on continuous improvement and a commitment to its people.

About the role

Lead. Improve. Deliver.

We are seeking an experienced Production Manager – Foam Production & Conversion to lead the end-to-end operational performance of our Foam Division at Heathwood. Reporting to the Site Leader – Operations and working closely with the Group Foams Manager, you will lead the foam division from production planning and raw material requirements through to finished product and on-time delivery.

Our Foam Division is a customer-focused, custom manufacturing operation, where product specifications, volumes and priorities can vary. The successful candidate will bring experience in custom, high-mix, make-to-order or customer-driven manufacturing, with the ability to balance customer requirements, capacity, quality, cost and short lead times.

You will lead multiple production work centres and optimise labour, equipment, workflow and capacity to deliver strong outcomes across Safety, Quality, DIFOT, Productivity, Cost and Customer Service.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end foam production and conversion operation, ensuring safe, reliable and efficient performance
Optimise labour, machinery, equipment and workflow across multiple work centres
Plan and schedule production to meet customer requirements, including short lead-time and next-day delivery commitments
Manage production performance against DIFOT, productivity, quality and cost targets
Maintain strong process control throughout foam manufacturing, including formulations, chemical streams, processing parameters, yields, and physical properties
Oversee foam conversion activities to ensure product specifications and customer requirements are consistently achieved
Coordinate production priorities to maximise throughput and minimise downtime, waste and bottlenecks
Work collaboratively with Planning, Sales, Customer Service, Dispatch, Maintenance, R&D, Technical Services and Material Handling teams
Monitor production output, yields, scrap, material usage, chemical costs and labour efficiency
Manage labour costs and overtime against budget and deliver operational cost-saving initiatives
Ensure plant, machinery and equipment are maintained in a safe, clean and operationally effective condition
Drive continuous improvement using Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma and other improvement methodologies
Support NPD trials, new technologies, capital projects and operational transformation initiatives
Build a strong culture of safety, quality, accountability and continuous improvement

About you

We are looking for a hands-on, commercially minded manufacturing leader with experience operating in a custom, high-mix, or make-to-order manufacturing environment. You will understand how to keep customers at the centre of operational decision-making without compromising safety, quality, productivity or cost.

You will bring:

Demonstrated experience managing complex manufacturing operations across multiple work centres
Experience managing multiple production work centres and coordinated manufacturing flows
Proven ability to optimise labour, equipment, capacity and workflow to maximise throughput and customer service
Experience operating within high-service-level, short-lead-time or just-in-time manufacturing environments
Strong understanding of production planning, scheduling, process control and operational cost management
Demonstrated success leading manufacturing teams through growth, capacity expansion, transformation or continuous improvement
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to use production data to identify issues and drive improvement
Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma or other continuous improvement methodologies
Strong safety, quality and compliance leadership
Excellent communication, stakeholder management and people leadership skills
Experience managing diverse teams within a complex industrial relations environment
A tertiary qualification in Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations Management or a related discipline is preferred
Strong people leadership, coaching and performance management skills
A proactive approach to safety, quality, reliability and operational discipline

Experience in foam processing, conversion, fabrication, plastics, textiles, furniture, bedding or engineered products will be highly regarded, particularly where production is driven by individual customer requirements rather than a fixed, repetitive production schedule.

Why Join The Comfort Group?

You’ll join a business with a proud heritage, a strong reputation, and continued investment in its people, products, and manufacturing capabilities.

You will have the opportunity to:

Lead a critical Industrial manufacturing function
Influence production strategy, capacity and operational performance
Work in a genuinely customer-driven manufacturing environment
Drive measurable improvements across service, productivity, quality and cost
Develop and lead a capable and engaged operational team
Lead continuous improvement, capital and transformation initiatives
Work collaboratively across a broader manufacturing network

If you are an experienced manufacturing leader who enjoys solving complex operational challenges, developing people and delivering continuous improvement, we would like to hear from you.

We look forward to hearing from you.
