About You

You are a highly capable technical professional who enjoys leading people and developing high-performing teams. You are confident making decisions, setting priorities and holding people accountable, while maintaining a collaborative and supportive leadership style.

You understand the realities of manufacturing and can balance technical detail, commercial outcomes and team performance.

You will also bring:

Minimum 8-10 years' experience in design, drafting, engineering or architectural metalwork
Previous experience leading, supervising or mentoring technical teams
Strong proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks is preferred)
Extensive experience in sheet metal design and metal fabrication
Strong understanding of design for manufacturability principles
Knowledge of facade, cladding, architectural metalwork or building envelope systems highly regarded
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities
Strong leadership, delegation and coaching skills
Excellent communication and stakeholder management capabilities
Strong commercial awareness and project management experience
High attention to detail and commitment to quality
Practical, hands-on mindset with a focus on continuous improvement

Why Join McKinna Group?

Lead a growing and capable design team
Diverse and technically challenging projects
Modern manufacturing facility with advanced technology
Opportunity to influence systems, processes and team development
Stable Australian manufacturing business with over 70 years of success
Competitive salary package negotiated based on experience
