Climb Higher
Build Something That Matters
At Vexta, we design and manufacture access technology that keeps people safe when they work at height. Ladders, platforms, mobile scaffolds, custom climbing systems — every product we ship carries a simple promise: stability when it counts. That promise depends entirely on the people behind it. We are a team of engineers, fabricators, quality specialists and problem-solvers who care about precision, take safety personally and enjoy the challenge of making difficult work easier. If you want your work to have a visible outcome, if you believe good design saves lives, and if you are looking for a place where craftsmanship still matters, we would like to meet you. Explore our open roles below. If nothing fits today, we still welcome speculative applications — tell us what you bring, and we will keep you in mind.
About the Role
We are seeking a Production Supervisor to lead our metal fabrication team and ensure that every component and finished product meets our standards for quality, safety and delivery. You will oversee daily operations in welding, cutting, bending and assembly, manage a team of skilled operators, and work closely with engineering and quality to resolve production issues before they become problems. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will spend time on the floor, not just in the office. The ideal candidate understands metal fabrication from the inside out, knows how to motivate a team and takes genuine pride in seeing good work leave the workshop.
Key Responsibilities
-
Supervise daily operations in the metal fabrication area, including cutting, bending, welding, drilling and assembly of aluminium and steel components.
-
Plan and allocate work across the team to meet production schedules and customer deadlines.
-
Ensure that all work meets technical specifications, quality standards and safety requirements.
-
Monitor productivity, identify bottlenecks and implement practical improvements to workflow and efficiency.
-
Train, coach and support production staff, promoting a culture of care, precision and accountability.
-
Conduct regular inspections and coordinate with the quality team on non-conformance issues.
-
Maintain accurate production records, including output data, material usage and downtime reports.
-
Enforce health and safety rules rigorously, leading by example and addressing unsafe behaviour immediately.
-
Collaborate with engineering on design-for-manufacturability feedback and process improvements.
-
Manage material availability in coordination with purchasing and warehouse teams.
-
Support continuous improvement initiatives, including lean methods, waste reduction and workspace organisation.
Requirements
-
Technical qualification in metalworking, fabrication, welding or a related trade.
-
At least four years of experience in metal fabrication, with at least two years in a supervisory or team leader role.
-
Strong practical knowledge of aluminium and steel fabrication processes, including welding, cutting, bending and surface treatment.
-
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications accurately.
-
Experience with quality control in a manufacturing environment.
-
Proven ability to lead, motivate and develop a team.
-
Solid understanding of health and safety requirements in a workshop setting.
-
Good communication skills in English; additional languages are an advantage.
-
A hands-on, solution-oriented attitude and the willingness to step in and work alongside the team when needed.
What We Offer
-
A leadership role in a growing production environment.
-
The opportunity to work on products that must perform safely in real-world conditions.
-
A stable, long-term position with competitive pay and benefits.
-
Training and development support for both technical and leadership skills.

A team culture that values practical skill, honesty and mutual respect.
