About Us
PERMApole is a long-standing supplier of treated pine timber solutions, proudly operating from our Cardup facility in Western Australia. With decades of experience and a reputation for quality, environmental responsibility, and practical service, PERMApole has remained a reliable industry player — but we’re ready to do more.

As we prepare for a new chapter of growth and innovation, we are seeking a hands-on Production Manager to lead operations, drive strategy, and reinvigorate the way we do business.

About the Role
This is a leadership role with real impact. As Production Manager, you will take full ownership of day-to-day operations while playing a key role in shaping the future of the business. You’ll manage production, maintenance, logistics, and compliance — but more importantly, you’ll be central to reviving the culture, exploring new opportunities, and bringing a fresh approach to an established operation.

We’re looking for someone who’s just as comfortable on the ground as they are in planning meetings. You’ll lead a practical, skilled team and have the autonomy to influence systems, improve workflows, and help PERMApole expand into its next phase.
