Job Description

“Be the catalyst that drives real change for our planet.”

Samsara Eco has one clear mission: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling. Yes, it’s a mighty mission but it’s something every single one of us here at Samsara Eco is determined to achieve. And it’s what motivates us to dedicate our time and energy to every single day.

Our technology is like our team. One of a kind. And we know that, so while we are creating technology to repair our planet, we’re also building a great place to grow careers. A place where everyone can do the best work of their life, making meaningful impact on our planet and ourselves.

Who We Are…

We’re a biotech innovator with a mission that actually matters. We’re taking the 10 billion tonnes of plastics and textiles wasting away in landfill and recycling it – infinitely – to create a truly circular loop for packaging, clothing, airbags, and everything in between.

It means the brands people love can keep making the products they rely on, without the environmental cost. By using what we already have, we can break the world’s dependence on fossil fuels and leave a liveable planet for the generations coming after us.

This isn’t just a job. This is the work that matters most right now.

**This role is based in Jerrabomberra, on the border of NSW/ACT approx. 30 mins from Canberra CBD**

** All candidates must have a valid visa for Australia – Sponsorship is unavailable for this role **

The Role…

The Production Supervisor is a technical, hands-on leader who runs production alongside the team and stays closely connected to the work on the floor. This role owns the people, performance, systems, compliance, and culture of the production function while remaining an active participant in the work itself.

Reporting to the Director of Site Operations, this role has formal line management responsibility for Production Technicians and works closely with the Senior Production Specialist, who coordinates day-to-day floor execution and acts as the primary technical/production resource. The Production Supervisor is expected to understand the process deeply enough to operate equipment, execute campaigns, and troubleshoot alongside the team.

Together with the Senior Production Specialist, this role sets the standard for safe, capable, and visible leadership. Both roles lead by doing and share accountability for a high-performing production operation.

Key Responsibilities

Lead from the front

  • You won’t just oversee the process – you’ll run it. Leading by doing is how things work here.
  • Coach and develop your team of Chemical Process Technicians across shifts, keeping them focused, supported, and set up to hit their goals.
  • Manage daily task allocation, run tight shift handovers, and chair team meetings that actually land.
  • Bring new team members up to speed on safe work practices, SOPs, and quality protocols – and make sure they feel supported from day one.

Keep things running

  • Monitor the full production process from raw material intake through to crystallisation and final output.
  • Operate and oversee equipment; pumps, valves, reactors, control systems.
  • Adjust parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow rates as needed to stay compliant and productive.
  • Stay on top of inspections and maintenance coordination. Catch problems early and keep downtime to a minimum.

Own safety, quality, and compliance

  • Build and maintain a genuine safety culture. 
  • Keep the team fully compliant with WHS, environmental, and quality standards at all times.
  • Work closely with the Quality & Environmental Manager on systems, controls, and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead incident investigations.
  • Stay on top of documentation.
  • Keep the team and the floor audit-ready, always.

Keep improving

  • Spot opportunities to do things better and get involved in improvement projects
  • Help build a team that takes ownership and isn’t afraid to question how things are done.

Skill & Experience

What You’ll Bring…

  • Real experience in chemical manufacturing or a similar environment, with leadership or shift supervision under your belt.
  • A solid technical foundation in chemical processes, equipment, and instrumentation is a plus.
  • People management skills that go beyond assigning tasks – you can coach, give honest feedback, and bring people with you.
  • Safety is non-negotiable for you. You know WHS regulations and chemical handling inside out.
  • A good eye for quality issues and the discipline to follow through when something’s out of spec.
  • Comfortable reading and working from technical documents: process flow diagrams, SOPs, safety guidelines.
  • You make decisions under pressure and you’re organised enough to stay on top of a moving operation.
  • You communicate clearly – whether you’re briefing a team or escalating a problem.
  • Documentation is something you take seriously, not something you do at the end of the shift.
  • Technical or vocational training in chemical processing or manufacturing is a real plus.
  • Flexible about shift work, including weekends and public holidays.

Not Sure You Tick Every Box?

We’re also building out our technician team, so if you’ve read this and felt something click – even if your experience doesn’t match the brief exactly – we’d still love to hear from you. Tell us what you bring and where you want to go. The right attitude and a willingness to learn will take you a long way here.
