Description
About the Role
Citra is a rapidly expanding, vertically integrated housing company transforming the residential real estate landscape. Leveraging our proprietary technology and integrated teams in construction, property development, design, and engineering, we are disrupting the housing market across Cape Town, Switzerland, and Austin, Texas.
At Citra, we aren't just making panels; we are building the future of efficient construction. As our Factory Manager, you will be the heartbeat of our production facility. We are looking for a hands-on leader with a strong mechanical engineering background who can optimize workflows, ensure uncompromising quality, and lead a multi-disciplinary team using a philosophy of empowerment and accountability.
In this role, you will oversee our end-to-end manufacturing process - from the precision CNC cutting of EPS to the casting of concrete webs and the final assembly of our specialized panels.
Key Responsibilities
1. Operational Excellence & Production Planning
Lead and manage daily factory operations, ensuring production targets are met on time and within budget.
Optimize the workflow between the CNC cutting, concrete casting station, and final assembly.
Implement Lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste and improve throughput.
2. Technical Oversight & Maintenance
Oversee the calibration, operation, and maintenance of CNC machinery and concrete processing equipment.
Troubleshoot mechanical issues and coordinate repairs to minimize downtime.
Ensure the structural integrity and specification adherence of all composite panels.
3. Team Leadership & Development
Manage a diverse workforce of foremen, technicians, engineers, machine operators, and assembly workers.
Identify skill gaps and coordinate training for CNC operation, safety, and specialized casting techniques.
4. Quality Control & Safety
Maintain rigorous quality standards for EPS density, concrete strength, and assembly tolerances.
Uphold a "Safety First" culture, ensuring all OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) protocols are strictly followed.
Conduct regular audits of the facility and equipment.
5. Supply Chain & Inventory
Manage inventory levels for raw materials (EPS beads/blocks, cement, additives, steel).
Coordinate with procurement to ensure a steady flow of materials to prevent production bottlenecks.
Candidate Requirements
Education: National Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineer or a related technical field.
Experience: 5+ years in a manufacturing environment, with at least 3 years in a supervisory or management role.
Technical Skills : Proficiency in CNC programming and operation.
An Advantage : Knowledge of concrete casting/curing processes, or experience in composite material assembly/general construction manufacturing.
Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, excellent communication, and a "firm but fair" leadership style.
Why Join Citra?
You will have the autonomy to shape the factory's culture and the technical challenge of
managing a truly unique manufacturing blend of chemicals, mechanics, and materials
engineering. If you are ready to help build the future of construction, we want to hear from
you!
