Job function: Manufacturing / Operations / Plant and General Management

About Cannaponics

Cannaponics is a vertically integrated Australian medicinal cannabis company. We grow, dry, extract, formulate and manufacture pharmaceutical-grade product across Western Australia — including a 165-acre campus in Collie with a 7,000 m² indoor greenhouse and GMP manufacturing facility, and newly established GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Perth.

We hold the full suite of Office of Drug Control licences covering cultivation, production, manufacture, research, import and export. Our sites are built to GACP and GMP standards, with the pathway to EU GMP for regulated export markets. Our model is not commodity flower. We turn biomass into finished medicines — oils, extracts, live rosin, vapes, topicals and other dosage forms — for Australian patients and international B2B partners.

Collie is operational and first product is moving. Perth is the new pharmaceutical manufacturing base. The next phase is scale: production, quality systems, export readiness and a premium branded range. This role owns that manufacturing engine across both sites.

The role

You will lead end-to-end GMP manufacturing at our newly established Perth pharmaceutical facilities and manage the pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Collie. You own throughput, yield, cost, licence conditions and audit readiness across both sites.

You will not report to the CEO or Managing Director in the day-to-day running of this role. You will work alongside our General Manager, Compliance and Quality Control. That GM will support you on quality systems, inspections, batch release and licence conditions so manufacturing and compliance stay locked together.

You build the teams and the systems that take Cannaponics from early commercial output to consistent pharmaceutical-grade production at scale.
