About MSCP

MSCP Heat Management Solutions, a rapidly expanding manufacturing has built the organization as a system of interdependent processes and not as a traditional hierarchy. Estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution operate as a connected entity, each contributing to the overall flow of work.

Our focus is not on maximizing efficiency; we focus on managing our chosen constraints and improving total system throughput. This requires a shared conceptual foundation grounded in systems thinking, Theory of Constraints, and practical application in industrial environments.

Engineering at MSCP does not exist as a standalone function. It exists to enable flow- to ensure that what is designed can be estimated, built, installed, and maintained without friction.

Our work spans different industrial sectors, including oil & gas, where electrical reliability, constructability, and repeatability are critical. Strong theoretical understanding is valued as it leads to clear, executable, and scalable solutions.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with three to five years of relevant experience to develop , implement, commercialize and improve the processes used to manufacture sheet-metal electrical enclosure. You will combine practical mechanical design knowledge with hands-on production experience to turn product designs into safe, efficient and repeatable manufacturing methods.

This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in advancing the company's manufacturing capabilities. Working with engineering and production leadership, you will lead defined improvement projects and help shape process standardization, tooling, equipment proposals, production layouts and manufacturability reviews. Your work will directly support better quality, productivity and capacity as the business grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Own assigned manufacturing process improvements from initial assessment and documentation through trials, implementation and verification for cutting, punching, bending, welding, finishing and mechanical assembly.
• Develop production routings, process sequences, setup requirements, standard work and inspection checkpoints; maintain these documents as products and manufacturing methods change.
• Conduct manufacturing-readiness reviews with design, production and quality teams before production release, addressing tooling, tolerances, bend and assembly sequences, weld access and inspection requirements.
• Apply mechanical design knowledge to improve manufacturability and standardize parts, features and fabrication methods across cabinet sizes and configurations while preserving product requirements.
• Design jigs, fixtures, gauges, welding aids and assembly tooling in SolidWorks; prepare fabrication drawings and validate tooling through shop trials for accuracy, repeatability, usability and safe operation.
• Provide hands-on production troubleshooting for sheet-metal equipment and processes, including dimensional variation, bend accuracy, weld distortion, fit-up and cabinet assembly.
• Lead root-cause investigations into defects, scrap and rework; implement corrective actions, verify effectiveness and incorporate lessons into designs, tooling and standard work.
• Work with quality and design teams to establish process controls
• Develop workstation and equipment layouts, improve material flow and assess capacity and bottlenecks using time studies and production observations; address handling and ergonomic concerns.
• Establish baseline cycle times, labour hours, scrap, rework and first-pass acceptance; prioritize improvement projects with leadership and report verified quality, throughput and cost results.
• Support first-article builds, production launches, equipment selection and commissioning; prepare technical requirements and improvement proposals, and confirm process readiness before wider use.
• Work directly with operators and supervisors to trial changes, gather feedback, train users and sustain improvements; coordinate production-release drawings, tooling documentation and engineering changes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering. Industrial Engineering graduates with strong mechanical design and fabrication experience will also be considered.
• Three to five years of experience in manufacturing, process or production engineering within sheet-metal fabrication or equipment manufacturing, including direct exposure to sheet-metal production.
• Basic knowledge of laser cutting, punching, press-brake bending, welding and mechanical assembly, with hands-on experience troubleshooting production issues.
• Experience developing and implementing manufacturing processes, production sequences, work instructions and workstation or equipment layouts.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks modelling and detailing for sheet-metal parts, assemblies and production tooling, with the mechanical design knowledge to assess manufacturability.
• Experience designing and implementing jigs and fixtures, including fabrication support and shop trials.
• Ability to prepare and interpret production-release and fabrication/detail drawings, including IFC documentation where applicable, dimensions, tolerances, weld symbols and bills of materials.
• Practical experience applying standard work, process improvement, structured root-cause analysis and corrective-action methods.
• Demonstrated examples of implemented improvements that reduced defects, rework, cycle time, labour hours or material handling.
• Ability to analyze production data and communicate practical recommendations; strong collaboration skills with operators, trades, supervisors and engineering teams.
• Ability to work regularly in an active fabrication environment and follow applicable safety requirements.

Assets

• Master's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience manufacturing or designing electrical enclosures, control cabinets or similar sheet-metal products.
• Knowledge of cabinet sealing, gasketing, hinges, latches, ventilation and relevant NEMA, UL or CSA enclosure requirements.
• Experience with coating, painting or other finishing processes and protection of finished components.
• Experience with ERP/MRP production routings, manufacturing data, nesting/CAM or CNC programming software.
• Experience with process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA), control plans, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, or tolerance-stack analysis.
• Lean or Six Sigma certification, or experience with value-stream mapping, 5S and changeover reduction.

Working Conditions

The role includes regular work in an active machine-shop and sheet-metal fabrication environment in addition to office-based design work. Appropriate personal protective equipment and compliance with all shop safety requirements will be required.
