Job description

Senior DfMA / Manufacturing & Supply Chain Lead

We’re looking for a senior manufacturing leader to help take an innovative modular infrastructure design from engineering concept through fabrication and production.

This is not a traditional procurement or supply chain role. We’re looking for someone with deep, hands-on experience in fabrication, modular manufacturing, and production who understands how to turn engineering designs into something a factory can efficiently build.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Review modular designs for manufacturability, assembly, transportation, and installation
• Partner with engineering to improve designs for cost, lead time, and manufacturability
• Develop bottom-up cost estimates for fabricated modules and finished products
• Identify and qualify fabrication partners and equipment suppliers
• Evaluate supplier capabilities, pricing, capacity, and lead times
• Turn engineering documentation into factory-ready fabrication packages
• Develop manufacturing and assembly strategies
• Establish factory testing and QA/QC requirements
• Identify long-lead equipment and supply chain risks

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of manufacturing, fabrication, engineering, or technical supply chain experience
• Hands-on experience within a fabrication shop or manufacturing environment
• Experience with modular buildings, E-houses, skids/skid-mounted systems, prefabricated steel structures, or industrial equipment
• Strong production planning and manufacturing knowledge
• Experience translating engineering designs into buildable products
• Experience identifying and working with fabricators and equipment suppliers
• Understanding of electrical and mechanical equipment integration

Nice to Have

• E-house or modular electrical-room manufacturing
• DfMA / Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and QA/QC
• Engineering or manufacturing degree
• P.Eng.
