Lead the Future of Print Manufacturing

Fast Track Packaging is on the move. We're a fast-growing leader in digital can decoration and manufacturing, and we're looking for an experienced Operations & Plant Manager to take the reins of our high-performing team. With state-of-the-art technology, a strong market presence, and big growth plans ahead, this is a senior leadership role that’s built for someone who’s ready to make a major impact.

You’ll oversee operations at our flagship Canadian facility and help shape the future of a growing U.S. satellite plant. If you thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and know how to lead people, drive performance, and think strategically, this is your moment.

Why This Role is Worth Your Attention

• Serious Compensation: We know the value of top-tier talent, and we’re prepared to make this worth your while.

• Multi-Site Leadership: Two fully operational plants under your leadership, with more growth on the horizon.

• The Best Tech in the Business: Work with cutting-edge equipment like Velox and Hinterkopf digital presses, high-speed sleeving lines, and a fully integrated supply chain.

• Strategic Role with Impact: You’ll step in as a senior leader, shaping long-term operations as a key member of our management team.

• Supportive, Entrepreneurial Culture: We back our people, move fast, and value innovation and ownership.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Run the day-to-day operations of a high-output digital print facility in Canada, while also overseeing our U.S. satellite site.

• Lead cross-functional teams in production, maintenance, logistics, quality control, and health & safety.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to boost productivity, efficiency, and team performance.

• Partner with ownership and senior leadership to deliver on growth plans, tech upgrades, and new process rollouts.

• Build a culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and pride in quality.

• Ensure every job meets customer deadlines, specs, and expectations.

What You Bring to the Table

• You’ve led operations in print, packaging, or graphics, and you know what it takes to run a busy plant.

• You’ve managed large teams, rolled out improvements, and hit big goals in a manufacturing environment.

• You understand digital print technology and lean manufacturing, and you know how to spot inefficiencies and fix them.

• You lead from the front — hands-on, motivated, and always pushing for better.

• You're comfortable managing multiple locations and willing to travel when needed.

Ready to Make Your Mark?

This isn’t just another leadership role — it’s your chance to take ownership of a growing, innovative operation and play a key part in shaping its future.

If you’re ready to bring your experience, leadership, and vision to the table, we want to hear from you.
