Who we need

We are looking for a Production Supervisor to join our evening shift team. Reporting to the Plant Manager, this is an opportunity to apply your leadership in assembly and production operations to a space where every project matters. You will manage day‑to‑day production operations by following plant policies, procedures, and processes and inspire and guide the work of a team.

This is a full‑time role, working Monday to Thursday with a 4:30 PM start (10‑hour shifts) and Fridays from 2:00–8:00 PM.

What’s in it for you

Strategic impact. In this role, your leadership directly influences safety, quality, delivery, and cost targets. You’ll be the bridge between strategy and execution – making decisions, solving problems, and ensuring assembly operations run smoothly and efficiently. Your contribution will drive measurable results and strengthen overall performance across the organization.

Healthier balance. During slower manufacturing period, you’ll have the space to think, plan, and build rather than operate in constant firefighting mode. About 60‑70% of your time will be dedicated to process improvement, giving you room to innovate, streamline, and make meaningful, lasting impact.

Supportive Leadership. You’ll be working under a leader known for developing his team, promoting from within, and empowering people to grow. The coaching style is supportive, hands‑on when needed, and focused on helping you succeed.

You will:

• Lead a large team. You will oversee Line Leaders and Coordinator, with direct responsibility for approximately 40+ full‑time employees. Depending on seasonality, your total team may grow to 100–120. You will mentor and train teammates, deliver meaningful performance reviews that accelerate professional growth, and ensure that health and safety standards are always met.
• Execute assembly operations. You will ensure all assembly work is completed on time, with the highest standards of safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDMS). You will establish standard work procedures and task matrices, schedule team members and equipment, and make recommendations for labour requirements based on forecasted and scheduled demand.
• Collaborate across functions. You will work closely with supervisors and other cross‑functional departments, ensuring alignment and seamless operations. You will also partner with health and safety committees to implement improvement initiatives.
• Balance floor leadership and projects. You will spend approximately 75% of your time on the production floor, with 25% dedicated to project work, approvals, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Drive continuous improvement. You will apply Lean and Six Sigma principles to identify opportunities to reduce process variation, improve process capabilities, and optimise performance. You will engage the team to suggest and implement improvements in productivity, quality, and efficiency.
• Ensure optimal performance. You will monitor equipment and initiate appropriate action with supporting teams, departments, and vendors to ensure availability and optimised performance.

You bring:

• The experience. You bring operations leadership, ideally in a manufacturing or assembly environment. You have supervisory experience managing large teams and understand core manufacturing principles, including metrics management, capacity planning, financial budgeting, labour planning, scheduling, material flow, inventory management, lead time, and waste reduction. You are familiar with health and safety regulations.
• The technical knowledge. You may have exposure to Lean Six Sigma methodologies and an understanding of mechanics. The ability to interpret technical drawings is considered a strong asset.
• The leadership. You have the confidence to make thoughtful decisions and the ability to build trust with labourers, peers, and senior leadership. You can influence and motivate a team, mentor future leaders, and consistently deliver on KPIs.
• The collaboration. You bring strong persuasion and relationship‑building skills. You know how to partner with cross‑functional teams and management to ensure shared goals are met.
• The flexibility. You are comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment with seasonal demands and occasional night shifts during peak production times.

What you can expect from the interview process

• A virtual interview with a Talent Advisor discussing your interest in the role and your experience. The conversation will be recorded using BrightHire, an AI‑powered video interview tool. More details will be shared when you are invited to interview.
• An interview with the Hiring Manager. This will be a chance to share your experience and knowledge and learn about the team and the production processes.
• An interview with the VP for Commercial Operations and representative from HR. This will be a chance to ask questions about the team, the company, and growth opportunities.
