Headquartered in Calgary, AB, DHC currently has approximately 1,400 employees across British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, as well as in markets and distribution hubs world-wide.

Established in 1928, De Havilland Canada has a rich history marked by the development of some of the most iconic and versatile aircraft ever built. These aircraft have served a variety of roles—from bush flying to commercial aviation—and are celebrated for their rugged durability, operational versatility, and excellence in performance.

Over the decades, De Havilland Canada has evolved to meet the changing needs of the aviation industry.

Our operations are supported by a team of skilled engineers, technicians, and industry professionals who are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship and innovation.

We are seeking a Supply Chain Project Manager to lead supplier readiness efforts for new product introductions (NPI).

  • Ensure suppliers meet contractual obligations, quality standards, and readiness requirements.
  • Monitor project status and escalate risks or issues as necessary.
  • Facilitate resolution of technical, supply chain, and production challenges.
  • Conduct supplier assessments, evaluate capabilities, and implement risk mitigation strategies.
  • Drive supplier accountability to achieve delivery and performance targets.
  • Support manufacturing process implementation, including tooling, equipment, and documentation readiness.
  • Promote continuous improvement and operational excellence within the supply base.

Requirements:

  • 5–10 years of experience in supply chain, project management, or manufacturing engineering, preferably in aerospace or similarly complex industries.
  • Proven experience managing industrialization and NPI phases.
  • Strong knowledge of supplier development, procurement, and production readiness.
  • Track record of leading cross-functional teams and holding suppliers accountable.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills.
  • PMP certification or formal project management training is an asset.
  • Proficient in MS Project, Excel, ERP/MRP systems, and project tracking tools.
  • Must be available to work onsite in Mississauga, Ontario.
  • Must have a valid passport and be willing to travel extensively.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with AS9100/ISO9001 quality standards and aerospace industry practices.
  • Experience with APQP, PPAP, FAI, and production ramp-up methodologies.
