Job description

Production & Fabrication Supervisor

Salary : $75,000 – $85,000

Location : Scarborough, ON

Facility Size : 17,000 sq. ft. | Modern, best-in-class equipment

About the Company

This is a well-established, privately owned metal fabrication business that has been operating successfully for over 15 years . From its 17,000 sq. ft. Scarborough facility , the company produces high-quality, precision components for a variety of industries using modern equipment, including a new laser cutter, advanced bending equipment, and complementary fabrication machinery .

What truly sets this company apart is its reputation. Much of its business comes through word-of-mouth referrals , a direct result of consistent quality, reliability, and craftsmanship. Customers trust this shop because it delivers , every time!

The owner is deeply invested in the future of the business and is now looking to bring in a strong shop-floor leader who can take ownership of day-to-day production and people leadership. This role is critical to enabling the owner to focus on strategic growth while continuing to build a strong foundation for the next generation of leadership within the company.

If you’re someone who takes pride in running a clean, organized, high-quality shop and mentoring people to do their best work, this is an opportunity to make a real, lasting impact.

The Opportunity

The Production & Fabrication Supervisor will be the operational leader on the floor, overseeing production employees while ensuring safety, quality, efficiency, and accountability. This role blends hands-on technical expertise with people leadership , process coordination, and continuous improvement.

You will act as the link between operations planning and daily execution — making sure jobs flow smoothly, teams are supported, and standards are upheld.

Key Responsibilities

Production Leadership & Scheduling

  • Provide floor leadership with a dotted-line responsibility to all production employees
  • Take the weekly production schedule from the Operations Manager and facilitate daily scheduling, job flow, and production meetings
  • Lead job orientation, workflow planning, and sequencing to meet delivery commitments

People Leadership & Accountability

  • Manage employee performance, discipline, and coaching
  • Conduct performance reviews and support employee development
  • Allocate resources effectively to meet production and quality targets
  • Mentor and train new and existing employees on machinery, processes, and best practices
  • Quality Control & Continuous Improvement

  • Oversee quality control processes and be responsible for non-conformance disposition
  • Identify root causes and implement corrective actions
  • Maintain high standards that align with the company’s reputation for excellence
  • Inventory & Purchasing

  • Manage inventory movement and accuracy
  • Support purchasing activities as required
  • Health, Safety & Compliance

  • Champion health and safety, PPE compliance, and ongoing training
  • Schedule and manage annual inspections and certifications (forklifts, cranes, fire extinguishers, etc.)
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized shop environment
  • Technical Leadership

  • Identify special tooling requirements for jobs and lead in-house tool design in collaboration with the team
  • Support maintenance of machinery and equipment to ensure optimal performance
  • Provide input on process improvements and equipment utilization
  • Customer Interaction

  • Support customer communication when required, particularly around job requirements, timelines, or technical considerations
  • Qualifications & Experience

  • 8–10+ years of hands-on metal fabrication experience
  • Supervisory and / or management experience in a fabrication or manufacturing environment
  • Strong CAD design skills (SolidWorks and AutoCAD)
  • Solid understanding of machining processes
  • Knowledge of metallurgy (alloys, hardness, material selection, etc.)
  • Welding knowledge and / or practical experience
  • Engineering or design-related education is strongly preferred
  • Experience working with ERP systems
  • Strong understanding of fabrication machinery and shop equipment
  • The Ideal Leader Is Someone Who Is…

  • Detail-oriented and quality-driven
  • A practical, solutions-focused problem solver
  • Confident leading people while remaining approachable and fair
  • Strong in written and verbal communication
  • Comfortable balancing hands-on work with leadership responsibilities
  • Proud of running a clean, organized, and efficient shop
  • Motivated by ownership, trust, and long-term impact — not micromanagement
  • Why This Role Stands Out

  • Stable, profitable business with a strong reputation
  • Modern equipment and a well-invested shop
  • Owner-led company with a long-term vision
  • Opportunity to truly own the floor and influence how the shop operates
  • Competitive compensation for the market ($75K–$85K)
  • A chance to help shape the future of a growing, family-driven business
  • Create a job alert for this search
