Job description

Job description :

Laminacorr Industries Inc. is a leading manufacturer of corrugated plastic products based in Cornwall, Ontario. We produce durable, lightweight, and recyclable plastic solutions used across packaging, automotive, agriculture, signage, and construction industries throughout North America.

We are a growing, innovative manufacturing company committed to safety, quality, teamwork, and continuous improvement , offering a stable work environment and opportunities for long-term growth.

Position Summary :

The Extrusion Supervisor is responsible for ensuring the safe, stable, and efficient operation of the Extrusion Department. This role is critical in delivering consistent output, maintaining world-class safety and housekeeping standards, driving disciplined execution, and fostering continuous improvement through strong leadership, Lean principles, and clear accountability at all levels.

The Extrusion Supervisor is accountable for results—not just activities. Key responsibilities include achieving targets for output, quality, cost, safety, employee engagement, and equipment performance.

Key Accountabilities

1. Safety, Health & Housekeeping (Non-Negotiable)

  • Establish and enforce zero-tolerance standards for health, safety, sanitation, and housekeeping.
  • Ensure full compliance with all company safety policies, WSIB requirements, and regulatory standards.
  • Lead by example through visible floor presence and active safety leadership.
  • Conduct regular safety walks, audits, and toolbox talks; ensure corrective actions are implemented and sustained.
  • Own incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action closure.
  • Ensure all extrusion areas meet 5S standards at all times—not “before audits”.

2. Production Performance & Optimization

  • Ensure a steady, predictable flow of production : right product, right quantity, right quality, right time.
  • Deliver production plans on time and within budget, in close coordination with Production Scheduling.
  • Optimize OEE, uptime, yield, scrap, changeover performance, and labor utilization.
  • Proactively identify constraints, bottlenecks, and losses—and drive countermeasures.
  • Ensure accurate and timely completion of all production records and ERP transactions.
  • Actively participate in R&D and process trials where required.
  • 3. Lean Manufacturing & Continuous Improvement

  • Implement and sustain Lean manufacturing principles across extrusion operations.
  • Develop, standardize, and enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all extrusion processes.
  • Lead structured problem-solving (root cause analysis, corrective actions, standardization).
  • Drive waste elimination in material usage, labor, downtime, rework, and motion.
  • Partner with Maintenance to align preventive maintenance schedules with production needs.
  • Ensure improvements are documented, trained, and audited for sustainability.
  • 4. Quality Ownership

  • Build quality into the process—not inspect it in later.
  • Ensure raw materials, in-process product, and finished goods meet Laminacorr specifications.
  • Maintain compliance with all Quality Management System requirements.
  • Lead internal quality audits and corrective action plans.
  • Ensure extrusion documentation supports traceability, repeatability, and compliance.
  • 5. Leadership, Accountability & People Development

  • Set clear expectations, standards, and consequences for performance at all levels.
  • Provide active coaching, performance management, and development of Lead Hands and operators.
  • Hold employees accountable through structured feedback, corrective action, and recognition.
  • Ensure all employees are properly trained, certified, and capable of executing their roles safely and effectively.
  • Participate in hiring, discipline, and termination decisions in alignment with company policy.
  • Build engaged, disciplined teams that take ownership of results—not just tasks.
  • 6. Inventory & Cost Control

  • In partnership with Inventory Control, maintain appropriate raw material inventory levels.
  • Reduce material losses, scrap, and excess handling.
  • Support cost-reduction initiatives through process improvement and operational discipline.
  • Education & Experience

    Education

  • Post-secondary education in Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience

  • Minimum 3 years in a front-line manufacturing leadership role, preferably in extrusion or high-volume manufacturing.
  • Demonstrated experience driving Lean improvements, safety discipline, and performance accountability.
  • Required Certifications

  • First Aid Certification (preferred; must be willing to obtain).
  • Health & Safety Certification (preferred; must be willing to obtain and maintain).
  • Core Leadership Competencies

  • Ownership & Accountability : Takes responsibility for outcomes, not excuses.
  • Operational Discipline : Enforces standards consistently and fairly.
  • Safety Leadership : Acts decisively to protect people and assets.
  • Problem Solving : Uses data and root cause thinking to drive lasting solutions.
  • People Leadership : Coaches, challenges, and develops others.
  • Continuous Improvement Mindset : Relentless focus on doing things better every day.
  • Technical Skills & Knowledge

  • Strong knowledge of production operations, inventory control, and manufacturing systems.
  • Working experience with ERP systems (Global Shop preferred).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, email, and basic data analysis.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills across all organizational levels.
  • Working Conditions

  • Industrial manufacturing environment.
  • Approximately 50% standing, 25% walking, 25% sitting.
  • Regular exposure to noise, dust, and fumes.
  • Moderate computer usage required.
  • Hours of Work

  • Minimum 40 hours per week; flexibility required to support production needs.
