General Manager
Greater Toronto Area, ON
Manufacturing Competitive salary $135,000–$155,000 based on experience with bonus, benefits, and a collaborative team culture
If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping away from Toronto traffic and building your career where lakes, forests, and an exceptional quality of life surround you, this role may be exactly that opportunity. The General Manager will oversee daily operations while driving operational excellence, team performance, and long-term growth. This individual will play a key role in aligning production, people, and processes to support the company’s continued expansion and operational success.
Our client, an established manufacturer serving the North American construction and building products market, is seeking a General Manager to lead and optimize its manufacturing operations. While this opportunity is being promoted across the Greater Toronto Area, the position is based on-site in Bracebridge, Ontario, offering a unique chance to trade long commutes and city congestion for a leadership role in one of Ontario’s most sought-after cottage country communities.
The Role
• Provide overall leadership for manufacturing operations, ensuring performance across safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives
• Oversee production planning, workflow coordination, and operational resources to ensure efficiency and consistent delivery to customers
• Lead and develop department managers and supervisors while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Champion operational excellence initiatives, including the implementation of lean manufacturing practices and process improvements
• Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to track performance, identify improvement opportunities, and drive accountability
• Partner with leadership in sales, finance, and administration to align operational capacity with business growth plans
• Oversee workplace safety programs and ensure compliance with applicable health, safety, and environmental regulations
• Lead change initiatives across the organization while promoting clear communication and team engagement
• Contribute to capital planning, equipment investments, and operational technology improvements
• Support strategic initiatives that improve productivity, efficiency, and profitability across the business
The Ideal Candidate
• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience within a manufacturing or industrial operations environment
• Demonstrated success leading multi-department manufacturing operations or plant-level leadership roles
• Strong background in operational leadership, continuous improvement, and performance management
• Proven ability to lead and develop teams while building a culture of ownership and accountability
• Experience implementing operational metrics, performance dashboards, and process improvement initiatives
• Strong financial and business acumen with the ability to balance operational priorities with broader business goals
• Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across departments
• Post-secondary education in engineering, operations management, business, or a related field is considered an asset
• Experience within manufacturing sectors such as building materials, industrial products, or other process-driven environments is advantageous
• Lean, Six Sigma, or other operational excellence training is considered an asset
