Job description

We’re seeking a Plant Manager who leads with purpose—someone who can elevate a fast‑moving Oakville operation by empowering people, strengthening processes, and building a culture rooted in safety, quality, and respect. This leader inspires teams, develops talent, and creates an environment where high performance feels natural.


What You’ll Drive

  • Smarter, faster workflows through optimized labour planning, equipment utilization, and waste reduction
  • A relentless focus on product quality, on‑time delivery, and cost‑effective manufacturing
  • KPI‑driven decision‑making, with proactive corrective actions to keep performance at its peak
  • A safety‑first environment where compliance, training, and accountability are embedded in every process
  • A high‑performing team through strong leadership—hiring, coaching, developing, and evaluating talent
  • Budget oversight, inventory management, and supply chain coordination to support operational goals
  • Strategic collaboration with senior leadership on forecasting, long‑range planning, and continuous improvement initiatives


What You Bring

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related field
  • 5–10 years of plant or operations management experience within manufacturing
  • Working within a unionized environment
  • A proven ability to lead, motivate, and elevate teams in fast‑paced environments
  • Strong command of production planning, cost control, and quality assurance
  • Working knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and safety regulations
  • A mindset that blends strategic thinking with hands‑on leadership and a drive for operational excellence
