The role collaborates with engineering and production teams, maintains documentation accuracy, and supports shop-floor activities in an on-site manufacturing environment.

Leads the mechanical engineering design team responsible for custom medium-voltage switchgear and bus-bar products. Oversees design standardization, CAD and FEA-based optimization, compliance with UL, IEEE, and ANSI standards, manufacturability, quality, and on-time delivery. Partners with sales, planning, production, maintenance, and quality teams to translate customer requirements into fabrication-ready designs. Manages cross-functional improvement initiatives, operational metrics, workflows, training, mentoring, and succession planning across global operations.

Develops production plans based on customer demand, forecasts, material availability, and manufacturing capacity. Coordinates with production, engineering, supply chain, and materials teams to resolve constraints and support on-time delivery. Uses ERP/MRP tools and Excel for planning and analysis, contributes to capacity planning and lean manufacturing initiatives, and communicates risks related to materials, capacity, and delivery.

Provides environmental, health, and safety support for a manufacturing facility. Responsibilities include regulatory compliance, risk assessments, audits, inspections, incident investigations, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, EHS documentation, employee training, and continuous improvement. The role requires interpreting WorkSafeBC and other regulations, managing safety programs such as machine guarding, LOTO, working at heights, and powered industrial truck safety, and communicating recommendations to employees, managers, and leadership.

Owns end-to-end production operations for the switchgear value stream, leading cross-functional teams and managing safety, quality, delivery, cost, and efficiency KPIs. Oversees daily production, scheduling, workflow optimization, resource utilization, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and Lean continuous-improvement initiatives. Collaborates with Planning, Materials, Quality, Engineering, and Maintenance to resolve bottlenecks, ensure compliance, and improve operational performance.

Supervise daily production execution across a defined value stream, leading Team Leads and Operators to meet safety, quality, delivery, efficiency, takt time, and schedule targets. Monitor KPIs, run Tier 2 meetings, coordinate materials and support functions, enforce standard work and 5S, coach employees, support training, and lead root cause analysis and corrective actions.

Leads lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives across production operations. Facilitates kaizen events, value stream mapping, standard work development, Daily Management systems, and root-cause problem solving. Analyzes production data, coaches leaders and engineers, develops training, tracks improvement roadmaps and KPIs, and ensures solutions are sustained. The role requires substantial manufacturing-floor presence, cross-functional collaboration, and occasional travel to support multi-site initiatives.

Designs, delivers, and improves technical and operational training for manufacturing employees. Provides classroom, hands-on, and coaching-based instruction in wiring, assembly, fabrication, inspection, safety, quality, and standardized work. Assesses and certifies employee competency, analyzes training effectiveness, partners with production and cross-functional leaders, reinforces EHS and quality standards, and maintains training records and LMS data.

Leads daily manufacturing training operations and supervises 6–10 Training Specialists. Responsibilities include staffing, coaching, scheduling, hands-on technical training, competency assessments, LMS administration, records management, program development, reporting, and continuous improvement. The role partners with Production, Engineering, Quality, and EHS teams to ensure training supports safety, quality, compliance, certification, and workforce readiness.

Production Controller supporting manufacturing operations by monitoring work-in-progress, identifying bottlenecks, coordinating production activities, tracking schedules, and reporting production status. The role communicates with Engineering, Procurement, Quality, Maintenance, and other departments to mitigate delays and ensure timely product delivery. Responsibilities also include supporting planners and schedulers, maintaining production reports, documenting history, and contributing to continuous improvement and safety initiatives.

The Continuous Improvement Engineer leads kaizen events and lean manufacturing projects on production lines. Responsibilities include value stream mapping, time studies, bottleneck analysis, standard work development, line balancing, visual management, Daily Management, root-cause analysis, operator coaching, and sustaining process improvements. The role analyzes production data, presents recommendations, tracks project results, and collaborates with Operations, Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain. It requires full-time on-site work in Surrey, BC, with some multi-site travel.
