Team Development & Accountability
- Lead, coach, and support production employees with a focus on accountability, communication, safe work practices, quality standards, training, goal setting, and team development.
- Manage team performance matters in collaboration with supervisors and the Production Manager as needed, including attendance, workplace conduct, performance follow-up, conflict resolution, and consistent application of expectations.
- Support a production culture focused on accountability, teamwork, safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
Systems, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Monitor workflow, capacity, output, and quality to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and strengthen production performance.
- Use production data, tracking systems, floor-level observations, and documentation to support continuous improvement, process discipline, reporting, and operational accountability.
- Maintain accurate production records and support reporting related to performance, quality, labour, delivery, and operational results.
Cross-Functional Coordination
- Lead production meetings and participate in leadership meetings to support communication, planning, alignment, and decision-making across the operation.
- Collaborate with maintenance, receiving, shipping, quality, and management to support communication, coordination, and effective operational execution.
Requirements
QUALIFICATIONS - SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- 7+ years of progressive experience in wood-based manufacturing, including 3–5 years in a management, assistant management, or senior production leadership role.
- Relevant sector experience must come from home construction, flooring, doors, windows, or another secondary wood manufacturing environment.
- Experience in a custom manufacturing environment is considered an asset.
- Experience in trade-based production, wood-based cabinet manufacturing, architectural products, or other closely related custom production environments is required.
- Strong understanding of production workflow, quality standards, labour planning, material flow, equipment utilization, and production scheduling.
- Practical experience leading teams in a hands-on production environment, including coaching, accountability, performance management, training, and communication across multiple shifts.
- Demonstrated ability to manage changing production priorities, resolve operational issues, and support sound decision-making in a custom cabinet manufacturing environment.
- Experience with Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- In-depth experience working with MRP and ERP systems.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, CAD/CAM, CNC programming, or related systems is considered an asset.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
- Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Ability to manage processes, measure results, use information to support operational decisions, and hold people accountable in a fair and consistent manner.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
- This is an on-site role based in both an office setting and a hands-on production environment.
- The role requires flexibility to support production and operational needs across varying shift schedules, including availability outside standard working hours as needed.
Benefits
- Annual salary of $80,000 - $120,000, based on relevant skill set and experience.
- Extended health, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits.
