• Monitoring costs and operational performance, contributing to improved efficiency and profitability

About You

To qualify, you will bring a strong background in metal fabrication or heavy manufacturing, ideally within a heavy plate or attachment fabrication environment, with hands-on experience progressing from the shop floor into a lead, supervisory, or production management role. Experience in formal operations or production management is valued; however, candidates stepping into this level of leadership with the right shop-floor experience and capability will also be considered.

The following skills, certifications, and qualifications will be highly valued:

• Expertise in manufacturing operations, ensuring efficiency in scheduling, quality control, and inventory management
• Ability to read and interpret fabrication and production drawings, supporting clear communication and execution on the shop floor
• Understanding of welding, fabrication, and production equipment (e.g. press brakes, CNC, drilling), with the ability to support workflow and problem-solving on the shop floor
• Demonstrated ability to lead through change, optimizing workflows, refining processes, and driving continuous improvements
• Knowledge of health, safety, and environmental regulations, ensuring compliance within the fabrication environment
• Proven leadership ability, with a coaching mindset that fosters accountability, engagement, and performance across diverse skill levels
• Proficiency in MS Office and project management tools
• Hands-on exposure to fabrication or production environments in a leadership or support capacity (asset)
• Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field (asset)
• Professional certifications in PMP, Six Sigma, or Lean Manufacturing (asset)

As our ideal candidate, you are a hands-on, floor-focused leader who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You lead by example, spending time on the shop floor to understand workflows, support your team, and address challenges as they arise. You balance firm decision-making with a supportive, coaching approach, helping individuals at different experience levels succeed while maintaining production discipline.

This is a high-impact leadership role that requires structure, consistency, and resilience. Your ability to maintain stable production cycles, anticipate challenges, and drive practical improvements will play a key role in strengthening day-to-day operations and supporting Accurate Fabricating’s continued growth.
