Join our Team! AGF is looking for a Production supervisor for our shop in Kitchener.
About AGF :
At AGF, we’re a trailblazing force in reinforcing steel and post-tensioning, with more than 75 years of excellence and over 50,000 successful projects achieved. Renowned for our strong focus on health and safety, family spirit and culture of innovation, we take pride in being the heartbeat of major construction projects in Canada and across the globe.
Now, you might be wondering, “What’s the deal with reinforcing steel (also known as rebar)?”. In a nutshell, rebar is like the backbones of a building. It’s a key ingredient that gives strength to concrete so that it doesn’t crack, ensuring buildings and infrastructure remain strong and stable for years to come.
In Ontario, we have contributed to tons of projects, literally! From the light-rail transit in Toronto, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), the SickKids Research Institute, the Concord Sky, and beyond, our expertise spans a wide range of sectors, including institutional, industrial, civil engineering, commercial, and residential.
