Production Lead — Metal Roofing Manufacturer
Steel Tile Co. | Innisfil, ON | Full-time, day shift
Steel Tile Co. has been manufacturing metal roofing and siding in Innisfil for over 40 years.
We’re growing, investing in better systems and equipment, and we’re looking for an
experienced hand to lead the production floor.
The role today, and where it’s going
This is a working lead position. You’ll be on the floor every day — setting up machines,
troubleshooting, and producing alongside our team. As the company grows, the role grows
with it: more time planning and leading, less time on a machine. The right person sees this
as an opportunity to build the production team and the systems around them.
You report directly to the owner.
You’ll work alongside our Trim Brake Lead, who has deep product knowledge and runs her
line with significant autonomy. Strong coordination with her is part of the job — shared coil,
shared colour planning, shared customer commitments.
Our equipment
- SSR roll forming lines (standing seam)
- Katech panel line
- Elite, Slate Shake, Summit, and Muskoka roll formers
- Round Ridge trim line
- Katola pressed tile press
Nobody walks in expert on all of it. We need someone strong in roll forming who can come
up to speed on the specialty lines.
What you’ll actually do
- Plan the daily and weekly production sequence from open sales orders and work orders
- in NetSuiteSet up and adjust roll forming lines — profile accuracy, camber, bow, oil-canning
- Coordinate coil and colour changeovers across lines to minimize waste
- Troubleshoot mechanical and forming issues, hands-on, when they come up
- Run tooling and die changes on the press
- Lead the floor — keep production moving, hold the standard, train as needed
- Coordinate with the Trim Brake Lead on shared coil and colour planning
- Coordinate with the estimating side on lead times and capacity
- Flag equipment issues early and coordinate maintenance
What we need from you
- 7+ years on roll forming equipment — setup and adjustment, not just operation
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot forming defects and dial them out
- Mechanical aptitude across multiple machine types
- Production planning experience — you can look at the order book and sequence the
- week
- Comfortable reading shop drawings, sales orders, and work orders on a computer
- Lead hand or shift lead experience
- Reliable, lead-by-example work ethic
- Able to work collaboratively with experienced operators — not a top-down style
- Interested in growing with the company as the role grows
Nice to have
- Standing seam panel experience
- Pressed tile or stone-coated tile experience (Katola, Decra, or similar)
- Multi-line shop background
- ERP experience (NetSuite, SAP, Epicor, or similar)
- Forklift certification
What we offer
- $38–$48/hr depending on experience
- Day shift, no rotating schedule
- Direct line to ownership — your input shapes how the floor runs
- A role that will grow with the company — we’re actively investing in the business
- Stable 40-year company with a strong product reputation
- Benefits after probation
