You build strong cross-functional relationships with corporate and plant teams

KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

Strong expertise in multi-site manufacturing operations
Advanced knowledge of Lean, TPM, and continuous improvement
Strong understanding of production systems, planning, and KPIs
Strong financial acumen (cost control, budgeting, efficiency improvement)
Knowledge of regulatory requirements in:
- Canadian Food Inspection Agency (SFCR / Preventive Control Plans)
- WorkSafeBC (OHS Regulation)
Experience managing both union and non-union environments
Strong capability in labour relations, workforce engagement and performance management
Ability to analyze data and drive performance improvements

EXPERIENCE

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, management, or a related field preferred, with 15+ years of experience in manufacturing operations; an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience will also be considered.
10+ years in leadership roles
Multi-site manufacturing experience required
Experience in unionized food or beverage manufacturing strongly preferred
Lean / Six Sigma experience

NICE-TO-HAVE

MBA or advanced leadership training
Six Sigma Black Belt
Experience in dairy or liquid beverage manufacturing
Experience implementing enterprise systems or digital tools

THINGS YOU WILL DO…

Analyze operational performance across all BC sites to identify trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities
Drive alignment to corporate KPIs and ensure consistency across facilities
Coach and develop Plant Managers to strengthen leadership capability and accountability
Ensure effective implementation of corporate programs (EHS, QA, Engineering)
Support regulatory compliance
Monitor performance and intervene only when escalation thresholds are met
Support cost control, budgeting, and operational efficiency improvements
Drive standardization of processes, KPIs, and reporting across sites
