We are looking for someone to take control of production, eliminate inefficiencies, and build a system that scales.
n
If you’ve never
n
- Built production systems
- Cleaned up a messy shop
- Driven measurable improvements
…this is not the role for you.n
The Mission
n
Turn production into a predictable, effective, system-driven operation.
n
Right now, there is friction:
n
- Incomplete BOMs
- Inventory gaps
- Last-minute purchasing
- Bottlenecks in the shop
Your job is to eliminate that.n
What You Own
n
BOM Accuracy (Non-Negotiable)
n
- Every job has a complete, correct BOM before production starts
- Built and maintained in Odoo
- Standardized across all sign types
- Zero missing parts. Zero guesswork
n
Purchasing Control
n
- You own all production purchasing
- Build and manage vendor relationships and pricing
- Materials are ordered based on production timelines—not urgency
- Eliminate rush orders and expediting costs
n
Inventory That Can Be Trusted
n
- Real-time accuracy inside Odoo
- Implement min/max levels for key materials
- Eliminate stockouts and reduce dead inventory
- Own receiving, labeling, and organization standards
n
Production Flow & Scheduling
n
- Own the production schedule end-to-end
- Balance labor, equipment, and workload
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks before they happen
- Coordinate tightly with PM and Install teams
n
ERP Ownership (Critical)
n
- Own and continuously improve production workflows inside Odoo
- Ensure BOMs, inventory, purchasing, and scheduling are fully integrated
- Drive real-time visibility across all jobs
- Eliminate manual tracking, spreadsheets, and workarounds
n
Lean Execution
n
You will implement Lean manufacturing across production:
n
- Standard work
- Waste elimination
- Process consistency
- Continuous improvement culture
This is execution—not theory.n
What Winning Looks Like
n
- Production runs without constant firefighting
- BOMs are complete before jobs hit the floor
- Inventory is accurate and reliable
- Install teams receive complete, install-ready packages
- Lead times decrease
- Rework and errors drop significantly
n
Who You Are (Be Honest)
n
You
n
- Have run production in a manufacturing or fabrication environment
- Have built systems—not just worked inside them
- Are highly organized and process-driven
- Hold people accountable and don’t avoid hard conversations
- Think in terms of throughput, efficiency, and flow
- Have hands-on experience using Odoo or a comparable ERP system
You are not:n
- A coordinator
- A task manager
- Someone who waits for direction
n
Disqualifiers
n
Do not apply if:
n
- You rely on memory instead of systems
- You accept “good enough” processes
- You avoid accountability or difficult conversations
- You’ve never owned outcomes across a production floor
- You are not comfortable operating inside an ERP system daily
n
Why This Role Matters
n
Fixing production fixes:
n
- Profitability
- Project timelines
- Team morale
This role directly impacts all three.n
Compensation
n
- Strong salary based on experience
- Benefits + RRSP matching
- Performance tied to company results (profit sharing)
n
How to Apply
n
Send
n
- Your resume
- A short summary of a production system you built or fixed
- The measurable results you achieved
n
Blunt Reality
n
If you’re the right person, this role will feel obvious.
n
If you’re not, this posting will feel uncomfortable.
n
That’s intentional.
