Position Summary

Owns continuous improvement across production — process design, SOP creation and maintenance, data and analytics on throughput and downtime, and leading the onboarding of new equipment and production lines. Also the production-side voice on new product and packaging development, ensuring what Commercial and the packaging specialist want to launch can run reliably on existing equipment at a known cost before it's committed to.

Key Responsibilities

- Analyze production data (throughput, downtime, yield, changeover time) to identify improvement opportunities across cells and shifts.

- Write, revise, and maintain SOPs and work instructions for production equipment and processes.

- Lead process improvement projects from problem definition through implementation and validation.

- Own onboarding of new equipment and production lines — commissioning, operator training materials, initial SOPs.

- Partner with Maintenance to root-cause recurring equipment failures and design out chronic issues.

- Support capacity planning by modeling how staffing, equipment,



and shift structure changes affect output.

- Support recent product and packaging development: work with the packaging specialist to confirm recent formats and materials run reliably on existing equipment before launch, flagging changes needed to tooling, SOPs, or line setup.

- Estimate production cost and throughput impact of proposed new products/packaging alongside Commercial, prior to launch commitment — labour, changeover time, run rate, scrap/waste expectations.

- Run and document trial/pilot runs for new products, translating results into go/no-go input for Commercial and the Production Manager.

- Track and report improvement initiatives and new product development status to the Production Manager.

Qualifications & Experience

- Degree or diploma in industrial/mechanical engineering, process engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in manufacturing process improvement.

- Experience with SOP writing and document control in a regulated manufacturing environment.

- Comfortable working with production data — spreadsheets at minimum; BI/analytics tools a plus.

- Experience commissioning new equipment or production lines is a strong asset.

- Comfortable estimating production costs (labour, run rate, waste) well enough to give Commercial a credible early read.

- Able to work cross-functionally with floor leadership and Commercial/packaging teams without formal authority over them.
