Hawk Machine Works is seeking a Shop Supervisor to own daily production performance at our Edmonton facility. This is not a headcount-babysitting role. You are accountable for what comes off the floor throughput, on-time delivery, first-pass quality, and safety for a team of 10-15 machinists and support staff.

We machine precision components for the oil and gas sector. Tolerances are unforgiving and delivery commitments are firm. We're looking for someone who has run a floor, knows how to unlock a bottleneck before it becomes a late shipment, and can hold a team to a standard without burning it out.

- Sequence and dispatch work across the floor; identify and clear bottlenecks, tooling gaps, setup delays, and material shortfalls before they cost you a shipment
