Mawg is an experiential design and fabrication studio specializing in complex, custom-built environments and installations across Canada. Our work lives at the intersection of creativity and execution, where ideas must be translated into real-world builds that are precise, durable, and delivered on time. We operate in a fast-paced, deadline-driven setting where clarity, accountability, and follow-through are essential.
We value people who take ownership of their work, collaborate seamlessly across teams, and understand how decisions on the shop floor and on-site directly impact timelines, budgets, and client trust. Role Overview
As Production Manager, you are the operational backbone of Mawg’s projects. You oversee the physical execution of work, from build strategy and fabrication through warehousing, logistics, and installation.

This role is critical to ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to a consistently high standard of quality and safety across the shop, warehouse, and site.
