Job Description:

Are you the person everyone calls when the weld doesn't look right, the schedule is off track, or the team needs direction?

We're looking for a Welding Supervisor who knows the difference between managing people and leading them. Someone who can coach a welder, solve a production problem, enforce safety standards, and still keep the day moving when priorities change.

You'll lead a team of skilled trades professionals in a busy repair environment, providing hands-on support, technical guidance, and leadership that keeps quality high, repairs moving, and employees engaged. If you've successfully led unionized teams, enjoy developing people, and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed, we'd like to hear from you.

- Supervise, coach, and mentor hourly employees in a production and repair environment.
- Provide welding technique training and ongoing skills development to team members.
- Address employee concerns and act as the first point of contact for conflict resolution.
- Provide coaching, corrective action, and performance feedback when required.
- Escalate complex employee relations and performance matters to plant leadership.
- Serve as the facility's technical expert for welding and repair operations.




- Organize work activities and assign repair orders to maximize efficiency and productivity.
- Coordinate labour resources and determine work assignments based on priorities and repair requirements.
- Troubleshoot complex repair challenges and provide guidance to employees and management.
- Prepare labour estimates for non-standard work activities.
- Monitor workflow and ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
- Partner with office staff and leadership teams to coordinate operational priorities and workforce requirements.
- Support process improvement initiatives that enhance productivity, quality, and employee engagement.
- Contribute to facility goals by identifying opportunities for operational excellence.
- Perform other duties as assigned.

- Salary based on experience 75,000-92,000
