Supply Chain Full Time Mississauga, ON $80,000
- $100,000 CAD per year Polar Racking Inc. is a trusted leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of innovative solar mounting solutions, proudly serving customers across North America. At Polar Racking, we are committed to delivering high-performance, site-specific solar mounting systems that empower our clients to harness clean energy with confidence. Our cooperative approach combines cutting-edge technology, expert engineering, and a customer-first mindset to provide tailored racking products that meet the unique demands of each project. With a passion for sustainability and excellence, we work hand-in-hand with construction and engineering professionals to bring solar visions to life. We do not manufacture in-house. Every part we ship is produced by a manufacturing partner, and our supply base spans steel mills, roll formers, structural fabricators, galvanizers, and fastener producers across North America, Europe, and Asia. Our products are then installed on construction sites that run to fixed schedules. Quality Engineer will own the Quality measures, from the drawing through to the installed structure and into the warranty period. This role exists to establish Polar's Quality function and lead it. You will Work to define and own quality across four areas — Engineering, Manufacturing, Execution, and QA/QC — building the standards, control plans, procedures, and documentation from the ground up. You will work in a fast-moving environment with many projects running in parallel, in close partnership with Engineering, Supply Chain, Project Management, Field Operations, and our suppliers. RESPONSIBILITIESQuality Management System (QA/QC) Build and own Polar's quality management system — standards, procedures, work instructions, forms,



and records — and keep it current as the business grows. Define, track, and report quality metrics, cost of quality, and performance trends to management. Lead continuous improvement activity using structured problem-solving and quality tools. Control Plans, SOPs & Technical Documentation Own the control plans for every product category and part family — create, approve, maintain, and revise them, and verify that suppliers are producing to the plan in force. Collaborate in Writing and maintain standard operating procedures and other documents for manufacturing processes, inspection, packaging, bundling, loading, and shipping, and roll them out to suppliers and internal teams. Develop and maintain process FMEAs for critical parts and processes, with Engineering and with suppliers, and keep each one linked to the control plan and inspection requirements it drives. Use PFMEA risk ratings to set inspection frequency, process controls, and audit focus, and re-rate following nonconformances, field failures, and warranty claims. Establish acceptance criteria, inspection methods, and measurement equipment requirements, and keep them aligned to current drawings and specifications. Document Control Define and control the quality document package issued with each purchase order — drawings at the correct revision, control plan, inspection and test requirements, acceptance criteria, packaging and shipping requirements,



and the certifications and reports the supplier must return — and confirm supplier acknowledgement before production starts. Own version control for all quality and technical documents issued to suppliers, from purchase order issuance through to project closeout — drawings, control plans, SOPs, inspection and test plans, and acceptance criteria. Maintain a controlled document register so that every supplier is demonstrably working to the current revision, and that superseded revisions are withdrawn. Control the flow of engineering changes to suppliers and to site, including effectivity, acknowledgement, and confirmation of implementation. Maintain the complete quality record file for each project and each supplier through to closeout and handover, including certifications, inspection reports, and test results. Establish design review and drawing release controls so that specifications, tolerances, and material callouts are verified before they reach a supplier. Review drawings and bills of material for specification integrity, with particular attention to coating specifications, design load basis, and hardware allowances. Partner with Engineering to resolve design-related quality issues and feed field, supplier, and warranty findings back into design. Design and operate the supplier quality scorecard program — define the metrics, set performance thresholds, run the reviews, and drive improvement where suppliers fall short. Perform quality checks and verification of vendor output — source inspection, in-process checks, and pre-shipment inspection at supplier facilities — and authorize release to ship. Conduct supplier quality audits and on-site process assessments, in Nort
