People Leadership & Engagement

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of hourly associates and front-line leaders across shifts, building capability through clear expectations, regular feedback, training, and effective employee relations.
• Motivate and inspire the team to achieve individual, team, and department goals while creating ownership for safety, quality, service, cost, and engagement outcomes.
• Run daily direction-setting huddles, crewing/staffing, and performance and development conversations that help the team prioritize, solve problems, and deliver results with urgency.
• Build an inclusive, high-engagement environment where employees feel supported, challenged, recognized, and encouraged to bring forward ideas for improvement.
• Drive change through people by communicating clearly, bringing others along, minimizing people impact, and helping teams adapt to new processes, priorities, and ways of working.
• Partner with HR, Labour Relations, and site leadership to support hiring, onboarding, engagement, recognition, development planning, and fair administration of collective agreements where applicable.

Operational Execution & Service

• Deliver the daily production plan to target — volume, schedule adherence, and line efficiency.
• Manage crewing, changeovers, and shift hand-offs to meet service and cost commitments.
• Use plant systems and scorecards to monitor KPIs and respond in real time.

Continuous Improvement & Cost

• Apply Lean / production-system tools (5S, standard work, root-cause problem solving) to eliminate loss.
• Own department cost drivers — labour, waste, yield, and productivity.
• Lead or contribute to continuous-improvement projects that advance safety, quality, throughput, and cost.
