About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on, technically minded General Plant Manager to lead two complementary industrial businesses operating from our Calgary site. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a specialized manufacturing operation, lead an experienced team, and help build the systems and processes needed to support continued growth.
Overseeing approximately 60 employees across both businesses, you’ll lead day-to-day operations, develop your people, strengthen performance, and ensure the facility operates safely, efficiently, and profitably.
What You’ll Do
- Lead operations: Oversee ASME welding/fabrication, cold bending, hot bending, and painting and blasting operations, supporting department leads and stepping in where needed to strengthen leadership and performance.
- Drive performance: Establish and monitor KPIs, improve production efficiency, manage costs, and ensure quality standards and delivery commitments are met.
- Build better systems: Develop practical processes, reporting structures, and operational standards that improve consistency, accountability, and scalability.
- Lead people: Coach and develop department leads and employees, build a strong team culture, and establish clear expectations and accountability.
- Support customers and growth: Work with customers and the sales team on existing business, new opportunities, estimating, and service delivery.
- Own the facility: Take responsibility for site safety, equipment and facility maintenance, and the overall day-to-day management of the Calgary operation.
What You Bring
- Relevant experience in industrial manufacturing, metal fabrication, pipe processing, welding, bending, or a related environment.
- Experience managing a manufacturing facility, industrial operation, or multiple production teams, with responsibility for people, performance, and results.
- A strong technical foundation, gained through hands-on trades experience, engineering, or managing skilled trades and manufacturing teams.
- A track record of improving operational processes, implementing KPIs, and building accountability.
- Commercial awareness and experience working with customers, budgets, costs, and operational performance.
- A practical, hands-on leadership style, with the confidence to solve problems on the floor while keeping an eye on the bigger picture.
Why Join Us?
This is a chance to make a tangible impact in a specialized industrial business with significant opportunity to improve, grow, and shape how the operation runs. You’ll have the autonomy to make meaningful changes, develop your team, and build a stronger foundation for the future.
Compensation: Approximately $130,000-$150,000 annually, depending on experience.
