Leveraging your organizational and leadership skills, you'll manage scope, schedule, and resources while fostering collaboration across departments.

- Lead Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) by executing test plans, managing customer expectations, securing sign-off, and generating FAT reports
- Drive critical success factors with key stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and within agreed scope, time, and quality
- Manage and reconcile project capacity and milestones through close collaboration with engineering, production, and service departments
- Identify issues that may impede progress and implement corrective actions or escalate as needed
- Communicate project progress clearly to both internal and external stakeholders
Qualifications
- 5+ years of project management experience in automation, packaging equipment, or custom machine building environments
- Engineering background required; Mechanical Engineering is preferred, though Electrical Engineering will be considered if paired with significant mechanical knowledge
- Strong project leadership experience and a solid technical foundation in automation
- Available for up to approximately 25% travel, including international
- Strong ability to manage multiple projects while effectively prioritizing tasks
- Exceptional written and oral communication skills in English
- Proven track record of improving performance, meeting commitments, and achieving results

Type: Full-time
Travel: Up to approximately 25%, including international travel
Location: Concord, Ontario, Canada (100% onsite, at least for the first year)
Salary Range: $100,000–$140,000 (DOE) CAD
