Manufacturing Engineer

What you will do

Support the execution of manufacturing projects by designing plant layouts, developing task lists, and creating standard operating procedures (SOPs). This role requires close collaboration with engineering teams and other departments to ensure seamless project execution and effective integration of manufacturing processes.

How you will do it

• Design product assembly lines by collaborating closely with production, engineering, and quality teams.

• Ensure all preparatory tasks are completed before production begins, including line and station setups (such as BOMs, fabrication parts, and consumables), developing task lists, and designing subassemblies and plant layouts.

• Prioritize safety for all workers and managers, ensuring adherence to Alberta and Canadian Occupational Health and Safety guidelines.

• Attend Joint Health and Safety Advisory (JHSA) meetings and participate in health and safety incident investigations, root cause analyses, corrective action requests (CARs), and preventive measures.

• Collaborate with the safety department and structural engineers to design effective safety restraint systems and other solutions to ensure safety is sustained before project commencement.

• Serve as a liaison between engineering and production on all projects, facilitating effective communication and knowledge transfer between engineering departments, project managers (PMs), and production supervisors.

• Coordinate Engineering Change Request (ECR) process, reviewing and approving all ECRs.

• Collaborate with the Quality Control (QC) department to implement standard work procedures, support the closure of CARs, and establish long-term fixes to prevent recurrence.

• Work with production and planning teams to gather essential project information, especially for time trials and scheduling tasks as projects transition to main production.

• Collaborate with line supervisors to oversee staff training, development, and competency maintenance.

• Perform other duties as required.
