About the Role
Lead a brand-new, critical corporate safety initiative as a Project Engineer, focusing on workplace ergonomics to eliminate Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) hazards and repetitive motion injuries. This is a hands-on role requiring technical expertise on the production floor.
Responsibilities
- Own and execute engineering projects from concept to final commissioning across the GTA plant network to eliminate high-frequency strains, awkward postures, and heavy lifting risks.
- Spend significant time on active production floors auditing layouts, collaborating with plant supervisors, and managing project timelines.
- Partner with Health & Safety to analyze injury logs, identify mechanical or layout root causes, and build engineered interventions.
- Utilize CAD software to design, modify, and implement physical workstation upgrades, conveyor re-routes, mechanical lifting assists, and custom manufacturing jigs.
- Define technical specifications, source equipment, manage localized project budgets, and coordinate third-party trades during plant installations.
- Ensure all engineered fixes undergo pre-start health and safety reviews and operator validation checks prior to standard production line integration.
- Maintain precise milestone scheduling across all active GTA site interventions, reporting structural project updates back to senior operations leadership.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
- 3–5+ years of active experience as a Project Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, or Field Engineer in a high-volume industrial plant setting.
- A valid Ontario G Driver’s License and access to a reliable vehicle to seamlessly support travel between facilities in North York, Brampton, and Vaughan.
- High proficiency in 3D CAD modeling software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) to draft line modifications and equipment retrofits.
- A strong foundational understanding of MSD hazard mapping and human biomechanics within heavy material handling or assembly environments.
- Proven ability to collaborate with shop floor assembly operators, maintenance staff, and external contractors to build or troubleshoot mechanical fixes.
