Job Description

THE ROLE

We’re working with a stable, long-established industrial manufacturer to find their Assistant General Manager, a unique, growth-focused position supporting the current General Manager with the long-term goal of succession over the next decade (or less).

This is a rare opportunity for a mechanically inclined leader to step into a high-impact role where they can grow into the site leader while staying close to the shop floor.

What We’re Looking For

• Mechanical background: Millwright (433A), Maintenance Technician, or similar hands-on technical experience
• Leadership potential: You don’t need a big title, just a strong presence, a collaborative mindset, and a desire to grow into more
• Problem-solver: You love getting your hands dirty, tinkering, modifying, and figuring things out when manuals or parts don’t exist
• CAD/PLC experience is a plus, but mechanical ability is more important
• Must be local to the Mississauga area or within a reasonable daily commute

Why This Role Is Different

• True succession plan: you’ll work side-by-side with the GM and eventually take the reins
• Legacy equipment meets custom innovation: no boring days here
• Stable, family-owned business with global reach and a local, small-company feel
• Room to grow: both technically and into executive leadership

REQUIREMENTS

• Proven experience in mechanical and electronic troubleshooting, including expertise in Hydraulics and Pneumatics.
• Proficiency in PLC programming, CAD software, and Microsoft Office.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
• Experience in a technical role within an industrial setting.
• A degree or diploma in mechanical engineering or a related field, complemented by relevant professional certifications.
