Ensuring that we are continuously improving everything we do

What the workplace is like:
We are working to build THE best products in the world. That can mean a lot of revisions to any given part or process. This requires patience and focus.
We don’t pretend to be a “family”. We are a team, all working together towards common goals for mutual benefit - this is a professional relationship, not a personal one. We respect your life outside work too - work hard while you're here, not while you're not.
We try to make the workplace pleasant and welcoming, and to ensure that your workload is manageable and not unrealistic. However, some tasks are very challenging and some days are hard.
By the time you start, we'll be in a brand new building - clean, well lit and air-conditioned to ensure both machining precision & staff comfort.
Overtime hours are not typically required on average - we operate on averaging agreements for 80hrs per 2 week pay period. Work longer hours one day, shorter hours another.
We don’t require you to work on weekends or stat holidays.
Once you’re sufficiently autonomous, hours are reasonably flexible. Some days things go sideways and we need to stay longer to ensure a part can run overnight, but wherever possible, and within the limits of their capability to be autonomous at any given time, we aim to offer employees flexibility.
Work with us and we'll work with you - our primary focus is ensuring that we are efficiently producing & delivering consistently high quality parts, not simply ensuring that you’re in the building between arbitrarily determined hours. For example, if you need to look after your kids from 3pm to 7pm, we can accommodate an early start time or even a split workday.
We do not beat around the bush with corporate buzzwords and meaningless jargon. We make an effort to ensure our communications are direct, straightforward and clear. We expect the same from you.
We value honesty over all else. Your constructive criticism & feedback is not just "welcomed", it's required as part of the job in order to push all of us to make the products AND the workplace better every day.

What's on offer:
From day 1:
Competitive remuneration commensurate with qualifications, relevant experience & capability.
5 paid sick/personal days per calendar year, pro rata. Employees can use these as paid days off for any other reason too.
After 6 months:
Opportunity for profit sharing, pro rata - 20% of company net profit distributed between the employees annually. Conditions apply.
Healthcare & dental benefits

Ideal start date:
On or around June 1, 2024.

How to apply:
Email your resume & cover letter to us. We don’t need you to write a novel, but unprofessional and/or half-baked applications that lack relevant detail will be ignored.

What else should you know about Vorsprung?
What you do in your own time is absolutely your own business, unless it’s liable to affect us too. If there are any other considerations that may affect your ability to do your job, we ask that you let us know up front - honesty will not be punished, provided that we believe you are acting in good faith. For example, a history of alcoholism, drug addiction, violence, criminal activity, psychotic episodes, or any other forms of potential impediment or impairment (physical, mental/psychological or logistical) that may be relevant to your ability to consistently turn up & get your job done safely and efficiently should be mentioned & discussed. None of these considerations are necessarily insurmountable provided that we see convincing evidence that the necessary remediating work is being undertaken.

Vorsprung is an equal opportunity employer - candidates will be assessed strictly on their merits alone.

Location: Dallas Drive, Kamloops BC.
