Hello. It’s nice to meet you.

If you’re looking for a challenge, you’ve come to the right place. We can’t promise where you’ll go, but we do promise no two All Weather journeys are the same because no matter who you are or where you come from, we’re all building something. Every single one of us. Whether it’s a home, a career, a family or a future, we’re all searching for growth. This is our story too. For more than 45 years, we’ve built the All Weather Group into the largest privately owned and operated window, door and glass manufacturer in the country. But in some ways, we’re just getting started.

Are you ready for this?

At the All Weather Group, you’ll be challenged to think on your feet, learn on the job and make an impact in big and small ways. We won’t hold your hand but we will have your back in helping you build the skills, experience and career you deserve.

We’re currently hiring a

Manufacturing Engineering Manager

for our Edmonton Plant I location. In this role, you’ll work under the guidance of the Director of Technical Services and collaborate with teams across the company to improve how we build our product-making processes faster, safer, and more efficient. You’ll lead the Manufacturing Engineering function within our Edmonton plant facilities. This role owns part quality, process design, manufacturing equipment reliability, capital project execution, and continuous improvement across production — partnering closely with Product Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, and Operations to drive safe, efficient, and scalable manufacturing. This is a hands-on leadership role for an engineer who is equally comfortable on the plant floor and in front of a project charter, and who wants to leave a visible mark on how a manufacturing operation runs, but, ultimately, help shape the future of our operations. If you enjoy hands-on work, solving real-world problems, and making a visible impact every day, this is the role for you.

There’s more to any job than words on a page, but on any given day, the Manufacturing Engineering Manager is responsible for:

Lead, coach, and develop a team of manufacturing/process engineers and technicians, setting clear priorities and building technical capability across the group. Own manufacturing process design and optimization for existing and new product lines, including line layout, automation, increase efficiency, tooling, fixturing, and work-cell design. Identify, scope, and lead CAPEX projects from business case through commissioning — managing budget, schedule, vendor selection, and installation. Drive continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen) to reduce waste, improve OEE, and increase throughput and first-pass yield. Partner with Maintenance to improve equipment reliability through TPM programs, PM optimization, and root-cause failure analysis. Collaborate with Product Engineering on manufacturability (DFM) for new products and engineering changes, ensuring smooth transition from design to production. Develop and maintain standard work, process documentation, SOPs, work instructions, and process control plans (e.g., VSM, poka-yoke, SPC). Lead root-cause problem solving quality, safety, and productivity issues, and drive corrective/preventive actions to closure. Manage project timelines and cross-functional communication using structured tools (WBS, RACI Matrix, project charters, Gantt Charts) to keep initiatives on track. Track and report key manufacturing metrics (OEE, yield, scrap, downtime, through put, cost) to plant leadership and build the roadmap for ongoing improvement. Champion a strong safety culture, ensuring all engineering work complies with OH&S regulations and internal safety standards.

Are you built for this?

We hire as much for attitude as we do for experience, because who you are is just as important as what you can do. Here’s who and what we’re looking for.

Education & Certification:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Industrial, or related Engineering field; must be registered as a P.Eng. designation with APEGA or an equivalent provincial association.

Manufacturing Experience:

5+ years of progressive manufacturing engineering experience, including 2+ years in a formal leadership or supervisory role. Preference for backgrounds in both automated and manual assembly— Experience in fenestration, building products, metal fabrication, or a similarly process-intensive manufacturing environment is a strong asset

Process & Lean Expertise:

Proven track record in applying lean manufacturing principles (e.g. Six Sigma, 5S, Kaizen), with demonstrated success in process optimization and automation initiatives. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with fluency in root-cause analysis tools (5-Why, Fishbone, FMEA).

Project Management and CAPEX:

Excellent project management skills, i
