- **Book carriers and schedule truckloads** (2-3 per week), including multi-drop shipments to customers and Houston restock.
- **Review customer order confirmations** prepared by the Office Administrator before sending; be capable of preparing them directly in Sage 50 and our custom portal when needed.
- **Oversee the inventory monitoring system**:

- Production/Warehouse staff complete counts and report stock.
- Ops Manager ensures accuracy, maintains reorder points, and issues routine POs for resin, consumables, and tooling.
- **Review supplier quotes and approve routine purchases** within set limits.
- **Act as first point of contact for staff questions/issues**, escalating only exceptions or strategic matters to the President.
- **Create training and SOP documentation system**:

- Work with experienced staff to capture procedures.
- Ensure SOPs are written, updated, and followed.
- Use labourers/assistants for formatting, entry, and photo capture.
- **Handle freight and delivery issues directly with carriers and drivers.**:

- Support ISO/quality systems (SOPs, calibration logs, audit prep).

**Qualifications**
- Diploma or degree in **Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, or related field** preferred.
- 3-7 years’ experience in operations, production coordination, or logistics (manufacturing an asset).
- Strong organizational skills and comfort with spreadsheets (Google Sheets/Excel).
- Excellent communicator with both shop floor and office staff.
- Hands-on problem solver with leadership potential.

**What We Offer**
- Growth path into a senior leadership/GM role.
- Friendly, positive work environment
- Stable, long-established company with new product lines and expansion ahead.

**How to Apply**

Pay: $75,000.00-$90,000.00 per year

**Benefits**:

- Dental care
- Vision care

**Education**:

- Bachelor's Degree (preferred)
