Inovata Foods Corp. isn't just another food manufacturing company; we're innovators shaping the future of food production. Our mission is simple yet powerful: We create wholesome and convenient meals that bring family and friends together.

Why Inovata Foods?

Located in Canada with facilities in Tillsonburg, Ontario and Edmonton, Alberta, we are a leading producer of high-quality private-label frozen entrées for prominent clients throughout North America. Over the last 30 years, Inovata Foods has built a strong reputation for excellence in customer service, quality, innovation, and economics, with a rich history of growth.

We are investing substantial capital into state-of-the-art equipment and automation, while continuing to operate legacy assets awaiting replacement. This is an exciting opportunity for a leader who can balance reliability across a mixed asset base and position our maintenance function for the next phase of growth.

Our Values

At Inovata Foods, we are a values-driven company. Our RECIPE values—Respect, Engagement, Courage, Integrity, Passion, and Excellence—are at the heart of everything we do. These values guide our decisions, shape our culture, and drive our commitment to delivering outstanding results for our customers.

Our Impact

As Maintenance Director, you will lead Inovata Foods' maintenance strategy to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient plant operations.

  • Reliability & Continuous Improvement: Reduce unplanned downtime, lead root cause analysis, and implement reliability-centered maintenance initiatives.
  • Systems & Processes: Optimize HxGN EAM CMMS usage for planning, scheduling, and reporting; ensure accurate data discipline to drive decisions. (We are in the early phases of implementing HxGN EAM, so you will play a key role in shaping its adoption and effectiveness.)
  • Asset Management: Maintain and improve reliability across both state-of-the-art equipment and aging assets awaiting replacement.
  • Budget & Capital Planning: Manage maintenance budgets, develop medium-term capital plans, and conduct ROI analysis for major projects.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Production, Engineering, and Plant Leadership to ensure alignment and transparency.

What You Bring:

Education & Credentials

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or related field (preferred).
  • Maintenance Management Professional (MMP) or Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) (preferred).

  • Experience with CMMS systems (HxGN EAM preferred) and data-driven decision-making.
  • Skilled in budgeting, planning, and capital project management.
  • Familiarity with food manufacturing standards and regulatory compliance

Preferred Experience

  • Leadership in a manufacturing environment, ideally food or CPG.
  • Success in transforming maintenance culture from reactive to proactive.
  • Experience implementing TPM, RCM, or similar reliability programs.
  • Ability to manage reliability across mixed asset environments (new and legacy equipment).

What We Offer

  • Competitive Compensation: Salary reflecting your experience and qualifications, plus annual incentive plan.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Full medical, dental, and disability insurance from day one.
  • Generous Time Off: Vacation time to be negotiated, plus five personal days per year.
