Operations Manager. Kamloops, BC
Our client is a well-established, stable industrial manufacturer serving mining, oil & gas, forestry, and other heavy industries. This is a rare opportunity to build structure, drive performance, and leave a measurable mark.
The business is financially strong, operationally active, and positioned for its next phase: transitioning from a capable job-shop environment into a disciplined, systems-driven manufacturing operation.
This role is central to that evolution…
What You’ll Be Doing
- Align production, procurement, inventory, and logistics into one cohesive system
- Bring structure to a fast-moving, non-standard environment
- Develop and implement SOPs, workflows, and repeatable processes
- Drive consistency across teams, shifts, and departments
- Improve shop floor rhythm, sequencing, and throughput
- Drive a “no surprises” operating rhythm with proactive issue resolution
- Own key metrics: on-time delivery, labour utilization, productivity
- Turn data into action and hold your team accountable to results
- Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement
- Oversee a workforce that includes both union and non-union employees
- Develop systems that reduce variability and reliance on tribal knowledge
- Implement a strict “ready-before-release” production standard
What You Bring
- Proven leadership experience in heavy manufacturing or industrial operations
- Track record of improving productivity, throughput, and delivery performance
- Experience implementing structure and process in environments that lacked it
- Strong presence on the shop floor—someone who leads from the front
- Ability to make tough calls, hold people accountable, and drive change
- Leadership experience in unionized environments
- Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing or similar are a plus
Why This Role Stands Out
- Compensation: $115,000 – $125,000 base + performance bonus + profit sharing + RRSP matching program
- Stability: Diversified customer base across multiple industries
- Impact: High-visibility role with direct influence on operational success
- Variety: No two days are the same—complex projects, multiple workflows, real challenges
- Growth: Opportunity to build systems, shape culture, and elevate performance
