About The Position

This Production Supervisor role owns the shop floor, it’s a hands-on leadership role responsible for getting the operation running every day: on time, to spec, and safely. You are managing a team of 10+ welders, fitters, and labourers directly, with no foreman layer underneath. You are the last line of quality before work goes out the door. All Railings builds custom miscellaneous metals and railing systems. The work is precise, the drawings are detailed, and the margin for error is small. We are looking for someone who has built things with their own hands, can read a fabrication drawing and catch what is wrong before it becomes a problem, and knows how to run a safe, organized, productive shop without being told to.

Strong working knowledge of welding processes, CWB and AWS standards, and fabrication tolerances
Proven supervisory or leadership experience managing a skilled trades team
Track record of owning safety on a shop floor: not compliant, proactive

Ability to assess competing priorities, manage time effectively, and focus on high-priority tasks in a fast-paced environment.
Willingness to obtain additional training as required
