You’ll partner with Safety, HR, Quality, Engineering, Loss Prevention, and other support teams to solve problems quickly and lock in better processes. Expect hands-on leadership in an active environment with variable noise and temperature—you’ll be on your feet, present on the floor, and available when the team needs direction.

Job Summary & Tips for Applying
How to stand out for Area Manager II (Cambridge, ON)
Stick to concrete examples. In a short paragraph, explain how you raised safety engagement (observations, near-miss reporting), cut a defect type, or stabilized output during a peak. Add one or two numbers—throughput per labor hour, % defect reduction, or rate improvement over a quarter. Outline your coaching cadence (start-of-shift huddles, mid-shift checks, end-of-shift recap) and how you use metrics to decide where to stand on the floor.
If you’ve led cross-functional fixes, name the partners (Safety/HR/Eng/QA) and what changed—new standard work, layout tweak, or escalation path. Close with schedule flexibility and your commitment to safe, high-quality work.
