Maintenance Manager

We're looking for a Maintenance Manager who's motivated to strengthen systems, elevate reliability, and drive continuous improvement. At our Winnipeg dairy facility—operated in partnership with Vitalus—you'll lead a skilled team, foster a culture of ownership, and make sure our equipment and operations run at their best. This is your chance to build sustainable practices and create a legacy of safe, efficient, and reliable production.

IS THIS YOU?

• Experienced in asset care and preventive maintenance, with a mindset that looks beyond "break-fix" toward proactive, reliability-centered systems.

• A problem-solver and connector who bridges operations and maintenance, turning challenges into opportunities for improvement.

• A leader who's ready to inspire, develop, and empower a team, while advancing performance in a facility that values safety, quality, and sustainability.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.

• Drive Reliability and Continuous Improvement

  1. Develop and enhance a proactive, predictive maintenance strategy for automated equipment and production lines.

  2. Improve uptime and process reliability through data-driven approaches, CMMS optimization, and root cause analysis.

  3. Collaborate across all our teams to align maintenance priorities with plant performance goals.

• Lead, Develop & Empower Your Team

  1. Coach and mentor a skilled maintenance team, fostering accountability, ownership, and teamwork.

  2. Build a culture that encourages problem-solving and innovation on the shop floor.

• Keep Safety & Compliance Front and Center

  1. Ensure full compliance with HACCP, FSSC, CFIA, and GMP standards.

  2. Lead risk assessments, establish safe work procedures, and champion a safety-first culture.

  3. Maintain audit-ready records and drive best practices in environmental stewardship, including wastewater management and chemical control.

• Drive Operational Uptime & Continuous Improvement

  1. Improve planning and execution through smart inventory management and efficient use of resources.

  2. Support capital and improvement projects, from equipment upgrades to system enhancements, with a focus on reliability and long-term value.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 5–10 years in food manufacturing, with 3+ years in a maintenance or operations leadership role
• BA or Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering (Red Seal Millwright or Electrician is a strong asset)
• Strong understanding of HACCP, FSSC, GMPs, and CFIA compliance
• Experience with CMMS, ERP, and tools for maintenance and production planning
• A leadership mindset focused on continuous improvement, team development, and safety excellence
