Production Manager

Skjodt-Barrett is a world-class manufacturer of food solutions and custom ingredients for North America's most beloved and trusted brands. We take pride in working closely with our customers to understand their unique needs and create innovative, individualized solutions that deliver joy to their customers.

A family-founded company started over 40 years ago, we are backed by the investment company Axel Johnson Inc (AJI). With their investment and support, we are well-positioned to foster growth and explore new opportunities.

Our customers, blue-chip international brands and mid-sized producers alike, are why we exist. Our teams of innovators, communicators, and managers are the people who meet their needs, build trust, and exceed their expectations.

Reporting to the Plant Manager, we are looking for a Production Manager to join our team. You will lead a high-performing production team of 60+ people (upwards of 100 during peak periods), championing safe practices and keeping people, schedules, and resources aligned and operating at optimal levels to meet customer commitments. You will drive efficiency through smart planning, strong decision-making, and hands-on support, ensuring every shift runs with consistency, clarity, and momentum.

In this role, you will serve as the primary owner of our CMMS, leveraging the system to enhance maintenance visibility, improve equipment uptime, and drive smarter operational planning.

This is an existing onsite role working Monday to Friday, 9 am - 3 pm at our Brampton headquarters with some flexibility to cover other shifts as needed.

You are an operations supervisor, CI lead, plant lead, or assistant production manager with direct experience overseeing a team, and you want to move up. Or you are a Production Manager looking for a bigger plant with more responsibility. Either way, you are seeking exposure and growth at a scaling, fast-paced company undergoing an exciting transformation. You know how to run a safe, efficient, high-performing operation and how to lead and develop the teams that make it happen.

You balance big-picture planning with confident, hands-on decision-making, using data, scheduling, and continuous improvement tools to drive results.

Impact. You will shape the performance, culture, and consistency of the entire production floor. Your leadership will directly influence product quality, on-time delivery, workforce engagement, and the overall efficiency and reliability of plant operations. This is your opportunity to lead teams, optimize processes, and strengthen how people, equipment, and schedules come together every day.

Exposure. You want to be part of a progressive data-driven environment where you can develop insights into our people and production processes and make recommendations. This is an opportunity to be a change leader, moving us forward and away from the status quo. You will gain visibility across the full operations and see how decisions ripple across the plant. This is a chance to play a key role in cross-functional planning, complex production challenges, and continuous improvement.

Career development. At Skjodt-Barrett, we believe in developing our people and creating opportunities for those who take initiative. This role gives you the platform to deepen your operational expertise, strengthen your leadership capability, and take on broader influence in plant performance. As you drive improvements, mentor teams, and deliver consistent results, you will be well-positioned for advancement within Operations, Plant Leadership, or cross-functional roles across the business.
