About

The Role

We are looking for Production Supervisors to lead front‑line production and processing teams within our aluminum smelting operations, with accountability for safety, people leadership, and operational performance.

This is a great opportunity for safety‑driven and people‑focused leaders to coach a front‑line team, build capability, and deliver safe, stable production outcomes. While schedules vary by department, most roles follow a predictable 12‑hour rotating day and night shift pattern (2 days on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off).

Our operations include Wharf (logistics and material handling), Carbon (manufacturing and handling of carbon products used in smelting), Casting (controlled production and quality‑focused processing), and Reduction (large‑scale, aluminum smelting production). Experience from logistics, manufacturing, utilities, mining, oil & gas, pulp and paper, or other process‑driven manufacturing and production industries transfers well, especially strengths in safety, teamwork, coaching, problem‑solving, and working within structured operating procedures.

While we don’t offer fly‑in‑fly‑out arrangements, we do offer domestic relocation assistance to help you settle in and thrive. Join us and become an integral part of our vibrant community. Located on British Columbia, Canada's northwest coast, Kitimat is a welcoming, family‑friendly community set between the mountains and the sea. Known for its strong local economy, modern amenities, short commutes, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, it’s an ideal place to build both a career and a life.
