This role offers the chance to take ownership of day-to-day manufacturing operations, ensuring delivery across safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and cost objectives—while driving ongoing improvement in how we operate.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, quality, supply chain, and commercial functions, to solve real operational challenges and continuously improve performance.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys:

Leading from the front in a hands-on operational environment

Deliver against key metrics across safety, quality, delivery, inventory, productivity, and cost
Ensure production plans align with capacity, materials, and customer demand

Continuous Improvement

Drive improvement initiatives using the Novanta Growth System and lean principles
Improve workflow, reduce waste, and enhance productivity and quality
Use data and metrics to identify gaps and implement sustainable solutions

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with engineering, supply chain, planning, and quality teams
Remove operational barriers and improve end-to-end flow
Support problem-solving across the value chain

Supply Chain & Risk Management

Support material availability and inventory optimisation
Identify and mitigate operational and supply risks impacting delivery

What we are looking for

Proven experience in operations or manufacturing leadership (typically 7+ years)
Experience leading teams in high-mix or engineered product environments
Strong understanding of operational KPIs across quality, delivery, and cost
Demonstrated success with lean, continuous improvement, or business system frameworks
A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence across functions
Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills

Experience in precision engineering, electronics, or electromechanical manufacturing would be highly advantageous.

Why join Novanta?

Work on technologies that make a real impact on people’s lives
Be part of a global, innovative organisation at the forefront of advanced manufacturing
Lead meaningful change in an environment that values continuous improvement and ideas
Collaborate with talented teams across engineering, operations, and commercial functions
Opportunity for career growth across international markets
