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

Collaborate with talented teams across engineering, operations, and commercial functions
Opportunity for career growth across international markets
