Calling all new grads with a technical aptitude! Our client is a well-known manufacturer in the window and door industry, and we are looking to hire a Technical Applications Coordinator for their team. This person will work with product engineers and sales teams across the Canada and the USA, providing technical support for all products produced by the Canadian manufacturing facility. Initially, this person will build product knowledge and learn from more senior product managers. Eventually, the role will become more independent as this person becomes more integrated in the business and fluent in the products, acting as a technical resource for sales representatives and customers.

We are looking for a technically minded individual who is motivated to build a career in manufacturing. This person may have some technical training or engineering education, but this is not necessarily required. Some experience working in manufacturing and/or creating drawings on programs such as SolidWorks, Creo, and AutoCAD is a major asset. However, the right attitude and the desire to learn about manufacturing and products outweigh any technical skills, which can be learned.

Our client has a long history of manufacturing success and ingenuity and employs many individuals with long tenures with the organization. This position will offer opportunities for growth.

• Create and change hardware application drawings using SolidWorks or Creo
• Process sample requests and perform order entry backup
• Act as liaison between manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, and sales
• Once integrated in the business, travel to meet clients in the field as needed, with product engineers and sales representatives

Qualifications:

• New grad who is a technically minded individual
• Excellent communication skills
• Friendly and approachable
• A desire to learn and grow in the manufacturing industry
• Experience in the manufacturing industry is a major asset
• Formal technical training or an engineering degree is a major asset
