About Penta
At Penta Equipment, we build equipment that works as hard as the people who use it. For more than 25 years, we’ve manufactured TMR mixers, spreaders, dump boxes, and truckmounts designed for the realities of agriculture and heavy-duty work.
With operations in both Glencoe and Thamesville, our team takes pride in practical problem-solving, accountability, teamwork, and building quality equipment that lasts. As our business continues to evolve and grow, we are focused on strengthening the systems, structure, and manufacturing processes that support long-term operational success.
We’re looking for people who want to contribute in a hands-on manufacturing environment where initiative is valued, improvement is encouraged, and collaboration across departments drives results.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to support and improve manufacturing operations across our Glencoe and Thamesville facilities. This role is responsible for developing, optimizing, and supporting manufacturing processes that improve safety, efficiency, quality, and overall production performance.
This position plays a key role in bridging product design and shop floor execution — translating engineering concepts into practical, repeatable manufacturing methods that support production teams and operational goals.
We’re looking for an experienced manufacturing engineering professional who is process-oriented, collaborative, and comfortable working directly within a fast-paced manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate brings a strong combination of technical engineering capability and practical shop-floor experience, with the ability to drive meaningful process improvements across multiple areas of manufacturing operations.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and implement manufacturing processes, layouts, and workflows that improve efficiency, safety, and product quality
- Develop and maintain process documentation including work instructions, routings, setup procedures, and manufacturing standards
- Partner with Product Engineering to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability and assembly
- Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing waste, improving throughput, and increasing operational consistency
- Evaluate and implement tooling, jigs, fixtures, and process improvements that enhance productivity and operator safety
- Support production teams through troubleshooting, process validation, and implementation of new manufacturing methods
- Collaborate with Process Planning to validate BOMs and manufacturing routings for accuracy and efficiency
- Work closely with Industrial Engineering, Production, Maintenance, and Quality to identify and resolve operational inefficiencies
- Support commissioning and integration of new production equipment and machinery
- Maintain a strong focus on workplace safety, ergonomics, and practical manufacturing execution in all process improvements
What We’re Looking For
- Post-secondary education in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
- Minimum 5 years of experience in a manufacturing engineering, process engineering, or industrial engineering role within a production environment
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, workflow optimization, production flow, and continuous improvement principles
- Experience developing and implementing manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, and process documentation
- Ability to identify operational inefficiencies and implement practical and scalable process improvements
- Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving capability within a manufacturing environment
- Experience supporting production teams through process troubleshooting, implementation, and change management
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with Engineering, Production, Planning, Maintenance, and Quality teams
- Experience with lean manufacturing, waste reduction, and production efficiency initiatives is considered an asset
- Strong organizational skills, communication skills, and attention to detail
- Proficiency with manufacturing documentation, BOMs, routings, and process development
Why Join Penta?
- We are a stable, growing Ontario manufacturer with over 25 years in business
- We offer a hands-on, team-oriented environment where practical problem-solving is valued
- You’ll have the opportunity to directly influence manufacturing efficiency, process improvement, and operational growth
- We are actively building systems, structure, and scalable processes to support the future of the business
- Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications
- Opportunity to contribute meaningfully within a collaborative and evolving manufacturing operation
