Title: Drafting and Release Manager
Location: PrimeFab, Greater Toronto Area
Company: Triumph Group of Companies
Role Overview
The Drafting and Release Manager is the bridge between PrimeFab's drafting department and the manufacturing floor. You take technical drawings and specifications from drafting and translate them into instructions the shop floor can act on without confusion. That means reading and interpreting drawings closely, catching discrepancies before they become production problems, and explaining changes in plain language to the people building the product. You work closely with drafters, production supervisors, and shop floor leads, keeping everyone aligned on what is being released and when. Good work in this role means fewer questions on the floor, fewer rework orders, and a smoother handoff every time a drawing moves from design into production.

- Salary: $100,000 to $130,000 (commensurate with experience)
- Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision
- Three weeks vacation to start
- A stable, growing company with work across multiple construction and infrastructure sectors
- Direct exposure to both drafting and manufacturing leadership
- Professional development support and room to grow within the organization
- A hands-on role where your work is visible on the shop floor every day
