Woodfield Summary
Woodfield Canada Inc. is a leading Canadian manufacturer and upfitter of light commercial vehicle equipment, delivering solutions that range from shelving, drawers, and partitions to ladder racks, flooring, and fully customized fleet builds. Every part of our business is driven by a single purpose: to improve the lives of fleet managers. We achieve this by owning the entire process in-house, from initial design and engineering through to manufacturing and installation, giving our clients a single, accountable partner from concept to completion.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Special Projects Manager to join our Etobicoke team and help us carry that promise forward.
Role Summary
As Special Projects Manager, you will act as the primary point of contact between our shop and our office, translating technical and operational information between both teams. You will manage and administer client contracts from kickoff through completion and oversee special projects and contract fleet programs with well-known clients. This includes reading design drawings and installation reports, managing job schedules, delegating work across the team, and tracking project progress through our systems, so that every job is delivered on time, on spec, and on budget.
This role suits someone who is comfortable reading a technical install report one moment and having a direct conversation with a client the next. You take initiative, solve problems logically, and pay close attention to detail.
