Job Description
Engineering Manager – CAD150,000–CAD165,000 – Toronto (Remote)
Do you know how to turn complex engineering challenges into clear, practical solutions? Can you lead a talented technical team while keeping multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines moving forward?
The role
You will join a growing, engineering-led organization delivering advanced HVAC, refrigeration, controls, and building-system solutions across North America. The business is investing in its engineering capability and needs a strong leader who can bring structure, consistency, and fresh thinking to the team.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a multidisciplinary engineering function supporting complex HVAC, refrigeration, controls, and building systems.
As Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of controls and mechanical engineers across existing product improvements, new product development, and custom customer solutions.
You will balance technical leadership with people management and hands‑on project execution. Your focus will be on creating clear priorities, improving engineering processes, and ensuring every project is properly designed, documented, and ready for the field.
This is a remote position, with preference given to candidates based in the Greater Toronto Area.
Key Responsibilities

- Oversee design modifications based on field feedback, customer demand, and regulatory requirements.
- Establish clear change‑control, review, approval, and release processes.
- Maintain accurate drawings, bills of materials, operating sequences, and technical documentation.
- Lead new product projects from initial concept through commissioning‑ready handoff.
- Identify integration risks before they become field issues.
- Create a structured process for reviewing and prioritizing custom engineering requests.
- Improve engineering standards, system reliability, and overall efficiency.
- Partner with Sales, Project Management, Field Operations, and external partners.
- Represent engineering team during proposals, design reviews, and customer meetings.
The Benefits
- Opportunity to shape engineering processes and team development.
- Approximately 15‑20% travel across North America.
The person
You will bring:
- Seven or more years of relevant engineering experience.
- At least three years of team leadership experience.
- Strong knowledge of PLC/DDC logic, commissioning, and operating sequences.
- Experience managing professional engineering documentation.
- Excellent technical and non-technical communication skills.
- A valid passport and ability to travel.
- Experience with CO2 refrigeration, grocery retail, new product introduction, or relevant industry standards would be an advantage.
