Full job description

Director of Technical Services & Innovation Engineering

Laboratory Research & Development Field Technical Services

Location: London, Ontario
Company: Progressive Industrial Fluids Ltd.

Build Something That Doesn't Exist Today.

Progressive Industrial Fluids is one of Canada's fastest-growing independent manufacturers of industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, cleaners, corrosion preventives and specialty process chemicals.

We're not looking for someone to maintain the status quo.

We're looking for an engineering leader who wants to build an industry-leading Technical Services organization from the ground up.

Over the next five to ten years, Progressive plans to grow several times its current size through innovation, technical leadership, and continuous improvement. We believe the future of industrial lubricants isn't built on selling chemicals—it's built on solving manufacturing problems.

If you are passionate about engineering, manufacturing excellence, product innovation, and leading technical teams, we'd like to meet you.

Your team will partner with customers to:

  • Reduce manufacturing costs
  • Extend tooling life
  • Improve part quality
  • Reduce scrap
  • Increase throughput
  • Improve lubricant performance

  • Customer-specific formulations
  • Product performance improvements

Collaborate closely with sales, operations, procurement, and manufacturing.

Continuous Improvement

Lead internal and customer-focused improvement initiatives using:

  • Lean Manufacturing
  • Six Sigma
  • DMAIC
  • Kaizen
  • Root Cause Analysis
  • FMEA
  • SPC

Develop measurable customer savings through process optimization rather than simply recommending products.

Technical Leadership

Build and mentor a multidisciplinary technical team including:

  • Laboratory technicians
  • Chemists
  • Technical service engineers
  • Application specialists
  • Product development personnel

Develop succession plans, technical standards, and career pathways.
