This role is essential for maintaining the operational excellence that Dana is known for, serving as a vital bridge between our manufacturing facilities and our administrative leadership. In this position, you will leverage your expertise in production workflows to ensure that our Canadian operations continue to run smoothly, safely, and efficiently from your home office.
As a General Production Coordinator, you will play a transformative role in how we manage our manufacturing data and logistical planning. You will be tasked with interpreting complex production metrics and translating them into actionable strategies that help our on-site teams meet their targets.

At Dana, we value forward-thinking individuals who are ready to contribute to the future of mobility through diligent support, clear communication, and a commitment to quality that is second to none.
Key ResponsibilitiesThe successful candidate will be responsible for a wide range of administrative and coordinative tasks designed to streamline our production cycles.
