  Job Description
  At Techo-Bloc, innovation is in our DNA. We’re not just creating landscaping products—we’re redefining what’s possible in the industry. Our Research & Development department is the driving force behind the tools, technologies, and materials that set us apart. Now, we’re looking for an R&D Manager to join this powerhouse team and shape the future of hardscape manufacturing.
  You’ll be leading our engineering initiatives, working hand-in-hand with our automation team, and collaborating with professionals across 9 state-of-the-art manufacturing plants in North America. From brainstorming ideas to overseeing installations, from lab tests to full production rollouts—you’ll be at the heart of every innovation.
  This is more than a management role—it’s a chance to transform ideas into impact and work with one of the industry’s boldest brands.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years in an R&D, engineering, or hybrid corporate/manufacturing role
• 8+ years of experience in people management and cross-functional leadership
• D.E.C. or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Design, or Sciences
• Proven experience managing automation or engineering projects (an asset)
• Strong knowledge of budgeting, performance evaluation, and process planning

YOUR SKILLS

• Bilingual: French and English (English required for U.S. operations)
• Excellent leadership, communication, and coaching abilities
• Highly organized with exceptional time management skills
• Confident making complex decisions in fast-paced environments
• Comfortable with Office tools, Excel, and ERP software (e.g., Microsoft Dynamics AX)
• Physically fit for hands-on, demanding work when required
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and naturally curious
  Experience in the concrete industry is a plus—but not a requirement. We’ll provide hands-on training and support from our team of experts.

Your role will be both strategic and hands-on. Depending on project timelines and seasonal priorities, this role can shift between being fully office-based—focused on strategy, planning, and development—and 100% on-site, actively guiding contractors and overseeing installations.
While the position is structured as a full-time, Monday to Friday role, flexibility is key. The ideal candidate is willing to adapt to non-standard hours when needed, including evenings and weekends, especially during critical installations or urgent production issues.
