Hello. It's nice to meet you.

If you're looking for a challenge, you've come to the right place, because no matter who you are or where you come from, we're all building something. Every single one of us. Whether it's a home, a career, a family or a future, we're all searching for growth. This is our story too. For more than 45 years, we've built the All Weather Group into the largest privately owned and operated window, door and glass manufacturer in the country. But in some ways, we're just getting started. So, if you're driven to make an impact and bring your best to our tight-knit, people-first culture, we want to hear from you.

Are you ready for this?

Our team is the beating heart of All Weather - a true community, where the skills and experiences of people like you, make us better. We come from all over the world and together, we're building something pretty special.

We're currently hiring for an Inventory Controller for our Supply Chain department. In this role, you'll be challenged to think on your feet, learn on the job and get a little bit better each and every day, with the support of a team that always has your back. There's more to any job than words on a page, but the focus of this role is managing raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP), and finished goods to meet production schedules and operational goals. On any given day, the Inventory Controller is responsible for:

• Monitor and maintain accurate inventory levels, including raw materials, WIP, and finished goods.

• Propose process improvements to streamline inventory operations and enhance supply chain efficiency.

• Identify and address slow moving/obsolete stock with appropriate business leaders in supply chain to ensure sufficient inventory turns within A/R cash cycle (turns within turns)

• Actively bring awareness to deficient inventory management processes

Are you built for this?

Our story

It all began in 1978 in Edmonton, Alberta when a farmer, a salesman and a railroader created All Weather Windows.

We make premium products right here on home soil, designed and tested for Canada's harshest weather conditions, delivered with the promise of performance and style. Our purpose to Never Stop Building is a testament to the character of our people, because we're always striving and always looking for fellow "builders", just like you.

We're continuously working to build and promote an inclusive environment that attracts, celebrates and promotes diversity, equity and inclusion by every definition. Where everyone can bring their best and full selves to work, because what makes you different, makes all the difference to us.

The ability to make an impact.

The All Weather Group is a place where potential finds opportunity, leadership truly listens and the ability to make an impact has nothing to do with your title.

So, we invite people at all levels of the organization to speak up, chip in and put ideas into action to help shape our work, careers and company.

A culture of connection and care.

People are the beating heart of our tight-knit community, so their growth is an important way we live up to our purpose, to never stop building.

We're committed to positively impacting careers, lives and communities across Canada and proudly give back in four key areas; strengthening families, providing shelter, supporting education and, health and wellness. Over the years this has included charitable giving, partnerships, employee volunteerism and supporting families in need, but one thing never changes - we show up for the moments that matter.
