Work Where the Results Happen

We don't hand off a slide deck and walk away. At Solara Partners, we embed directly with our clients' teams, on-site, and stay until the results are real and the capability to sustain them is built.

If you want your work measured by what actually changes on the plant floor, in the pit, or on the line, not by how polished the deck looks, you'll fit in here.

You'll work directly alongside senior partners. Every engagement is partner-led. There's no junior-led delegation, no layers between you and the client relationship, and no work that gets handed off without context.

Your contributions are visible. We're a small, high-impact team. What you build shows up in the client's operations, not buried in an appendix.

We deliver results, not reports. Success is measured in sustained operational change, not in deliverables that sit on a shelf.

The engagements matter. Our work spans high-stakes, high-visibility operations across mining, utilities, and manufacturing globally.

Compensation reflects the role. Competitive pay and bonus structure, along with a generous benefits package. 

Management Consultant

Type: Full-time / Contract

Compensation: $110,000–$175,000 CAD

The Role

We're growing our consulting team and looking someone with hands-on operational excellence experience in mining, utilities, or manufacturing. This is a client-facing, delivery-focused role. You won't be writing recommendations from a distance; you'll be embedded within client operations, diagnosing performance gaps, designing and implementing improvement initiatives, and coaching client teams from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Diagnose operational performance gaps using value stream mapping, bottleneck analysis, and data analytics
• Design and implement process optimization initiatives, visual management systems, and continuous improvement programs
• Build and embed Management Operating Systems (MOS), KPI hierarchies, and performance dashboards that connect strategy to frontline execution
• Lead change management efforts, driving adoption of new processes, systems, and ways of working across client organizations
• Coach and develop client teams' internal capabilities so improvements are sustained after the engagement ends
• Support project management of multi-workstream improvement initiatives, from scoping through delivery
• Communicate findings, progress, and recommendations clearly, to operators and frontline leaders as well as senior client executives

What You Bring

• Consulting or operational experience in mining, utilities, or manufacturing (direct exposure to plant, mine, or field operations is highly valued)
• Professional fluency in Spanish and/or French, in addition to English; a strong asset given Solara's international client base
• Demonstrated change management, coaching, or facilitation skills, with comfort driving adoption and behavior change at all levels of an organization
• At least one relevant certification: Lean Six Sigma (LSS), Prosci Change Management, Supply Chain (CSCP/CPIM), PMP, or an MBA or equivalent
• Strong analytical skills and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively and work embedded on client sites for extended periods

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in a boutique or embedded-delivery consulting model
• Familiarity with process optimization, digital transformation, or real-time analytics tools in an industrial setting
• A track record of leading or contributing to measurable, large-scale operational improvement results

We're a growing team, and the right fit matters more to us than filling a specific opening. If your background is in mining, utilities, or manufacturing operations and embedded, hands-on consulting sounds like the way you want to work, we'd like to hear from you.
