Composite utility poles engineered for climate resilience
Resilient Structures manufactures composite utility poles and crossarms designed to withstand extreme weather and grid stress. The tech stack is production-focused (GMAW welding, Siemens PLC controls, Epicor ERP) with limited software depth, and hiring velocity is accelerating in manufacturing roles — indicating aggressive capacity expansion rather than platform development. Active projects cluster around lean ops (kaizen, value stream mapping, preventive maintenance) and production system upgrades, while pain points center on downtime reduction and delivery reliability, suggesting the company is scaling manufacturing throughput and supply-chain predictability.
Resilient Structures designs and manufactures composite utility structures—poles, crossarms, and modular systems—that resist damage from extreme weather, wildfires, and hurricanes while improving worker and community safety. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Tilbury, Ontario, the company operates across North America with a 201–500-person workforce split heavily toward manufacturing and operations. The product addresses grid modernization and infrastructure resilience in the face of climate-driven outages. Operationally, the company runs Epicor for ERP, Siemens PLC for production controls, and Power BI for visibility—a classic industrial-manufacturing stack. Current hiring focus is manufacturing-heavy, with concurrent emphasis on lean process improvement and equipment reliability.
Core tools include Epicor (ERP), Siemens PLC (production control), Power BI (analytics), Dayforce (HR), GMAW welding systems, and Microsoft Office. Stack reflects manufacturing operations rather than software product development.
Active projects include lean manufacturing initiatives (kaizen, value stream mapping), critical production system upgrades, preventive maintenance programs, equipment error-proofing, and dashboard automation. R&D on new composite processes and equipment is also underway.
