About Harsh Nakum

I am a Mechanical Engineering Professional with a Master’s in Energy Systems Engineering and proven expertise in industrial maintenance, packaging machinery, GMP compliance, and calibration services. My career spans manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and bioscience industries, where I have consistently enhanced operational reliability, compliance, and efficiency. Currently serving as a Maintenance Supervisor at NowPac (Scarborough, ON), I lead a team of technicians while overseeing preventive maintenance programs, work order management in CMMS, SOP reviews, audits, client coordination, and inventory control. I continue to apply my strong technical background in troubleshooting and maintaining packaging equipment—conveyors, flow wrappers, cartoners, shrink/heat tunnels, and blister packaging machines—while driving continuous improvement across operations. Previously, as a Maintenance Technician at NowPac and FGI Group Inc, I gained extensive hands-on experience in troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and production line optimization within high-paced packaging environments. My earlier engineering roles in bioscience and calibration services strengthened my foundation in validation, documentation, and compliance with ISO, GMP, and NABL standards. I am passionate about leadership, continuous improvement, and lean methodologies, ensuring safe, compliant, and reliable operations that contribute to organizational success.
