Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Compensation: $26.00 - $30.00 per hour
About the Opportunity
Our client is a growing manufacturer of precision hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic components supplied to the tool and mold industry. Backed by an established global organization, the Canadian operation offers the opportunity to join a small, collaborative team where every employee plays an important role in delivering high-quality products to customers across North America.
Success in this role is measured just as much by your integrity, attention to detail and commitment to quality as it is by your technical ability.
We're looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, enjoys solving mechanical challenges and wants to help build a strong manufacturing team.
Who This Role Is For
This opportunity is ideal for someone who:
- Is mechanically inclined and enjoys working with their hands.
- Has experience operating machine tools in a manufacturing environment.
- Takes pride in producing high-quality work.
- Enjoys variety and is comfortable switching between machining and mechanical assembly throughout the day.
- Wants to continue learning and growing within a small, team-oriented manufacturing environment.
- Is honest, accountable and willing to ask questions rather than make assumptions.
This is not a production line or CNC-only machining role. Approximately half of your time will be spent machining components, while the balance will focus on mechanical assembly, inspection and supporting production activities.
What You'll Be Doing
- Operate CNC milling machines, manual milling machines and an engine lathe to machine or modify components.
- Set and adjust cutting tools on CNC milling machines and conventional machine tools.
- Drill, machine, deburr and finish precision hydraulic components.
- Assemble hydraulic cylinders and mechanical components.
- Read mechanical drawings and follow work instructions.
- Inspect finished parts using precision measuring equipment.
- Take ownership of product quality by inspecting your own work and raising concerns whenever something appears incorrect or out of specification.
- Support inventory, material receiving and general production activities as required.
- Maintain a clean, organized and safe work area.
- Work closely with the Workshop Supervisor and production team to meet customer expectations.
Equipment You'll Work With
You will have the opportunity to work with a variety of equipment, including:
- New Haas CNC machining centre
- Manual milling machines
- Engine lathe
- Drill press and deburring equipment
- Precision measuring equipment including calipers, micrometers and gauges
- Hydraulic cylinder assembly and testing equipment
What We're Looking For
- Manufacturing experience in a mechanical production environment.
- Mechanical aptitude with hands-on experience operating CNC and conventional machine tools.
- Experience setting and adjusting cutting tools on CNC milling machines and/or lathes (Tool Setter).
- Mechanical assembly experience.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings.
- Experience using precision measuring instruments and performing quality inspections.
- Demonstrated integrity, accountability and a commitment to producing high-quality work.
- Confident asking questions and seeking clarification when unsure rather than making assumptions.
- Comfortable working independently while contributing to a small, collaborative team.
- Willingness to learn new equipment, processes and responsibilities.
Nice to Have
- Hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic component assembly experience.
- Haas CNC experience.
- Experience with deburring, finishing or light fabrication.
- Inventory or material handling experience.
Why Join?
- $26.00 - $30.00 per hour, based on experience.
- Health benefits.
- RRSP program.
- Paid vacation.
- Full-time, permanent position.
- Opportunity to grow your skills while supporting the launch of a new Haas CNC machining centre.
- Small team environment where your ideas and contributions make a real impact.
- Ongoing support from an established global manufacturer with operations in Europe, Asia, South America and North America.
Join a Team That Values Quality
This is an opportunity to become part of a growing Canadian manufacturing operation that is building its reputation on quality, teamwork and continuous improvement. Every employee is trusted to inspect their own work, take ownership of quality, and speak up whenever something doesn't look right.
If you're mechanically inclined, committed to doing the job right, and looking for a long-term opportunity where your work truly matters, we'd like to hear from you.
Thank you for your interest and time. While all applications are reviewed, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. All applications are handled confidentially.
