-
Inspect, adjust, and replace mechanical components such as belts and other wear parts as needed.
-
Focus a significant portion of time on maintaining and repairing multiple veneer dryers, addressing issues that may arise approximately once per week.
-
Troubleshoot mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and other industrial systems to diagnose root causes and implement effective solutions.
-
Support a variety of maintenance tasks that may not always be specific to the millwright trade, including general facility upkeep such as sweeping floors or assisting other mechanical work as needed.
-
Collaborate with production and maintenance colleagues as an integrated team to improve equipment performance and overall plant efficiency.
-
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives aimed at maximizing production throughput and product quality.
-
Use personal tools and equipment in accordance with safety and maintenance standards.
-
Work overtime and occasional weekends when required to support production needs and complete critical maintenance tasks.

Why Work Here?
You will join a highly collaborative, well-tenured team that values respect, teamwork, and a positive attitude. The organization offers a strong wage structure with consistent yearly increases, comprehensive benefits including health coverage, vision support, RRSP matching, and prescription safety glasses allowances, and a commitment to long-term employment stability, demonstrated by avoiding layoffs even during challenging periods. The culture is family-oriented, with events such as holiday parties, summer picnics, and family-focused activities like Santa days for children, fostering a sense of community and belonging. You will benefit from a non-union environment where communication is direct, decisions are made quickly, and people work together to support one another and maintain excellent morale.
Work Environment
This role is based in a busy, fast-paced veneer drying facility with loud, continuously running machinery and a dusty atmosphere. You will work primarily on a day shift, Monday to Friday from approximately 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with the expectation of flexibility to move into schedules such as 4x10 or possibly 4x12 shifts, all on morning schedules. Overtime and some weekend work may be required to support production and maintenance needs, and statutory holidays are generally worked unless booked off in advance, with Christmas as the primary shutdown day. The total team size is around 110 employees including production, with a dedicated maintenance team of about 19 people who are experienced, cooperative, and work very well together. The environment is multicultural and inclusive, and you will be expected to be comfortable working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Appropriate industrial work attire and personal protective equipment are required to work safely in this loud and dusty manufacturing setting.
