Full-time | Monday to Friday | Day Shift
Solve Problems. Deliver Results. Make an Impact.
We are an established food manufacturer in Montreal looking for an experienced Senior Industrial Maintenance Technician / Maintenance Supervisor to play a key role in the reliability and performance of our production facility.
This is a hands-on role working closely with our Operations Leadership team. You’ll be responsible for maintaining and improving our production equipment while helping build a proactive, organized maintenance program that supports safe, efficient, and reliable operations.

You’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact by improving equipment reliability, completing meaningful projects, and helping build a maintenance function that supports a growing business.

- Follow all Lockout/Tagout procedures.
- Maintain documentation required for audits and regulatory compliance.
- Help maintain a clean, safe, and food-safe maintenance environment.
