About the Company
Mahler Machining is one of Western Canada’s leading manufacturers of precision-machined components. Family-owned for over 40 years, and are growing rapidly under new ownership since 2022.
We operate a modern, clean, climate-controlled shop with 20 high-end CNC machines and a 50+ person team across three shifts. Quality is central to everything we do – we’re ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified, supported by a dedicated quality department and CMM inspection capability.
Just as importantly, culture matters here. We value respect, teamwork, ownership, hustle, and doing things right. We’re serious about our work, but we also look out for one another.
About the Role

- Maintaining a clean, safe, and organized workstation and machine.
- Complete basic machine care and routine maintenance.
- Enter production and quality data into our ERP system (ProShop).
What We Are Looking For:
- Minimum 1 year of CNC or manual machine operating experience.
- Ability to read technical drawings and use basic inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, etc.)
- Mechanical aptitude and mindset.
- Comfortable with basic computer use for production tracking.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow instructions.
- Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated.
- Positive attitude and ability to work well within a team.
- Safety-focused and respectful of shop procedures.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment.
Benefits Include:
- $22–26/hour based on experience, with opportunities for overtime.
- Extended health and dental benefits.
- Health and lifestyle spending accounts.
- Life and disability insurance.
- Paid vacation starting at 2 weeks, increasing to 3 weeks after 5 years.
- Five paid sick days.
- Discretionary annual bonus based on individual and company performance.
- Company-provided uniforms and safety equipment.
- Safety boot allowance.
- Company events and team off-sites.
