We are committed to inclusive hiring practices and value diversity in the workplace. While this role is based in Ontario, our client operates nationally; therefore, bilingualism or the ability to communicate effectively with remote technical teams in Quebec is considered an asset.

• Maintain high-pressure steam systems and pressure vessels in strict accordance with TSSA regulations.
• Troubleshoot and repair equipment involving PLCs (Omron, Siemens, Allen Bradley) and HMIs.
• Maintain a 50/50 split between mechanical and electrical tasks.
• Utilize MIG, TIG, Flux, Arc, and Stick welding to repair or modify machinery and ducting.
• Independently source local suppliers for parts and manage the on-site spare parts inventory.
• Monitor and maintain hydraulics, pneumatics, silos, airveyors, and CNC hot-wire cutting equipment.

Qualifications
• Certification: Valid Ontario 433A Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) License is mandatory.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in an industrial manufacturing environment.
• Technical Knowledge: Proven expertise in high-pressure steam systems and pressure vessel maintenance.
• Industry Background: Experience in plastics, foam, chemical, or packaging industries is highly preferred.
• Travel: Ability to travel to Montreal for an initial 2-week training period.
• Compliance: Employment is conditional upon a clear criminal background check and professional reference checks.

Summary
This is a rare opportunity for a licensed Millwright to take full ownership of a brand-new production line and act as a technical leader within a growing facility. If you are a self-starter with a background in high-pressure systems and a desire for long-term stability, we encourage you to apply. Our hiring process includes an initial virtual screening, followed by a technical site tour in Whitby and a meeting with the Maintenance Chief.
