Millwrights, Senior and Junior: Automated Distribution Centre Build
Opportunity to earn strong income in a short period of time. Expect 11-hour days, 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday) for the length of the project. Overtime is paid after 8 hours in a day and after 40 hours in a week. If you are ready to put in a big winter and want to be part of a high-tech build from start to finish, we want to hear from you.
We are hiring skilled millwrights to help assemble and commission automated sortation machines at a new distribution centre in Pitt Meadows, BC. This is a 3.5-month project running December 1, 2026 to March 15, 2027, with Christmas to New Year's off.
Senior Millwrights (Crew Leads)
- Lead and oversee crews of junior millwrights during assembly
- Track incoming material and make sure parts are counted and ready for production
- Do basic wiring, connecting scan tunnels and long-return and short-return sections, and routing cable through the wireway to the main control panel
- Anchor control panels, modules, walls and scan tunnel sections
Junior Millwrights (Apprentice to Mid-Level). Apprentices welcome.
- Handle all bolt-up work and mechanical assembly of sortation machines
- Test and troubleshoot machinery
- Work carefully on precise, low-torque fasteners that strip easily, since these machines use much smaller components than typical material handling systems
Tools you'll use: standard hand tools, 1/4" impact drivers, hammer drills for anchoring, and basic wiring and cable-pulling tools.
What we are looking for
- A millwright, machine assembly or basic electrical background
- Red Seal millwright certification preferred for senior roles; apprentices welcome for junior roles
- Sharp attention to detail
- Ability to lift 50 lb and stay on your feet most of the day
Pay: $42 to $52 per hour. Based on skills and experience.
Condition of hire: Pass a criminal background check. Must be legally entitled to work for any employer in Canada.
