Our journey began with a focus on the healthcare sector, where we became leaders in manufacturing recycling single-use protective equipment. Today, we apply our expertise and innovative spirit to broader challenges, developing advanced technologies, sustainable practices, and innovative manufacturing processes that redefine what is possible across various industries.

About the Role :

The successful apprentice will gain exposure to a huge variety of tasks – custom part fabrication, equipment repair, prototyping, installations, and one-off builds.

Responsibilities include :

  • Design and manufacture custom parts for production, engineering, and R&D needs.

  • Assist with installations, fabrication projects, and ad hoc builds.
  • Participate in continuous learning, applying theoretical training to hands-on work.
  • Provide support wherever needed in a dynamic manufacturing environment, gaining exposure to many technical areas.

Skills and Qualifications :

  • High school diploma required.
  • Completion of a pre-apprenticeship machinist program (1-year) OR currently a 1st or 2nd year machining apprentice.
  • Strong interest in mechanical systems and fabrication.
  • Ability to run or willingness to learn :
  • Manual lathe

  • Manual milling machines
  • Surface grinder
  • General shop and precision hand tools
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawing.
  • Ability to use precision measuring tools (e.g., micrometers, calipers, gauges)
  • Curious, resourceful mindset – comfortable creating parts that don’t exist yet and solving novel engineering problems.
  • Reliable, safety-conscious, and able to work with people across many departments.
  • Strong communication skills; asks questions early and seeks clarity when needed.
  • Bonus Consideration : Millwright / Industrial Mechanic apprentices with manual machining experience.
  • Not a Fit : CNC-only machinists
  • Compensation :

  • $23 CAD per hour.
  • Health & Dental benefits.
  • 2 weeks paid vacation.
  • Tuition Assistance Program.
  • Multiple company events throughout the year.
  • If you are interested in joining our team, please send your resume and your salary expectation to hr@vitacore.com with the subject line of “ Machinist Apprentice – Application ”. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
