This role is best suited for a mechanically inclined technician who enjoys diagnosing equipment issues, performing preventative maintenance, and supporting production operations. The facility processes recyclable materials using mechanical and automated equipment, and technicians play a key role in keeping systems running safely and efficiently.

Equipment & Production Environment
Technicians work with a range of industrial equipment including:
  • Conveyors
  • Ball mills

  • Basic electrical knowledge
  • Experience working with PLC or HMI systems for troubleshooting or adjustments
  • Mechanical Red Seal training is preferred
  • Basic welding or fabrication knowledge is an asset
  • Previous experience operating forklifts, loaders, or scissor lifts is preferred
Industries that often align well include:
  • Industrial manufacturing
  • Recycling or materials processing
  • Chemical or paint manufacturing
  • Food or ingredient processing
  • Industrial quality assurance environments
Safety & Physical Requirements
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
  • Comfortable working in a physically active environment
