What We're Looking For

  • Indentured Millwright in Alberta
  • Minimum 1 year of hands‑on experience in electrical and / or millwright maintenance, ideally within an industrial or manufacturing setting
  • Solid understanding of electrical systems, including PLC programming and troubleshooting
  • Strong working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code and commitment to regulatory compliance

  • Analytical Approach : Apply strong problem‑solving and root‑cause analysis skills to resolve equipment issues and recommend long‑term solutions.
  • Continuous Improvement : Own daily 5S activities, maintain a clean and organized workspace, and actively contribute ideas to improve processes and equipment performance.
  • Proactive Engagement : When unexpected problems occur, take initiative to become part of the solution—identifying causes, proposing fixes, and driving implementation.
  • Accountability : Verify completed work with the Head Coach or Assistant Coach and ensure all required documentation is accurate and up to date.
  • Training Commitment : Complete all assigned training modules on or before due dates, keeping certifications and knowledge current.
  • Flexibility : Perform additional maintenance or facility‑related tasks as assigned by the Head Coach to support overall plant performance.

  • Work-Life Balance : Enjoy a compressed workweek and get a jump start on your weekend!
  • Social Fun : Be part of our monthly Social Club—think wing nights, hockey games, family events, BBQs, golf tournaments, and much more!
  • Generous Benefits : A comprehensive benefits package for you and your family, because we care about your well‑being.
  • RRSP Matching to help you build a strong financial future.
  • Delicious Perks : Access to our in‑house cafeteria, serving fresh, hot breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily!
  • Living Wage Employer : Proud to be a certified Living Wage Employer and recognized by HRDC as one of the Best Places to Work 2024 & 2025!
