Millwright

Millwright is a hands-on mechanical specialist who supports complex preventive maintenance, major repairs, and overhaul activities and assists Maintainers during challenging breakdowns.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute complex PMs and precision mechanical work on can-making and ancillary equipment per standards and safe practices. Lead/support major overhauls: tear-down, inspection, measurement, rebuild, alignment, lubrication, and startup verification.
• Support breakdowns: diagnose root causes, develop safe repair plans, and restore stable operation. Perform advanced mechanical troubleshooting and document findings and corrective actions.
• Coordinate with Electricians/Controls, recognizing when support is required for safe, efficient repairs. Work with Planning and Stores to review jobs, confirm parts/tools, and improve work packages.
• Use eMaint to manage work orders, record work and measurements, and maintain accurate parts transactions. Escalate equipment, safety, and quality risks; collaborate cross-functionally to resolve issues.
• Maintain high standards of housekeeping, 5S, guarding, and workmanship. Drive continuous improvement: enhance reliability, PMs, and share learnings. Develop Maintainer-level capability within 12 months (operation support, setups, basic PMs, troubleshooting).
• Complete onboarding/shadowing to learn equipment, QA, and site standards. Demonstrate strong craftsmanship, safe habits, and proactive learning.

Safety & Compliance (Non‑Negotiable)

• Adhere to all safety procedures at all times; stop work and escalate unsafe conditions.
• Apply LOTO and verify zero energy before working on equipment.
• Maintain proper guarding, use tools safely, and never bypass safety devices. Follow PPE, working-at-heights, housekeeping, and hazard reporting requirements.
• Comply with quality standards and prevent contamination

Qualifications

• Licensed Industrial Millwright and/or Machinist (Red Seal or equivalent).
• 3–5 years’ hands-on maintenance experience in industrial/manufacturing (high-speed preferred).
• Strong mechanical fundamentals: bearings, lubrication, drives, gearboxes, pneumatics/hydraulics, alignment, precision measurement, and rigging.
• Practical fabrication/repair skills: welding, drilling, grinding, and use of shop equipment; manual machining (lathe, drill press, mills) is an asset.
• Able to read/interpret drawings and document work clearly.
• Basic electrical/controls awareness to support safe troubleshooting coordination.
• Committed to safety, procedures, and continuous improvement.
• Proficient with digital systems for work orders and parts (e.g., Emaint).

Preferred

• Prior experience with metal packaging/can making equipment or other high-speed converting/packaging equipment.
• Experience with planned maintenance systems (CMMS), precision rebuilds, and structured PM programs.
• Ability to mentor others informally and work effectively across shifts.
