Maintenance Intern, Elk Lake, Ontario

Ready

to take what you’re learning in school and put it to work? At Interfor, we’re

looking for future leaders who are curious, hands-on, and eager to learn.

You’ll work side-by-side with experienced professionals, build practical

skills, and gain exposure to the technologies shaping the wood products

industry. If you’re excited to wear work boots, solve real problems, and make

an impact in a tight-knit community, this could be the summer opportunity for

you!

This

is an on-site internship with an anticipated start date in May 2027. Ideally,

you’ll be available for a 4-8month term.

sidelines. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute, grow, and build

experience you can carry into your future career. We offer competitive

compensation for interns, including:

  • Salaries
    starting from $3,700 per month (based on your year in
    school and previous experience).
  • Temporary
    living allowance
    for interns moving to the area for
    the role.

What You’ll Do

  • Gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Learn how industrial maintenance supports safe, reliable, and efficient operations.
  • Contribute to projects focused on equipment reliability, process improvement, and operational performance.
  • Work alongside experienced maintenance and operations professionals to solve real-world challenges.
  • Build technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills while gaining exposure to modern sawmill operations.

What You Offer

  • You are
    working towards a degree or diploma in an industry-related program
    (forestry, supply chain, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,
    industrial engineering).
  • You are
    committed to maintaining a safe work environment.
  • You
    communicate clearly and enjoy collaborating with your team and other
    departments.
  • You are
    interested in hands-on work in an industrial setting.
  • You are
    comfortable using Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook.

Who We Are

At Interfor, our culture is built on integrity, respect, and collaboration. We

believe in giving students meaningful experience, supporting career

development, and operating sustainably to support both our people and

our planet. Come spend your summer learning, contributing, and

discovering where a career in the wood products industry could take you. Learn
