At Groupe Paco, mechanical engineering takes amazing forms. Our teams design lifting systems for entertainment stages (Gala Systèmes), movable floors for swimming pools (Akvo Spiralift), and custom-made industrial machines (Paco Spiralift). Technologies developed here in Quebec, on Montreal's South Shore, are now used all over the world. Here, there's no mass production: each project presents its own technical challenges and requires adapting solutions to the client's needs. It's this diversity that makes the work stimulating and allows our engineers to fully contribute their expertise. Many of our products incorporate patented technologies developed by our teams, making them unique. As a Mechanical Development Project Engineer, you will act as the technical lead for several projects simultaneously.
