Full Transparency: We Work a Little Differently Around Here.

This isn't just another job where you punch in and punch out. We come to work every day because we strive to earn a living in a meaningful way.

Ability to bend and kneel as required.
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
Ability to work independently while also supporting senior technicians and contributing as part of a team.

The following qualifications are not required, but would be considered an asset.

Previous hands-on experience with manufacturing equipment, machinery, or industrial maintenance.
Exposure to CNC machines, press brakes, or other manufacturing equipment.
Experience working with mechanical, pneumatic, or electrical systems through coursework, labs, previous employment, or personal projects.
Familiarity with preventative maintenance practices.
Experience working in a manufacturing, industrial, mechanical, or shop environment.

What Success Looks Like

By the end of your 16-week work term, you will:

Develop a practical understanding of preventative maintenance in a manufacturing environment.
Safely and confidently use common hand and power tools.
Build familiarity with mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical systems used throughout our facility.
Assist senior technicians with routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting tasks.
Demonstrate strong safety awareness and maintain clean, organized work areas.
Build productive working relationships with maintenance technicians and other team members.
