About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on, mechanically minded individual who enjoys working with tools, solving problems, and learning how things work.
While formal millwright certification is not required, we value practical experience, strong mechanical aptitude, and a genuine commitment to developing your skills.
If you take pride in doing things right, enjoy working with your hands, and want to grow in a supportive, team-based environment — this could be the perfect fit.

- Help with alignment, assembly, and disassembly of mechanical components.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace.
- Contribute to continuous improvement efforts in safety, quality, and efficiency.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong mechanical aptitude — you like to fix, build, and understand how things work.
- Experience using tools or working with equipment (shop, garage, farm, or maintenance setting).
- Ability to follow technical instructions or drawings.
- A positive, reliable attitude and willingness to learn from others.
- Commitment to working safely and producing quality results.
An asset, but not required:
- Experience with welding, machining, or maintenance work.
- Forklift or overhead crane experience.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Learn directly from experienced tradespeople in a supportive and respectful environment.
- Opportunities for skill development and long-term growth within the company.

- Be part of a team that takes pride in craftsmanship, safety, and doing things right the first time.
