• Operate and work from scissor lifts and other access platforms as required to complete work at heights.

• Perform tasks on elevated platforms and in industrial construction environments while adhering to all safety procedures.

• Follow detailed mechanical drawings, measurements, and layout requirements using levels, squares, and measuring tapes.

• Handle materials, components, and equipment in a heavy‑duty construction or industrial environment.

• Collaborate with team members to coordinate installation steps and resolve mechanical or alignment issues on site.

• Maintain a clean and organized work area, ensuring tools and equipment are used and stored safely.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times and follow site‑specific safety rules and protocols.

• Bring and use the required personal tool kit, including socket and wrench sets, screwdrivers, hammers, mallets, levels, squares, pry bars, adjustable wrenches, measuring tape, Allen keys, and drifts.

• Operate forklifts and other material handling equipment if licensed and assigned, supporting movement of parts and assemblies.

• Identify potential safety hazards and report or address them promptly to maintain a safe work environment.

• Adapt to changing schedules and extended hours, including overtime, to meet project milestones and deadlines.

• Minimum of 3+ years of experience in conveyor installation, construction labour, millwright work, welding, or similar mechanical roles.

• Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to understand and execute mechanical assembly tasks.

• Proven experience using hand and power tools in an industrial or construction environment.

• Background in heavy‑duty construction or industrial settings, with familiarity working around large equipment and structures.

• Experience working at heights and on elevated platforms such as scissor lifts.

• Ability to work safely on an active construction site and follow all safety procedures.

• Comfort working as part of a team to complete complex mechanical installations.

• Capability to read measurements and use basic layout tools such as levels, squares, and measuring tapes.

• Physical ability to perform manual labour, including lifting, positioning, and securing mechanical components.

• Reliable attendance and flexibility to work extended hours, including up to 60 hours per week during peak periods.

• Experience with conveyor systems, mechanical assembly, or similar industrial installation work.

• Forklift experience and a valid forklift license for at least one in every three workers on the team.

• Experience operating aerial work platforms (AWP), such as boom lifts or scissor lifts, is a strong asset.

• Certification to operate scissor lifts (required; all workers must be certified before starting).

• Experience in millwrighting, welding, or mechanical trades is considered an asset.

• Ability to work with basic controls and understand the interaction between mechanical and control systems.

• Comfort working in a fast‑paced project environment with changing schedules and priorities.

• Personal tool kit meeting the minimum standard, including: socket set (7/16 to 3/4), wrench set (7/16 to 3/4), screwdriver set, hammer, rubber mallet, 6 torpedo level, square, small pry bar, adjustable wrenches (10 and 12), measuring tape…
