Extrusion Operator

Mac Donald Search Group is proud to partner with a very successful Port Coquitlam manufacturing company in its search for an Extrusion Machine Operator. In business for over 50 years, our client has a reputation as a great place to work and build a career. If you are naturally inclined to operate machinery safely and efficiently and want to be a part of high-volume production, this could be a great fit for you.

Our client will provide in-house training to get you up to speed quickly.

The Role:

Precision in Motion

Reporting to the Shift Supervisor, you won't just be "watching a machine." You are the pilot of the extrusion process. You’ll take raw designs and blueprints and turn them into high-quality products through expert setup, constant calibration, and sharp troubleshooting.

Your Day-to-Day Impact

The Setup:
Interpret blueprints and diagrams to prep and secure your machinery. You’ll be responsible for setting up and operating one or more lines pushing out precision plastic composites.

The Switch:
Expertly change dies to keep the production flow seamless during line changes.

The Fix:
You’re the first line of defense. You’ll troubleshoot, maintain, and perform minor repairs to keep the gears turning.

The Standard:
Monitor product quality with an eagle eye—if it’s not perfect, it doesn’t ship.

The Digital Trace:
Stay organized by reliably signing in and out of jobs using our client's system.

The Workspace:
Maintain a clean, inventory-ready zone and follow safety protocols like they’re second nature.

What You Bring to the Table

Experience:

You’ve spent several years in a manufacturing environment (as an operator, helper, or packer). You know the rhythm of a shop floor.

Technical Literacy:
You can read a blueprint and speak the language of diagrams.

Dexterity:
You’ve got the manual skills and "finger dexterity" to handle delicate adjustments and heavy-duty tool changes alike.

The Growth Mindset:
You’re hungry to learn. Our client's in-house apprenticeship program is a huge perk, and you’re ready to dive in.

Reliability:
You understand the importance of Fire, Emergency, and Safety procedures. You’re the person the team can count on in any situation.

The Must-Haves

High School Diploma (or equivalent experience).

Fluency in English.

A sharp eye for detail and a "safety-first" brain.

Our client will offer more than just a paycheck in PoCo. They offer a career path. Whether you are an experienced pro or a seasoned helper looking to step up, they provide the on-the-job training to ensure you become an expert in the extrusion field.
