Job Description & How to Apply Below
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.
