About Apex Staffing Solutions
Apex Staffing Solutions is a Canadian recruitment agency placing candidates at manufacturing employers across Atlantic Canada and beyond. Founded in 1995, the team works with employer clients of all sizes, from small independents to multi-site operators, to fill roles quickly with vetted candidates.
About the role
You'll keep production equipment running: troubleshooting breakdowns on conveyors, pumps, gearboxes, hydraulics, and pneumatics, and getting lines back up fast. You'll carry out preventive maintenance schedules, read hydraulic and mechanical drawings, perform precision alignment and bearing replacement, and fabricate or fit parts when needed. You'll log work in the maintenance system and flag recurring failures so root causes get fixed instead of patched.
What you'll bring
You bring millwright-level skills, calm systematic troubleshooting under production pressure, and respect for lockout and machine-guarding procedures. You're comfortable on rotating shifts and being on call, and you'd rather fix a failure's cause than reset the same fault weekly.
Apex Staffing Solutions manages this search. After applying, expect a brief phone screen with one of our recruiters before an interview with the client. We protect your information and only share it once you have consented.
Required Qualifications
- Industrial mechanic (millwright) certification or equivalent experience
- Strong troubleshooting skills across mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems
- Ability to read technical drawings and perform precision alignment
- Eligibility to work in Canada
Benefits
- Continuing-education funding for trade certifications
- RRSP matching to 5%
- Tool and boot allowance
- Three weeks paid vacation
