Job description

The Shaw Group Limited is one of the 50 Best-Managed Companies in Canada and is one of Eastern Canada's leading natural resource manufacturers and community developers. Our Lantz Site is home to both Shaw Precast Solutions and Shaw Brick divisions.

We are currently hiring a Licensed Millwright-Industrial Mechanic – Drycast Plant.

Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, the candidate will be part of the Shaw Precast Maintenance Team, to plan and carry out heavy machinery maintenance with Safety as the priority, while working with Production Leads, Engineers, and Senior Management.

This role is dedicated to our Drycast Plant, where we make concrete pipe and manholes. You will become our drycast equipment expert: you will assess the plant against its original commissioning condition, lead the work to restore it, and then keep it there through a disciplined preventive maintenance program.

This position requires the successful candidate to be exceptional with machining and precision measurement skills, mechanical trouble shooting and problem-solving skills. The candidate must be customer focused, understand how to prioritize and multi-task with a sense of urgency, as well as be a team player with effective communication skills.

Drycast Plant Focus:

· Become the site’s go-to technical expert on the drycast plant: the pipe and manhole machine, mixing and material handling, conveyors, curing, and forms

· Assess each piece of drycast equipment against OEM specifications and its original commissioning condition, and document the gaps

· With the Maintenance Manager, build and carry out a prioritized plan to bring the plant back to commissioning state, including rebuilds, alignments, calibrations and replacement of worn components

· Work with equipment manufacturers and suppliers to recover and update manuals, drawings, settings, PLC programs and spare parts lists

· Set and document baseline settings, tolerances and calibrations so the plant runs the same way on every shift

· Build and own the drycast preventive maintenance program: inspection routes, lubrication schedules, wear-part replacement intervals and critical spares

· Lead root cause analysis on drycast breakdowns and put fixes in place to stop repeat failures

· Coach drycast operators and lead hands on daily equipment checks and basic care, and support mandrel and form changeovers

· Track and report drycast equipment uptime, breakdowns and planned maintenance completion

Duties are:

· Perform maintenance (including preventative) and repair tasks on industrial machinery and equipment to minimize downtime and ensure optimal functionality

· Troubleshoot and diagnose mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic issues in a timely manner

· Apply knowledge in hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, and preventative maintenance to maintain equipment efficiency

· Analyze equipment performance through inspections and testing, making necessary adjustments for peak performance

· Collaborate with the operations team to address complex issues and implement maintenance strategies

· Interpret schematics to install, repair, or replace components as needed

· Familiarity with logic controllers to program and troubleshoot automated systems

· Maintain accurate records and update work orders in a timely manner (maintenance work orders, safety submissions, etc.).

· Support production employees who carry basic preventative maintenance procedures on equipment.

· Other duties, as required, support and maintain operational requirements.

Requirements are:

· Licensed Millwright-Industrial Mechanic

· Proven experience as an Industrial Mechanic or similar role in an industrial setting

· Proficiency in hydraulics, motors, automation

· Ability to analyze technical problems and provide effective solutions

· Knowledge of industrial maintenance practices and safety regulation

· Familiarity with logic controllers and interpreting schematics

· Experience maintaining concrete pipe, precast or similar heavy production equipment is a strong asset

· Experience with equipment rebuilds, overhauls or commissioning

· Experience building preventive maintenance programs and using a maintenance management system (CMMS)

· Experience with root cause analysis of equipment failures

· Competent in computer skills, including the use of e-mail, the internet, etc.

· Strong attention to detail

· Maintains a high level of integrity and accountability

· Easily adaptable in the field

· Ability to work shift work and overtime as required

· Have solid attendance and clean disciplinary records
