Job description
Founded in 2008 and privately held, Harmac Pacific Pulp operates a Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft pulp mill on the east coast of Vancouver Island, near Nanaimo, BC.

The future of Harmac Pacific Pulp continues to look bright. Through extensive capital investments, the organization has made significant improvements to productivity and reliability.
