Millwright

We are recruiting industrial millwrights and maintenance mechanics for manufacturing, food and packaging plants in Brampton.

Plants hire millwrights through us for shutdowns, for backlog and to fill permanent seats in the maintenance department.

We verify your certification and references before you are introduced.

• $29.00 to $38.00 an hour. A 433A licence, PLC troubleshooting and continental-shift availability pay at the top of the range.
• Day, afternoon and night shifts; maintenance departments often run continental rotations
• Overtime is common during shutdowns and breakdowns
• Overtime paid at time and a half after 44 hours in a week
• Offered as: contract, temp-to-perm and permanent. While you are on assignment through us, Assured is your employer and pays you.

The work environment

• A recruiter you can phone seven days a week
• Never a fee. Employers pay for our service, not you

Where the work is in Brampton

• Bramalea: an established industrial park of manufacturing, food processing and parts distribution.

Most Brampton sites are on or near a Züm express route: the 511 along Steeles, the 505 along Bovaird and the 501 along Queen. Bramalea GO, on the Kitchener line, is a short bus ride from the Steeles and Airport Road sites. Service thins out late in the evening, so tell your recruiter how you travel before taking a night shift. Parking is free at essentially every site.

These roles also suit people living in Bramalea, Springdale, Malton and Caledon.
