Full-Time | Permanent
Shift-Based Role |

• Multiple Positions Available 
• Variety of levels from Junior through to Senior/Lead Engineers.

A major automated distribution and production facility in Brantford, Ontario is continuing to expand its resident engineering function and is seeking multiple Resident Maintenance Engineers to join the permanent on-site engineering team.

This is an opportunity to join a flagship, highly automated operation supporting a complex live production and warehouse environment incorporating ASRS, robotics, conveyors, pallet handling systems, automated cranes, stackers/destackers, scanning, wrapping, and integrated materials handling technologies.

The site represents a major long-term investment and forms a key part of a wider strategic automation programme, making this an excellent opportunity for engineers seeking long-term progression, exposure to advanced automation technology, and involvement in a high-profile engineering environment.

We are interested in speaking with candidates across multiple levels of seniority, from strong hands-on maintenance engineers through to more experienced team leadership profiles.

The Role of Resident Maintenance Engineer

The Resident Maintenance Engineer will form part of the permanent on-site engineering team responsible for supporting the performance, reliability, and continuous operation of the automated facility.

Responsibilities will include:

• Reactive mechanical and electrical fault finding across automated systems
• Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
• Supporting commissioning and operational ramp-up activities
• Diagnosing faults across conveyors, robotics, cranes, pallet systems, scanners, and automated handling equipment
• Safe isolation and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures
• Working at height across elevated automation systems and structures
• Supporting system optimisation and reliability improvements
• Producing clear maintenance reports and fault documentation
• Working closely with operations, controls, and engineering teams within a fast-paced live environment

Automation Environment

Engineers will gain exposure to a wide range of automated technologies including:

• ASRS / mini-load crane systems
• Conveyor systems (belt, roller, chain, accumulation, divert)
• Robotics and automated palletising systems
• Automated pallet handling systems
• Stackers/destackers
• Automated wrapping systems
• Barcode, scanning, and inline automation technologies
• PLC-controlled industrial automation systems
