North Vancouver, BC

$160,000 – $180,000 base + 20% short-term incentive plan

Day shift (6:30 am – 2:30 pm)

Our client located on the Vancouver waterfront is adding a Maintenance Manager to support its continued growth. This is a hands-on leadership role in a flat, empowered organization with very little red tape. You’ll work alongside a close-knit team using new equipment and technology.

What you’ll do

• Lead the full maintenance crew, including millwrights and electricians, as well as the contractors on site
• Plan and assign daily work, starting each morning with a debrief from the night crew and the 24/7 operations team
• Oversee contractor work across rail, elevators, HVAC, plumbing and fabrication
• Manage permits and safe work practices, including hot work, working at heights and confined space
• Handle the administrative side of maintenance: purchasing, receiving and vendor management
• Support labour relations for the hourly workforce, including interviews and discipline
• Work with regulators such as Technical Safety BC (pressure vessels and boilers) and the Canadian Grain Commission
• Use a mobile CMMS on tablets and smartphones, with no paper work orders

What you bring

• A strong mechanical background as a Millwright, Mechanical Technologist or Mechanical Engineer, with hands-on industrial maintenance experience
• Supervisory or management experience in an industrial setting such as pulp and paper, heavy industry, process plants or port terminals
• Comfort leading a mixed crew of trades and contractors
• Confidence making decisions independently and taking on the admin that comes with the role
• Clear, professional communication with regulators, contractors and your team
• A collaborative, team-first approach to leading people
• Engineers: you must have hands-on plant maintenance experience. This is not a project or design role.

Nice to have

• Experience with permit systems, contractor management and regulated equipment such as pressure vessels and boilers
• Experience in a unionized environment, with a balanced, constructive approach to labour relations

What’s on offer

• $160,000 – $180,000 base salary plus a 20% short-term incentive plan
• A day-shift schedule with no rotating shifts
• A brand-new facility and modern technology
• A flat, empowered team where you can make change happen quickly
• Broad, varied work across maintenance leadership, contractors, regulators and purchasing
