General Laborer - Morning Shift

Modine Manufacturing Company is seeking a General Laborer for the morning shift at its Calgary, CA site. This full-time, onsite role sits on the production floor, moving between different areas and using a range of hand and power tools to support production. Modine has a long history in thermal management and operates globally with more than 13,000 employees, focused on cleaner air, conserving resources and enabling efficient, environmentally friendly refrigerants.

The right candidate for this role enjoys practical, hands-on work and can maintain a steady pace in a manufacturing environment. The morning hours run from 6:00am to 2:30pm, Monday through Friday, offering a stable daytime schedule that suits those who prefer a clear routine and predictable hours.

The steady rhythm of a working morning

On the shop floor you’ll move across different production zones, assembling and adjusting components with a variety of hand and power tools, and you may be asked to read tape measures or operate drills as needed. The work demands you can lift up to 50 pounds, stay focused while multitasking on a busy line, and arrive on time consistently. There’s an understanding that overtime on weekdays or weekends may be necessary to meet production goals.

The schedule for this role is the morning shift, 6:00am to 2:30pm, on site in Calgary, CA. There may be overtime requirements beyond the standard shift to meet deadlines. A safety requirement for this position is respirator use; to ensure a proper fit and protection, employees must be clean-shaven where the respirator seals to the face, and compliance with this rule is mandatory for employment. The role also includes the typical physical demands of a manufacturing environment, such as lifting up to 50 pounds.

Advice for applicants tailored to this posting

Lead your resume with what you can actually do on the shop floor: name the hands-on tool experience you have and highlight your ability to read measurements and operate drills.

When you describe your must-have skills, back them up with concrete examples from past roles. If you’ve used hand and power tools or handled tasks requiring precise measurement, mention a project where you completed it accurately and on time, and note any safety training you’ve completed.

Prepare for interviews by detailing how you approach safety on the line, especially around respirator use. Have a short story ready about a time you followed a safety protocol or improved a process on a busy shift, and show you can stay reliable under pressure.

Finally, consider asking about overtime patterns and the onboarding safety training. A smart question to pose is how overtime is scheduled and approved, and what kind of respirator safety training is provided during new-hire orientation.
