Millwright

Bimbo Canada is looking for a skilled Millwright to join an on-site maintenance team in Calgary, Alberta. This is a full-time, permanent role with an afternoon or night, rotating schedule that keeps pace with a busy food manufacturing operation. The team works behind the scenes to keep production lines running safely and efficiently, with a strong emphasis on quality and adherence to safety standards. The employer behind Bimbo Bakehouse is part of Grupo Bimbo, a large global baking company, and this role sits at the heart of a leading North American baker supply operation.

If you enjoy hands-on mechanical work in a manufacturing setting and like the idea of growing your skills through formal training, this could be a good fit. You’ll be part of a company that values its people and offers opportunities for career advancement, including education opportunities that can support dual-ticket training. While the posted address in the original material is in Etobicoke, Ontario, this listing is for a Calgary-based, on-site position with a similar scope.

Day-to-day, you’ll work to keep equipment running, performing preventive maintenance, diagnosing faults, and performing timely repairs on production lines. Expect to troubleshoot mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems, execute alignments and calibrations, and assist with line changes as needed. Your work will be logged in the maintenance system to track tasks and results, and you’ll collaborate with operators and other maintenance staff to minimize downtime while following strict safety and GMP guidelines. The role also involves following lockout/tagout procedures and contributing to a safe work environment through proper safety practices and compliance.

Maintaining momentum on the plant floor

On a typical shift, you’ll leverage available tools and PPE to service and repair equipment, perform routine inspections, and support continuous improvement efforts on the line. You’ll need to stay organized, document work clearly, and engage with the safety team to ensure policies are followed. Your efforts will help sustain product quality and keep production targets within reach, all while maintaining clean and compliant work areas consistent with food safety requirements.

What you’ll bring to the role

• 433A Millwright license is required
• Experience in food manufacturing or an industrial setting is a strong asset
• Familiarity with a Computerized Maintenance Management System is a plus
• Solid commitment to safety, with the ability to enforce lockout/tagout and ensure GMP and health and safety policies are followed

• Interest in pursuing additional training through the company’s programs, including dual-ticket education

Pay, benefits and practical details

The compensation package includes a base hourly rate of $43.55, plus a night shift premium of $1.00 per hour and a weekend premium of $1.00 per hour. There are additional premiums for holding dual tickets ($2.50 per hour) and for triple-ticket coverage ($5.00 per hour). A safety boots reimbursement of $150 is available, and tools are provided by the company. You’ll also receive paid overtime, PPE and uniforms, and a comprehensive benefits package along with a recognition and rewards program.

Schedule-wise, the role is on-site in Calgary with afternoon or night shifts on a rotating continental schedule. The position is full-time and permanent. The employer notes that offers are conditional on the successful completion of a pre-hire background check, which may include checks of criminal history, references, and other items as permitted by law.

Advice for applicants

Lead with your 433A Millwright license right up front in your resume so it’s unmistakable to the recruiter and hiring team.

Back up your must-haves with concrete examples of safety compliance on the shop floor. Describe a time you enforced lockout/tagout or contributed to GMP compliance in a food manufacturing setting, including any quantifiable outcomes.

Be ready to talk about your experience with maintenance management software. If you’ve used a CMMS to track work orders, preventive tasks, or maintenance history, plan to share a specific instance and the impact it had on uptime or production efficiency.

Consider a thoughtful question to ask at interview about growth opportunities, such as how the dual-ticket training program is structured, what kinds of ongoing maintenance training are available, or how the site measures safety performance and timely equipment reliability.
