• Assisting less experienced personnel with work methods, work habits and performance; and

• Maintaining a set of tools to perform machining functions.

The successful candidate must be a qualified licensed tradesperson in the Province of Alberta, and the position would suit applicants who have their Journeyman Certification and have several years experience in a similar role.
