Mechatronics E.I.T.

Team: Operations

Location: Calgary, AB

Commitment: Full Time

Workplace Type: onsite

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have a passion for industry-changing solutions with significant social, economic, and environmental impact 
• Want to grow your career at a growth-stage startup where you’ll get real responsibility early 
• Enjoy hands-on work and learning from experienced engineers, technicians, and trades 
• Are committed to continuous learning at the intersection of several industries 

What you'll do:

• Support the deployment and launch of new manufacturing facilities, helping build and track deployment plans, schedules, and site readiness activities from site preparation through commissioning, production ramp-up, and operational handoff. 

• Assist with technical facility feasibility assessments by gathering information on building infrastructure, utilities, structural capacity, layout constraints, and regulatory requirements. 

• Help define facility utility requirements and support the sizing, specification, procurement, and installation of manufacturing infrastructure, including compressed air, electrical systems, dust collection, ventilation, material handling equipment, and production machinery. 

• Support facility modifications and infrastructure upgrades through day-to-day coordination with contractors, engineering consultants, utility providers, and local trades. 

• Prepare technical specifications, RFP inputs, and procurement documentation, and support equipment purchasing, order tracking, shipment coordination, and receiving. 

• Support the Industrial Engineer in developing production layouts, material flow, and operational workflows that improve safety, throughput, and manufacturing efficiency. 

• Take a hands-on role in mechanical and electrical equipment installation, startup, commissioning, and validation, helping ensure systems meet safety, quality, and performance requirements before operational handoff. 

• Work with cross-functional teams — Engineering, Automation, Robotics, Operations, Safety, IT, and Supply Chain — as well as contractors and vendors to keep deployment activities on track. 

• Act as a point of contact for equipment suppliers, machine builders, contractors, and service providers on assigned tasks. 

• Create and maintain technical documentation, including machine manuals, work instructions, commissioning records, training materials, and equipment acceptance records. 

• Track launch performance using key operational metrics, help identify technical and operational gaps, and support corrective actions during ramp-up. 

• Support CMMS rollout and adoption, including setting up equipment records and preventive maintenance schedules. 

• Help capture lessons learned and contribute to standardized deployment playbooks, commissioning procedures, and best practices for future factory deployments. 

• Travel domestically and internationally as required to support factory deployments, commissioning activities, vendor engagements, and equipment acceptance. 

• Perform other duties as assigned. 

What you'll need to succeed:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics), completed or completing before the start date. 

• 0–2 years of experience; co-op, internship, capstone, and student design team experience all count. 

• Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly and/or wiring of machine components, whether from school, work terms, or personal projects. 

• Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics. 

• Strong attention to detail in documentation, and a willingness to learn specification writing and process control. 

• Hands-on attitude, good organizational skills, and a clear communication style. 

• Ability to juggle multiple tasks and priorities, and to ask for help when needed. 

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where scope evolves. 

• The ability to regularly lift and/or move up to 30 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds. 

• The ability to travel internationally up to 30% of the time. 

• A relentless pursuit of learning and growing in the rapidly changing world of industrial automation. 

Nice to Have: 

• Co-op or internship experience in a manufacturing plant, construction site, or equipment installation setting. 

• Exposure to working with trades, contractors, or equipment vendors. 

• Familiarity with CMMS systems — experience with Limble is a plus. 

• Exposure to PLCs, industrial controls, pneumatics, or robotics. 

• Experience with 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) and/or AutoCAD. 

• Eligible for Engineer-in-Training (EIT) registration with APEGA.
