Job details

Industrial Maintenance Technician Job Type: Full-time | Permanent | In-Office Salary: $80,000 - $90,000 Location: Victoria, BC About Us: At BAUCO Access Panel Solutions Inc., we believe in treating people the way we would like to be treated and creating an environment where your expertise and passion can stand out. As a result, we pride ourselves in being the most customer-responsive access panel company in the industry. Founded in 1995, BAUCO is a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality, customizable architectural access panels and grilles. We are known for innovation, precision, and service excellence. Our integrated model allows us to deliver fast lead times, custom solutions, and responsive support directly to job sites locally and across North America. Our products are featured in landmark projects such as the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Wilshire Grand Hotel in Los Angeles. About the Role: The Industrial Maintenance Technician is responsible for keeping our production equipment, facilities, and workspaces safe, reliable, and effective. This is a hands-on role for someone who can troubleshoot problems, complete repairs, perform preventative maintenance, build practical improvements, and take ownership of the physical systems that support day-to-day operations. This role will report to our General Manager, and work day-to-day with our Manufacturing and General Services team. There will also be support from a host of qualified and specialized contracts as needed. We work with a variety of tools, forklifts and lift trucks, welders, ventilation and filtration systems - just to name a few! The role combines manufacturing equipment maintenance with facilities work, fabrication, workspace improvements, and project support. As BAUCO grows, this position will also play an important role in equipment installations, facility changes, warehouse setup, and commissioning new machinery. Every improvement made in this role makes us more productive, safer, and better organized. A Day in the Life: You are someone who notices what needs attention and takes initiative rather than waiting to be assigned every task. You enjoy troubleshooting, building, fixing, and improving things, and you take pride in leaving equipment and work areas better than you found them. You approach problems methodically, know when to bring in outside expertise, and balance immediate repairs with longer-term preventative priorities. You enjoy a varied role, where no two days are exactly the same. Typical working hours would be Monday - Friday, 8 am - 4:30 pm, with flexibility for emergency repairs, scheduled equipment shutdowns or weekend project work outside standard business hours. Your day-to-day responsibilities include: Manufacturing Equipment Maintenance & Troubleshooting * Responding to equipment breakdowns and production maintenance issues promptly, with a focus on restoring equipment safely and minimizing downtime * Systematically diagnosing mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic faults and determining the appropriate repair or next step * Troubleshooting industrial electrical components and controls within the limits of your training and qualifications, including motors, sensors, switches, relays, and contactors * Reading and using equipment manuals, mechanical drawings, and electrical schematics to support troubleshooting and repairs * Investigating recurring failures, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions rather than repeatedly treating symptoms * Making recommendations for equipment repairs, modifications, upgrades, or replacement when appropriate Preventative Maintenance & Equipment Reliability * Performing scheduled preventative maintenance according to manufacturer recommendations and BAUCO maintenance schedules * Maintaining accurate maintenance records, PM checklists, equipment history, and service documentation * Helping develop and continuously improve preventative maintenance schedules based on equipment condition, service history, and observed failure patterns * Identifying critical spare parts and consumables and helping maintain appropriate inventory to reduce avoidable downtime Building & Facilities * Performing repairs and maintenance throughout the facility, including doors, shelving, fixtures, lighting, and other building components * Identifying facility issues before they become larger problems and prioritizing work based on safety, operational impact, and urgency * Coordinating repairs or upgrades requiring outside contractors and verifying that work is completed appropriately * Supporting office renovations, workspace reconfigurations, warehouse expansions, and facility improvement projects Shop Improvements, Fabrication & Projects * Designing, building, and installing workbenches, shelving, storage systems, fixtures, and production aids * Supporting planning, preparation, and setup for new production equipment — including delivery, installation, utility requirements, startup, and commissioning * Participating in continuous improvement initiatives with production and other departments to improve workflow, uptime, safety, and ergonomics * Ensuring manuals, spare parts lists, and service information are captured when new equipment is commissioned Safety & Work Practices * Following all machine safety, lockout/tagout (LOTO), electrical safety, and safe-work procedures at all times * Recognizing when work requires a licensed trade or specialist and coordinating appropriate outside support * Keeping maintenance work areas, tools, parts, and materials organized and safe * Communicating equipment status, risks, and expected downtime clearly to affected employees and production teams What You’ll Need to Succeed: Practical experience and demonstrated capability matter more to us than any single trade designation. We are looking for someone with broad mechanical skills and strong industrial troubleshooting ability who can take real ownership of this role. * Hands-on maintenance experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or similarly equipment-intensive environment * Strong mechanical troubleshooting, repair, and general maintenance skills * Industrial electrical troubleshooting experience and the ability to safely diagnose common electrical and control issues within the limits of your training * Ability to read equipment manuals, mechanical drawings, and electrical schematics * Experience performing and documenting preventative maintenance * Strong understanding of machine safety, energy isolation, and lockout/tagout practices * Ability to plan, prioritize, and complete work independently while supporting the needs of production and the broader facility * Good communication, organization, and documentation skills * The ability to work with production employees, office staff, managers, contractors and equipment suppliers Strong Assets * Electrical certification or another relevant skilled-trade designation * Experience troubleshooting PLC-controlled equipment, motor controls, sensors, and industrial control systems * Welding, fabrication, machining, or related shop skills * Experience installing, relocating, and commissioning production equipment * Experience coordinating contractors, service technicians, and equipment vendors * Experience supporting facility expansions, warehouse setup, or manufacturing layout changes Working Conditions * Work is performed primarily on-site across production, shop, warehouse, office and facility areas. * The role involves regular use of hand and power tools and working around operating machinery and industrial equipment. * The position requires following appropriate PPE, lockout/tagout and safe-work practices. * Some maintenance or project work may need to be completed outside normal production activity to safely access equipment or minimize operational disruption. * The role requires the physical ability to perform hands-on maintenance work, including standing, bending, reaching, climbing and handling tools and materials appropriate to the task. What We offer: * Competitive hourly wage plus participation in the company bonus program * Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision care with 100%-employer-paid premiums * Flexible paid vacation * Continuous learning and professional development * Consistent performance management process * Monthly peer recognition celebrations, staff meals, and social events How to Apply: Please submit your application via our secure online portal at your convenience.
