Engineering for Industrial Product Design and Manufacturing
As an industrial engineering and manufacturing company from our start in 1913, we have a long history of building robust, quality, and reliable machinery for the wood products industry. Our engineers work with our sales, service, operations, and manufacturing teams, always looking at ways to improve the performance, manufacturability, functionality, and ease of maintenance of our equipment.
Operations, Production, and Skilled Trades
As an industrial manufacturing company, we have exciting and rewarding career opportunities with our shop. This includes machinists, metal fabricators, and millwrights on the shop floor, as well as all the people in procurement, shipping, and quality assurance who manage the flow of materials entering and leaving our facility. Our shop leads with a continuous improvement mindset, promoting a safe, efficient, and rewarding working environment.
Sales, Service, Organizational, and Customer-Facing Support Roles
You don’t get to survive as a company for over 100 years without having a strong sense of customer-facing service and support. At Kadant Carmanah, we have customer-facing individuals who work within our sales, service, engineering, operations, finance, and IT departments. These people represent all the work that needs to happen before and after our products are manufactured in our shop, ensuring our customers are kept informed on pre-delivery timelines, and that their equipment continues to run at peak performance for decades to come.
Field Service and Technical Support
Our field service technicians get to travel the world to oversee the installation, commissioning and startup, inspection and troubleshooting, and hands-on training of our industrial machinery. The background and experience of our team include mechanical and electrical engineers, as well as millwrights, industrial service mechanics and IT professionals. These are perfect opportunities for people who enjoy working around heavy machinery in a mill environment, while solving operational challenges for our customers on-site.
Emerging Technologies and Investigative R&D
We have a dedicated research and development engineering team, as well as a digital transformation and automation team, both working on ways to enhance our machinery with value-added improvements and new product development. These teams include engineers and data scientists from varying backgrounds, working with a customer-focused mindset in collaboration with our sales, service, engineering, operations, and production teams.
Apprentice Programs in the Shop
Within our manufacturing facility, we offer apprentice programs for our millwright, machinist, and metal fabrication teams. Our apprentices train alongside experienced journeyman and red seal technicians, where they can advance in their career while gaining hands-on, rewarding project experience.
Student Co-ops
We offer opportunities for current undergraduate and graduate students that combine technical education with applied work experience in your chosen career field. You’ll take on impactful real-world projects, build your presentation skills, strengthen your analytical and leadership abilities. We are regularly accepting co-op applications for our engineering, research and development, digital transformation and automation, operations, finance, and manufacturing teams.
