Job description

Build the Parts That Keep Heavy-Duty Transportation Moving

Imagine seeing a trailer on the highway, at a mine site, in the forest, or hauling an oversized load—and knowing your work is underneath it.

At KG Industries Ltd., we manufacture specialty heavy‑duty axles for demanding applications across North America and beyond. For more than 45 years, we have combined engineering, precision manufacturing, and hands‑on problem solving to build products our customers can depend on.

We are building a company known as a trusted partner in heavy‑duty transportation.

And every precision‑machined component matters.

Join the Team Advancing Specialty Transportation

You will join our Machine Shop team in Cawston, BC, helping produce the components that go into specialty axle systems built for demanding real‑world applications.

Our mission is to advance specialty transportation through innovative axle engineering, reliability, and customer‑first support.

Your mission as a Machine Operator is to craft precision components and keep production moving efficiently while protecting quality, safety, and teamwork.

This is an evening‑shift position.

If evenings work for your lifestyle and you like focused, hands‑on work where the results of your day are right in front of you, keep reading.

How We Work

We work as one team and stay united behind the strategy.

We learn, adapt, improve, and take precision‑driven action.

We put quality above all while building authentic connections with the people around us.

Still Reading?

Good.

Because this role is not for someone who wants to simply push buttons and wait for the next instruction.

We want someone who notices when something is off.

Someone who cares about getting the measurement right.

Someone who can work independently while still being a strong teammate.

Someone who takes ownership of their machine, their work, their safety, and their results.

Someone who looks for a better way instead of saying:

“That’s how we’ve always done it.”

If you are reading this and thinking:

HELL YEAH.

Keep going.

The CNC MACHINE SHOP OPERATOR – EVENING SHIFT Role Summary

Your job is to produce quality components safely, accurately, and efficiently.

You will operate machinery, use inspection and measuring tools, read drawings, handle and finish parts, complete production paperwork, and help keep work moving through the Machine Shop.

You will be expected to work with a reasonable level of independence while knowing when to ask questions, raise concerns, or get support.

Success means producing parts that meet specifications, keeping machines productive, completing work on time, and contributing to a safe and effective shop.

How You Help Us Advance Specialty Transportation

Our products operate in environments where reliability matters.

That reliability starts here.

It starts with the person operating the machine.

It starts with the measurement being right.

It starts with noticing a problem before it becomes someone else’s problem.

Your precision protects quality.

Your productivity keeps orders moving.

Your attention to safety protects the team.

Your willingness to improve helps us get better.

Six Things You Will LOVE to Do

Operate machines. Set up, run, monitor, and work with machining equipment to produce components accurately and efficiently.
Measure your work. Use inspection and precision measuring tools to confirm parts meet requirements.
Work from drawings. Read and follow drawings, specifications, and production requirements.
Turn raw work into finished parts. Handle, grind, inspect, and prepare components as required through the production process.
Keep accurate records. Complete job paperwork, production information, timesheets, and other required documentation.
Solve problems and improve the process. Notice issues, communicate them early, troubleshoot where appropriate, and contribute ideas that make the shop safer and more efficient.

The Person We Are Looking For

You take pride in doing good work.

You do not need someone standing over your shoulder all evening telling you what comes next.

You are:

Team-oriented. You understand that your work affects the person before you, beside you, and after you.
Self-directed. Once trained, you can stay productive and manage your responsibilities.
Detail-oriented. Measurements, tolerances, drawings, and specifications matter to you.
Reliable. People can count on you to show up and follow through.
Hands‑on. You are comfortable working with equipment, tools, materials, and manufactured parts.
A problem solver. When something does not look right, you investigate instead of ignoring it.
Safety‑minded. You take procedures and hazards seriously.
A clear communicator. You can ask questions, explain issues, and document your work.
Adaptable. Priorities and production requirements can change. You adjust.
Committed to quality. Getting a part out the door is not enough. It needs to be right.
Improvement‑minded. You want to become better at the job and help improve the process around you.

What You Bring

We are looking for someone with:

High school diploma or GED.
Previous manufacturing, machining, or related hands‑on experience.
Comfort using measuring and inspection tools.
Ability to read and follow drawings and instructions.
Strong manual dexterity.
Basic computer skills.
Clear written and verbal communication.
Good problem‑solving ability.
Ability to work independently after training.
Willingness to learn KGI’s equipment, processes, quality requirements, and safety procedures.
