## Engineering TechnicianApply: On-Site: Lively, ON: Full time: Posted Yesterday: R26\\_0000032928**JOB DUTIES*** Design heavy-duty hydraulic systems. Create schematics for mining equipment, including drills, excavators, and conveyor drives.* Develop mechanical blueprints. Produce detailed 2D layouts and 3D CAD models of machinery components using specialized software.* Calculate high-pressure parameters. Determine optimal flow rates, operating pressures, and heat dissipation requirements for deep-mine environments.* Specify harsh-environment components. Select specialized seals, hoses, and valves capable of resisting abrasive mining dust and extreme temperatures.* Integrate electro-hydraulic controls. Partner with automation teams to combine fluid power systems with remote-control or autonomous mining systems.* Build and commission prototypes. Assemble, install, and calibrate new fluid power assemblies before deployment underground or in pits.* Conduct rigorous diagnostic testing. Perform cycle-time analysis, pressure-drop testing, and oil analysis to monitor system health.* Troubleshoot complex mechanical failures. Rapidly diagnose hydraulic pump cavitation, valve stick, or line ruptures to minimize costly mine downtime.* Enforce strict mining safety standards. Ensure all fluid designs comply with Canadian mining regulations and safety frameworks (e.g., CSA, ISO, and provincial mine safety acts).* Document engineering packages. Generate exact Bills of Materials (BOM), preventative maintenance schedules, and safety lockout procedures.* Collaborate with maintenance crews. Provide technical guidance to millwrights and heavy equipment mechanics during complex system overhauls
