Job description

Join Amrize as a Terminal Operator / Maintenance Lead and help construct what's next. If you're ready to put your skills to work on projects that matter — and build a career with a company that’s building North America — we want to hear from you!

About The Role

We are seeking a safety-focused, experienced Terminal Operator / Maintenance Lead to join our team. This role is built for a versatile industrial professional who brings strong operational safety standards and a continuous improvement mindset to the site.

While you will be responsible for daily terminal operations—including loading/unloading liquid asphalt cement, operating salt loaders and equipment, and managing emulsions—you will also take hands‑on ownership of plant equipment maintenance.

We place a high value on safety, operational excellence, and professional growth. For high‑performers who show dedication, strong leadership on safety, and initiative, we actively invest in your development by providing additional opportunities for specialised training, certifications, and skill advancements.

What You’ll Accomplish

• Safely handle, load, and offload liquid asphalt cement, emulsions, and bulk materials in accordance with Amrize Safe Job Procedures.
• Operate heavy equipment, including loaders, for bulk material handling and salt bagging operations.
• Monitor product storage, temperatures, fluid levels, and transfer systems to prevent contamination or downtime.
• Perform routine preventive and corrective maintenance on plant equipment, pumps, valves, piping, and motors
• Troubleshoot mechanical or operational issues to maximize uptime
• Drive operational excellence by helping to standardize site procedures, housekeeping, and maintenance logs.
• Serve as a site champion for occupational health and safety regulations, safe job procedures (SJPs), and environmental compliance.
• Bring a continuous improvement mindset to daily work – identifying safety or efficiency improvements and helping raise overall plant standards.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.

What We’re Looking For

Education: High school diploma or equivalent

Required Training/Certifications: Driver’s License: Commercial Driver’s License (Class 1, Class 3, or Class 5 with Air Brake endorsement). Occupational First Aid (OFA Level 1 or Level 2 / Basic First Aid). Fall Arrest, Confined Space Entry/Monitor, and H2S Alive certifications. Heavy Equipment Operator endorsements/certifications and hands‑on experience using SiteDocs for safety reporting. (An asset) Required

Work Experience: Direct prior experience as a Terminal Operator or Heavy Equipment Operator in an industrial, aggregate, asphalt, or bulk liquid handling environment. (Note: Candidates without relevant industrial or operator experience will not be considered.)

Additional Requirements

• Mechanical Aptitude: Strong hands-on mechanical skills to handle plant maintenance responsibilities independently.
• Physical & Technical Readiness: Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions, perform physical tasks, and operate heavy machinery safely.
• Work Ethic/Mindset: Highly motivated, reliable, and committed to continuous improvement and high operational standards
• Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.

What We Offer

• Pay Rate: $37.53/Hourly CAD
• A comprehensive Health & Dental benefits plan for you and your dependents as outlined in the CBA
• A Pension and/or Retirement Plan designed to support you through various stages of your career and life, as outlined in the CBA
• Healthy Living support through an EFAP, offering confidential assistance for work, health, or life challenges
• Service recognition awards to celebrate your contributions
• Perks & discounts on a variety of products and services
• An inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can be themselves
• A collaborative work culture in a supportive and team-oriented work environment
