Hughes Collective is pleased to present an exciting opportunity on behalf of our client.


Title: Millwright

Location: McLean Lake, SK | Camp Accommodation and Travel Allowance

Shift Schedule: Shutdown Project from April 7th to 24th


Our Client

PBN Construction is more than a construction company. Proudly Indigenous-owned, PBN has grown from a northern-focused operation into a diversified, Saskatchewan-based organization with a strong and expanding footprint across the province. From large-scale earthworks to complex, multi-million-dollar infrastructure and mining support projects, PBN is known for reliability, safety, and a commitment to doing things the right way.


Beyond traditional construction, PBN plays a critical role in supporting mining operations, delivering project management, site supervision, underground construction, maintenance, and heavy equipment operation. Their teams work where the action is: in high-performance, industrial environments that demand precision, safety, and teamwork.


At the core of PBN’s success is a culture rooted in accountability, continuous improvement, and pride in craftsmanship. If you’re a skilled trades professional who values safety, respects the work, and takes ownership of doing the job right, you’ll fit right in.

 

The Opportunity

PBN Construction is seeking an experienced Millwright to support a shutdown project at McLean Lake. This is a hands-on, high-impact role working on critical mining equipment and mechanical systems.


Shutdown work requires focus, efficiency, and strong collaboration. You will be part of a skilled team responsible for ensuring essential equipment is serviced, repaired, and operational, safely and on schedule.


If you’re the type of tradesperson who enjoys troubleshooting complex mechanical systems, working in tight-knit crews, and delivering results under pressure, this is your opportunity to step into a project where your skills truly matter.

 

Key Responsibilities

As a Millwright, you will work collaboratively and are responsible for:

1. Equipment Maintenance & Mechanical Repair

  • Service, maintain, and repair underground mechanical systems and mining equipment.
  • Diagnose mechanical breakdowns and complete timely, effective repairs.
  • Perform preventative maintenance to reduce downtime and extend equipment life.

 

2. Troubleshooting & Analysis

  • Identify root causes of equipment failures and provide data for cause and failure analysis.
  • Maintain accurate repair records and equipment history documentation.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance equipment reliability.

 

3. Safety & Compliance

  • Adhere strictly to mine site safety regulations and company safety protocols.
  • Demonstrate leadership in safety practices and hazard identification.
  • Maintain required certifications and training for underground mining work.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

  • Journeyperson Certificate of Qualification as a Millwright / Industrial Mechanic (Saskatchewan Apprenticeship & Trade Certification Commission preferred). Fourth-year apprentices will be considered.
  • Underground mining experience (strongly preferred).
  • Proven experience working on underground mining equipment (mandatory).
  • Valid GMSA (General Mine Safety Awareness).
  • Valid First Aid/CPR certification.
  • Valid WHMIS and SCOT training.
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
  • Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Ability to lift up to 75 pounds and perform physically demanding tasks in underground conditions.
  • Comfort working shifts, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight work as required.
  • You must be safety-driven, dependable, and comfortable working in diverse and demanding environments.
  • Proficiency with accounting systems and Excel; experience with QuickBooks Desktop is considered an asset.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities in a transaction-heavy environment.
  • What Our Client Offers
  • Competitive hourly compensation based on experience
  • Camp accommodations and travel allowance
  • A workplace committed to safety, diversity, equity, and inclusion
  • A professional and team-oriented environment within Saskatchewan’s mining sector
  • The opportunity to contribute to a high-impact shutdown project

 

This is a fixed-term contract position running April 7-24, 2026.
