ABOUT EMMERSON PACKAGING

Emmerson Packaging is a third-generation, family-owned company and an industry leader in flexible packaging solutions. We’ve been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 17 consecutive years — a reflection of how seriously we take our people, our clients, and our craft.

Our values guide every decision we make:

We enhance our lives by helping others succeed
We care about our clients, each other, and our communities
We are responsible for the outcome of our actions
We strive to do the right thing, even if it costs us

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Production Assistant provides hands-on support across various equipment and processes within our Converting, Extrusion, and Printing departments. This is an entry-level production role and a direct stepping stone into a General Operator position as you build your skills and experience on our floor.

YOUR SCHEDULE

4 ON 4 OFF

Work 4 days, then enjoy 4 days off — every rotation. Two day shifts followed by two night shifts, then four consecutive days off. This gives you more long weekends than a standard 5-day work week.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Assist and support senior Converting and Press personnel as directed
Monitor product quality and flag deviations to your supervisor
Conduct and document inspections and testing according to quality plans
Manage scrap material and operate the baler
Maintain cleanliness and organization of equipment and work areas
Follow all health, safety, and environmental policies and procedures

REQUIREMENTS

High school diploma or equivalent
Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
Ability to perform repetitive tasks quickly and efficiently
Mechanical aptitude — candidates will be assessed as part of the hiring process
Basic computer literacy
Able to lift 40 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform repetitive stretching, stair and ladder climbing
Comfortable working rotating shifts including days and nights

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience working in a manufacturing environment
Experience working rotating shifts

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Competitive wages: $19–$20/hr + $2.00 Night Shift Premium
Comprehensive health and dental benefits
Defined contribution pension plan
Quarterly bonus program — earn more when we hit our goals
Training and development support
24/7 on-site gym and cafeteria
Fitness membership reimbursement program
Clear path to promotion and career growth within Emmerson Packaging

YOUR PATH FORWARD

Career Pathway to General Operator & AIP Eligibility

We welcome applications from Canadian citizens and permanent residents. We also encourage applications from individuals currently holding an open work permit.

The Production Assistant role is the starting point of a defined career path at Emmerson Packaging. Here’s how it works:

Join as a Production Assistant ($19–$20/hr + $2 night premium)
Build your manufacturing experience on the production floor across Converting, Extrusion, and Printing
Promote to General Operator ($21–$24/hr + $2 night premium) — the role that qualifies for AIP
Apply for permanent residency through AIP with Emmerson’s full support as a designated AIP employer. To be eligible at this stage, you must have at least 2.5 years (30 months) remaining on your current work permit at the time of application.

Please note: The Production Assistant role does not directly qualify for AIP. AIP eligibility begins upon promotion to General Operator. Candidates pursuing this pathway should ensure they have sufficient time remaining on their work permit to allow for the promotion process before AIP can be initiated.
