Precision Matters.

Your Work Keeps Heavy Industry

Moving.

There is a difference between operating a machine and truly understanding the work.

At Bridge Machine, we are looking for an experienced Honing Machinist who understands precision, takes pride in getting the details right, and knows that when you're working on critical hydraulic components, tolerances and surface finish matter.

For decades, Bridge Machine has supported demanding industrial applications with machining, hydraulic cylinder repair, manufacturing, and rebuild capabilities. Our work supports equipment operating in industries where reliability isn't optional.

Bridge Machine is part of the Boundary group of companies, a Canadian group of specialized industrial businesses serving the mining, heavy equipment, manufacturing, and resource sectors across Canada and around the world.

If you enjoy hands-on machining, understand the skill behind precision honing, and want to work with a team that values experience and craftsmanship, we'd like to meet you.

What You'll Do

As our Honing Machinist, you'll be responsible for precision honing of hydraulic cylinder barrels, tubes, and other components to achieve the required dimensions, geometry, and surface finishes.

Your work will include

Setting up and operating industrial honing equipment for hydraulic cylinder barrels, tubes, and related components

Honing internal diameters to specified dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish requirements

Reading and interpreting drawings, specifications, work orders, and technical information

Selecting appropriate honing tools, stones, speeds, feeds, and operating parameters

Measuring bores accurately using precision measuring equipment

Monitoring dimensions and surface condition throughout the honing process and making adjustments as required





Identifying conditions such as taper, out-of-round, scoring, wear, and other bore defects

Inspecting completed work to ensure it meets Bridge Machine's quality requirements

Working closely with machinists, welders, and other members of the production team on repair and manufacturing requirements

Safely rigging, positioning, and moving large components using overhead cranes and material-handling equipment

Completing required production and inspection documentation

Performing routine equipment checks and basic preventative maintenance

Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work area

Following all company quality, safety, and operating procedures

What You Bring

We're interested in experienced machinists who understand that precision work requires patience, judgment, and attention to detail.

Ideally, you'll bring:

3–5+ years of machining and/or honing experience

Previous experience operating industrial honing equipment

Experience with hydraulic cylinders, large-bore or long-bore honing is a strong asset

Strong understanding of machining tolerances, bore geometry, and surface finish

Ability to read and interpret drawings and technical specifications

Confidence using precision measuring and inspection equipment

Experience identifying and correcting taper, out-of-round conditions, and surface imperfections

Mechanical aptitude and strong troubleshooting skills





Experience working with overhead cranes and safely handling large components

Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative shop environment A strong commitment to quality and safe work practices The Person Who Will Do Well Here

You take pride in your work.

You don't need someone standing over you to make sure a job is done properly. You measure twice, pay attention to the details, and understand that being "close enough" isn't good enough when you're working to a tolerance.

You're also comfortable working as part of a shop team. When something doesn't look right, you speak up. When there's a problem, you help solve it.

Most importantly, you care about sending quality work out the door.
