At Multy, we believe waste is not the end of a material's life, it's the beginning of something better. For more than 30 years, Multy has combined material science, design, and manufacturing expertise to transform landfill‐diverted materials into durable, innovative products for homes, gardens, and beyond. Today, we are a growing organization focused on sustainable innovation, circular manufacturing, and finding better ways to use materials.

As we continue to expand our manufacturing capabilities, advanced processing technology plays an increasingly critical role in driving efficiency, material quality, and operational excellence. We are looking for a skilled, safety‐conscious, and hands‐on Extrusion Process Technician to join our team at our North York facility and help optimize our recycling extrusion operations. Multy operates in a high-volume, fast‐paced manufacturing and distribution workplace, supporting production and business‐critical systems across Canada, the United States, and international markets.

Located at our 400 Fenmar facility, this is a high‐impact prospect for a technical manufacturing professional who takes pride in operating advanced recycling machinery, solving process challenges, and maintaining the highest standards of safety and output quality. We value individuals who are dependable, mechanically minded, safety‐focused, and comfortable working in a dynamic industrial environment. The ideal candidate takes ownership of their machinery, responds proactively to process deviations under production targets, collaborates effectively across production and maintenance teams, and actively looks for ways to optimize throughput, reduce scrap, and maintain a zero‐incident safety culture.

Process Optimization & Control:



Continuously monitor and fine‐tune critical processing parameters (cutter‐compactor speed, screw speed, melt temperature zones, melt pressure, vacuum levels, and pelletizer settings) to ensure secure, high‐efficiency production.

Quality Assurance & Testing: Inspect finished pellet output for sizing, moisture content, melt consistency, color uniformity, and contamination; log quality data accurately and initiate immediate corrective actions on off‐spec runs.

Troubleshooting & Mechanical Support: Preventative Maintenance: Perform daily routine maintenance on extrusion lines, cutter‐compactors, and feeding systems; partner with the industrial maintenance team on scheduled repairs, diagnostics, and PM cycles.

Material & Silo Management: Safely stage, blend, and feed film scrap, regrind, and additives; safely execute silo cleaning, material changeovers, and equipment emptying procedures while tracking material consumption. Technical diploma or vocational certificate in Plastics Processing, Industrial/Mechanical Maintenance, Process Operations, or a related manufacturing discipline is preferred;

Experience: Minimum of two to three (2–3) years of direct, hands‐on experience setting up, operating, and troubleshooting extrusion or plastic recycling lines in a high‐volume manufacturing setting.

Core Technical Knowledge:



Strong mechanical aptitude with a solid understanding of polymer processing fundamentals, melt filtration, resin behavior (e.g., Prior experience operating NGR, Erema, or similar recycling extrusion lines and industrial shredders/granulators (Genox) is an asset.

Soft Skills: Strong problem‐solving mindset, high attention to detail, reliability, and transparent communication skills when collaborating with shift supervisors, maintenance mechanics, and quality personnel. Physical & Environmental Requirements Role is 100% on‐site within an active manufacturing and production plant environment at our 400 Fenmar location. Exposure to industrial machinery, heat, noise, dust, and moving mechanical parts (PPE required and provided).

Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, and safely lift/move raw materials and tooling weighing up to 50 lbs. Flexibility to work shift‐based schedules (including rotating, day, afternoon, or night shifts as required by plant operational schedules). Extended health, dental, vision, and medical benefits coverage (following standard eligibility).

Retirement Planning: Company retirement savings program with employer matching opportunities. Work‐Life Balance: Competitive paid vacation entitlement and stable, predictable scheduling. Opportunities for technical training, cross‐skilling across different production lines, and internal career progression.

Purpose-Driven Culture: The opportunity to directly participate in sustainable manufacturing and landfill‐diversion initiatives every single day. Accommodations are available upon request throughout the recruitment and selection process in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code. #
