Human Resources Manager

About The Company

Macon Industries Inc. is a manufacturing company based in Parksville, Vancouver Island, BC, specializing in diamond core drilling equipment and placer mining machinery. The company began nearly twenty years ago as a small fabrication shop supporting local mining operations in British Columbia. Over time, Macon expanded its capabilities, building a reputation for durable, field‑tested equipment and custom engineering solutions tailored to the needs of Canadian drillers and miners.

Today, Macon designs, fabricates, and assembles all equipment in‑house, supported by a skilled team of welders, fabricators, machinists, designers, and technicians. Their focus remains rooted in quality craftsmanship, innovation, and practical, operator‑driven design. While their equipment is used across Canada, Macon maintains a strong local identity; offering hands‑on support, custom builds, and long‑term partnerships with clients throughout BC and the Canadian mining sector.

This combination of local roots, technical expertise, and steady growth makes Macon a place where tradespeople and technical professionals can build long‑term careers while contributing to high‑impact Canadian manufacturing.
