Payroll Administrator

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.
