At Atlantis Strength, we do more than transform metal (we improve the quality of life of thousands of people around the world). Our talented team of approximately 150 employees is driven to work, build and grow together. Based in Laval, we have a long, rich history and are Canada’s largest commercial strength equipment manufacturer. Our products are globally recognized for their smooth motion, durability and robustness. We are looking for a dynamic, high-performing individual to join our team.
Position overview
As an Upholsterer in our Finishing department, you will cut, sew, and mount by hand the premium pads that give every Atlantis Strength machine its signature look and feel.

Working with high-grade vinyl, foam, and professional upholstery materials, you will handle everything from precise cutting and sewing to final mounting and finishing on assembled machines.
