Industrial Shop Mechanic
Location: Nisku, AB
Shift: Day Shift (Typically 4x10s or 5x8s—exact schedule to be discussed)
Compensation: $40.00 – $42.00/hour (Based on experience) + Benefits Package + Pension/RRSP Options
Tired of turning wrenches on the exact same repetitive brake jobs and oil changes every day? Step into a permanent, locally-based role in Nisku built for a dynamic mechanic who craves variety. You will be the mechanical backbone for a major heavy industrial fabrication and rig-up facility, servicing an ever-changing fleet of equipment.
If you consider yourself a master troubleshooter capable of fixing anything from a warehouse forklift to a heavy-duty transport truck, you will absolutely thrive in this shop environment!
Advantages
Autonomy: If you know your way around a toolbox, we will leave you alone to do your job. No micro-management—just clear tasks assigned at the morning toolbox meeting.
Diverse Asset Fleet: Gain exposure to and maintain an extensive array of equipment including material handling machinery, fleet vehicles, and industrial shop systems.
Local Nisku Yard: Fully equipped, multi-acre service facilities and rig-up yards. Work local and sleep in your own bed every night.
Financial Security: Top-tier hourly wage ($40.00 – $42.00/hr) with steady hours and overtime opportunities tracking with our manufacturing workload.
Health & Wellness: Comprehensive group benefits covering dental, extended health care, life insurance, and an employee assistance program (EAP).
The Ultimate Variety: No production lines or repetitive tasks. You’ll be trusted to keep an entire industrial yard running smoothly.
Responsibilities
As our go-to Mechanical Technician, you will be the standalone backbone of our Nisku shop and fleet maintenance. You will oversee the mechanical integrity of our support equipment, material handling fleet, and yard machinery, ensuring our massive manufacturing and rig-up operations experience zero downtime.
Key Responsibilities:
- Execute both preventative and reactive maintenance across a vast material handling fleet, including standard and heavy-duty forklifts.
- Expertly diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair industrial shop machinery, yard tools, and heavy-duty transport vehicles.
- Tackle light-duty fleet vehicle repairs and general automotive maintenance whenever necessary.
- Safely operate material handling equipment, shop machinery, and hand/power tools within a fast-paced industrial environment.
- Take full ownership of the repair process, from diagnosing complex hydraulic and mechanical faults to independently sourcing the required parts.
Qualifications
Certification: Valid Journeyman Automotive Service Technician or Heavy Duty Equipment Technician ticket is preferred; however, experienced 3rd or 4th-year apprentices who can completely work alone without supervision are strongly encouraged to apply.
The "Jack-of-All-Trades" Mindset: Proven experience or high comfort level dabbling in a bit of everything—forklifts, heavy duty, automotive, and general shop hydraulics.
Independence: Strong ability to work autonomously, manage your own day, and troubleshoot problems without someone looking over your shoulder.
Reliability & Safety: A self-starter who possesses their own hand tools and takes pride in maintaining a safe, efficient, and well-kept shop environment.
