This is a hands-on shop role. You will run the preventative maintenance program, deal with breakdowns, manage parts and vendors, keep inspections current, and still work on the iron — including getting the 2027 units ready and keeping them maintained. The job is based at 6238 Hwy 43. Some field breakdowns and after-hours call-outs are part of the work.
Responsibilities
- Plan and run preventative maintenance for mobile cranes, boom trucks, heavy-haul equipment, trailers, and support trucks
- Help commission and maintain new cranes arriving in 2027
- Diagnose and repair hydraulic, diesel, electrical, and mechanical problems, or send work out when that is the better call
- Follow up on operator defect reports the same shift or next shift
- Source parts, manage vendors and warranties, and control shop costs
- Keep inspections, CVIPs, manufacturer service, and equipment history up to date
- Work with operations and dispatch so units come in for service without disrupting booked work
- Lead day-to-day shop work and still turn wrenches
- Respond to breakdowns in the yard or in the field
- Keep the shop clean, documented, and honest about damage
Requirements
- Heavy-duty, crane, or truck-shop experience — not light-duty automotive
- Solid working knowledge of hydraulics, diesel, and electrical systems
- Comfortable leading a small shop and working on the equipment yourself
- Organized with PMs, work orders, and inspection records
- Valid driver’s licence (Class 1 with air brakes is an asset)
