Maintenance Electrician (Journeyperson)

We're looking for a Journeyperson Maintenance Electrician who knows how to track down a fault fast, fix it right the first time, and keep our materials processing equipment running safely.
At Southland Trailers, we're not looking for someone who just swaps parts until a machine starts again. We want a tradesperson who finds the root cause, takes ownership of the equipment, and looks for better ways to keep it running.
What You'll Be Doing
Troubleshooting & Repair:
Diagnose and fix electrical, controls, hydraulic and mechanical problems on press brakes, sheet and tube lasers, plasma tables and plant equipment.
Preventive Maintenance:
Complete PM, lubrication and inspection routes that catch problems before they become breakdowns.
Root Cause & Reliability:
Find out why equipment failed, fix it for good, and recommend improvements that cut downtime.
Plant Air & Utilities:
Service rotary screw compressors, dryers and air systems, and track down air leaks.
Fabrication & Installs:
Weld, fabricate and machine replacement parts, and install, relocate and level new equipment.
Safety & Records:
Follow lockout, hot work and guarding procedures every time, and log all work orders and parts in our maintenance system.
Mentoring:
Share your knowledge with apprentices, operators and the rest of the maintenance team.
What Makes You a Great Fit
You hold a valid Alberta Journeyperson Electrician certificate. Red Seal is an asset.
You have industrial maintenance experience, ideally on materials processing equipment in a manufacturing plant.
You're strong at troubleshooting motors, drives, PLC I/O and safety circuits, and comfortable with hydraulics and pneumatics.
You can read electrical, hydraulic and mechanical schematics, and you have welding, fabrication and basic machining skills.
You work well on your own, prioritize breakdowns under pressure, and communicate clearly with production.
You're comfortable in a plant environment, with overtime, call-ins and weekend shutdowns when needed.
You never cut corners on safety, even when the line is waiting.

We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, RRSP matching, professional development, in-house cafeterias, and a workplace where your contributions make a difference.
