  • Fly-in, Fly-out Logistics: Free flights supplied directly out of Calgary or Edmonton.
  • Growth & Mentorship: Willing to train and support the right candidate with a positive attitude and a drive to learn.

 

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair a wide range of heavy mining and industrial equipment (including excavators, dozers, and large rigid frame haul trucks).
  • Interpret technical schematics and manuals to resolve complex electrical and mechanical issues.
  • Perform routine preventative maintenance, including oil changes, filter replacements, and system inspections.
  • Troubleshoot, service, and repair on-board HVAC systems and other complex industrial assets.
  • Operate specialized diagnostic equipment, hand tools, and power tools safely.
  • Ensure all heavy lifting tasks are executed safely using approved techniques and equipment.
  • Maintain accurate, detailed records of all repairs, maintenance schedules, and parts used.
  • Adhere strictly to all northern Alberta mining safety protocols and industrial regulations.

 

 

Qualifications & Requirements

 

  • Proven experience as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic in a dealership, mining, or industrial setting.
  • Strong practical knowledge of excavators, dozers, and large rigid frame haul trucks.
  • Mechanical expertise encompassing HVAC systems, electrical troubleshooting, and schematics interpretation.
  • Strong background in using hand tools, power tools, and executing equipment assembly work.
  • A "safety-first" mindset paired with excellent problem-solving and customer service skills.
  • Willingness to learn and adapt to new mining support gear.
  • Bonus: Preference for mechanics with an active Corporation (Corp) ready to subcontract.

 

 

If you are ready to take your mechanical expertise to the northern Alberta oil sands, this dynamic role offers unparalleled operational excellence and career growth.
