Role overview

If you’re a hands-on Heavy Equipment Technician who knows your way around diesel engines, hydraulics, and electrical systems—and you’d rather be in the field than stuck in a shop—this one’s for you.

We’re looking for a solid field service tech to diagnose, repair, and maintain industrial compressor and rotating equipment at customer sites across British Columbia. You’ll be trusted to work independently, backed by good support, real benefits, and top-end pay.

Pay & What You Get

  • $45–$55/hour to start (based on experience)
  • Overnight travel premiums
  • Full benefits + pension
  • Company-paid travel & accommodations
  • Service truck provided
  • Day shift: 7:00am–4:00pm (with flexibility for OT & field calls)

No out-of-pocket travel costs. No guessing games on pay.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Diagnose and troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, engine, transmission, and emissions issues
  • Repair and maintain mobile and industrial compressor equipment in the field
  • Perform preventative maintenance: fluids, lubrication, inspections, cleaning
  • Replace components and handle major repairs, including engine work
  • Test equipment after repairs to make sure it’s running right
  • Fill out work orders and service reports properly
  • Work safely and follow site and environmental rules
  • Deal directly with customers in a professional, no-nonsense way

What We’re Looking For

  • Journeyman Heavy Equipment Technician
  • Valid passport (required for travel)
  • Strong field troubleshooting experience
  • Solid understanding of diesel engines and rotating equipment
  • Comfortable with diagnostic software, service manuals, and schematics
  • Clean Driver’s Abstract
  • Able to lift heavy parts and work in all kinds of weather and conditions
  • Someone who takes pride in doing the job right the first time

Travel & Work Environment

  • Field-based role covering industrial and commercial sites across BC
  • About one week per month working on Vancouver Island / Tofino
  • All travel, hotels, and logistics are 100% covered
