The Opportunity
 
We are representing an established mechanical contractor in the Vancouver area that is looking to hire a Senior Service Foreman to join its growing service team.
 
This is more than a standard service technician position. The company is looking for a senior technical professional who can remain hands-on in the field while becoming a key technical resource and mentor for the wider service team.
 
The successful candidate will take responsibility for complex commercial and industrial service work, including major boiler maintenance accounts, while helping develop less experienced technicians through structured technical training.
 
The Role
 
As a Senior Service Foreman, you will handle complex service and maintenance work while providing technical leadership to the field team.
 
Responsibilities will include:

• Service, maintenance and troubleshooting of commercial and industrial mechanical equipment.
• Boiler maintenance, start-up and commissioning.
• Working with high-pressure gas systems.
• Diagnosing electrical and mechanical issues.
• Taking technical ownership of complex service calls.
• Supporting major preventative maintenance accounts.
• Mentoring and providing technical guidance to field technicians.
• Identifying technical knowledge gaps across the service team.
• Developing and delivering a monthly technical training program.
• Improving troubleshooting, safety and technical standards across the field team.
• Communicating effectively with customers, technicians, dispatch and management.
• On-Call rotations every 8 weeks (8-hours paid + double time)

What We're Looking For

• Class A Gas Fitter certification strongly preferred.
• Strong Class B Gas Fitters with the right experience will also be considered.
• Extensive commercial and/or industrial service experience.
• Strong boiler knowledge and experience.
• High-pressure gas experience.
• Strong boiler start-up and commissioning capabilities.
• Good electrical troubleshooting knowledge.
• Ability to independently diagnose complex mechanical and electrical issues.
• Experience mentoring, training or developing technicians.
• Strong communication and leadership skills.
• Comfortable remaining hands-on while taking on additional technical leadership responsibilities.

Previous formal management experience isn't essential. However, you should be able to demonstrate how you would assess the technical capabilities of a field team, identify knowledge gaps and develop a structured training program to improve the team over time.
 
Compensation & Benefits

• Up to $70+ per hour, depending on experience.
• Brand-new company vehicle.
• Benefits package.
• Health Spending Account.
• RRSP program after six months.
• All power tools and specialty tools supplied.
• Company uniforms provided with laundry service.
• Technician is only responsible for personal hand tools.
• Ongoing technical and professional development.
• Regular company events including hockey, golf, BBQs and other social activities.

The Company
 
The company is an established Lower Mainland mechanical contractor with approximately 18 employees.
 
Approximately 80% of its work is located in Downtown Vancouver, with additional work throughout the Tri-Cities, Fraser Valley and surrounding areas.
Projects and service work include commercial and industrial boilers, mechanical rooms, HVAC systems, cooling towers, steam systems, heat pumps and tower maintenance.
 
The business is a member of ICBA and MCABC and places a strong emphasis on employee development, regularly investing in technical, leadership, management and professional development courses.
 
Technicians are also supported by three experienced dispatchers, with a focus on providing detailed site and customer information before each service call.
 
Why Consider This Opportunity?
 
This position would suit an experienced Class A Gas Fitter, Senior HVAC/R Service Technician or Service Foreman who wants to take the next step into technical leadership without completely moving away from the tools.
 
You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of major commercial and industrial boiler accounts, mentor other technicians, develop the company's technical training program and become a senior technical resource within a growing service operation.
