Step Into a Role That’s Anything but Ordinary
If you’re a certified electrician looking to move beyond routine construction or maintenance work, this is your opportunity to step into something truly different.
This role combines traditional electrical work with the specialized world of airfield lighting — a critical, highly respected niche that keeps airport operations safe and running 24/7.
You’ll be part of a tight-knit facilities team responsible for maintaining both buildings and airfield systems at a key northern airport. This is meaningful work where your skills directly impact safety, operations, and reliability.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
This isn’t a typical electrician role.
You’ll gain exposure to airfield lighting systems — a rare and valuable specialization that few electricians ever get the chance to work on.
You’ll operate with a high level of independence, trusted to own your work without constant supervision.
You’ll work in a stable, long-term environment with strong benefits, pension, and consistent hours — no bouncing between job sites.
And you’ll be part of a team that values craftsmanship, safety, and accountability.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Maintain and repair electrical systems across airport buildings and infrastructure
- Inspect and service airfield lighting systems to ensure regulatory compliance
- Troubleshoot and resolve electrical faults quickly and effectively
- Install and replace electrical equipment including panels, relays, and lighting systems
- Interpret drawings and electrical codes to support installations and repairs
- Support HVAC and control system electrical components
- Coordinate and oversee contractors performing specialized inspections or repairs
- Execute preventative maintenance schedules to minimize downtime
What We’re Looking For - Red Seal Electrician certification with completed 5-year apprenticeship
- Minimum 2+ years of experience in maintenance or similar environments
- Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills across electrical systems
- Experience with control systems, HVAC, or industrial environments
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and codes
- Valid Class 5 driver’s license
- Ability to obtain Transport Canada Security Clearance
Nice to Have:
- Airfield lighting experience or certification
- Soft Skills That Matter:
- Self-sufficient and reliable
- Strong attention to safety and detail
- Comfortable working independently
- Calm under pressure in critical environments
Compensation & Work Model - Competitive salary (based on experience)
- 100% employer-paid benefits
- Healthcare spending account
- Defined Benefit pension plan
- Full-time, onsite role
Location & Travel - Based in Iqaluit, NU
- Work conducted on-site at airport facilities
