Your Next Shop Should Invest in You as Much as You Invest in Your Tools
Many shops talk about career growth. This one backs it up. Our client is one of the largest integrated transportation and logistics providers in North America and has been operating for more than 50 years. It runs over 4,000 trucks, trailers and containers across 11 terminals, and its fleet is still growing. That scale means steady, varied work that keeps your skills sharp.
You will join a clean, modern, team-oriented shop that runs on state-of-the-art equipment and software. You will work alongside a Service Writer and a crew of technicians who take pride in a higher repair standard. Your diagnostics and repairs have a direct effect on safety and on keeping customers’ freight moving.
If you are a seasoned trailer technician who wants day shifts, real stability, and an employer that pays for your development, this is worth a conversation.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
- Stability at scale: a well-established Canadian-owned carrier with five decades in business and a growing fleet.
- Career progression: the company supports national tractor and trailer apprentice certification programs, provides 25 to 40 hours of annual training, and reimburses education.
- Team environment: you will work closely with the Service Writer and fellow technicians in a shop built on teamwork, safety, accountability and respect.
- Real ownership: you will diagnose what you find during inspections and decide on the right repair, rather than just working through a ticket list.
- Earnings upside: hourly premiums based on shift and skill, a sign-on bonus program, and an RRSP with company match.
What You’ll Be Doing - Keeping the trailer fleet safe and compliant through thorough preventive maintenance, inspections and wheel re-torques.
- Diagnosing issues found during inspections and putting the correct repair in place quickly.
- Restoring trailers through minor structural, panel and scuff liner repairs, using torch and welding skills.
- Keeping equipment rolling with brake work, tire work, wheel-end and suspension repairs, and wheel seal replacements.
- Troubleshooting and resolving ABS faults so equipment goes back on the road safely.
- Working with the Service Writer and technician team to get repairs done in a timely and efficient manner.
What We’re Looking For - A minimum of 5 years of experience as a mobile or trailer technician.
- A valid licence, as required for this role.
- The ability to obtain CVIP certification.
- Hands-on skill in PMs, inspections, brakes, tires, wheel-ends, suspension, wheel seals and ABS diagnostics.
- Torch and welding capability, plus working knowledge of structural repairs.
- A solid grounding in safe shop practices and common occupational skills.
- Journeyman status or a safety inspection certificate is an asset.
- A team-first attitude, sharp diagnostic instincts, and pride in doing the repair right the first time.
Compensation & Work Model Compensation is competitive and will be discussed during the screening process.
The package includes a $3,000 sign-on bonus program (terms and conditions apply), shift and skill-based hourly premiums, a $500 tool and PPE allowance, and a $300 boot allowance. It also includes comprehensive group health benefits, an RRSP with company match, an Employee and Family Assistance Program, and a referral bonus program.
Work model: Onsite, full-time, day shift.
Location & Travel The role is based at the shop in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, in the Greater Montreal area.
