Full Job Description
Licensed Truck Technician — Heavy-Duty Fleet | Winnipeg, MB

Work four days. Earn like five.
Join a national transportation operation where Friday is always yours — and your skills are genuinely valued.

Red Seal-certified with your CVIP? This role was built for you.
A 4-day work week, $35–$40/hour, and a shop where people stay for 15–20+ years.
Full benefits, RRSP matching, tool allowance, and a team that actually invests in its technicians.

This isn't a run-of-the-mill fleet job. You'll be working with a well-established national transportation company backed by a major rail and logistics group — which means serious stability without the cold, corporate feel. The shop is technology-driven, the fleet is diverse, and the leadership team genuinely invests in the people on the floor.

You'll have exposure to a wide variety of makes and models, mentorship pathways toward lead-hand progression, and a company that reimburses courses when they apply to your daily work. The schedule is Monday through Thursday, 5:30 AM to 4:00 PM — every Friday off, no exceptions, no rotating schedules. And if relocation is what it takes to get the right person in the door, they're open to that conversation.

Why This Opportunity Is Different
Most technician postings offer a wage range and a bullet list of tasks. This one is different. The 4-day schedule alone puts it in a category most shops can't compete with. Add to that one of the most comprehensive technician compensation packages in the Winnipeg market and a retention record that speaks for itself — when people join this shop, they don't leave. You'll work alongside experienced tradespeople in a culture built on mentorship, quality, and doing things right.

What You'll Be Doing

Performing advanced diagnostics and complex repairs across engines, drivetrains, braking systems, and auxiliary systems on a diverse heavy-duty fleet
Completing scheduled preventative maintenance and safety inspections to OEM standards
Managing work orders with accurate labour, parts, and technical documentation — audit-ready at all times
Coordinating shop workflow and communicating repair timelines with the supervision team
Handling parts verification, warranty documentation, and inventory procedures
Providing hands-on technical guidance and coaching to apprentices and junior technicians

What We're Looking For

CVIP licence in Manitoba — ability to sign commercial vehicle safeties is non-negotiable
Red Seal Transport Truck Technician certification or equivalent inter-provincial certification
Valid Driver's Licence with Air Brake certification
High school diploma
Ability to read English instruction manuals and safety materials
Ability to pass a criminal background check and educational verification
3 to 7 years of in-shop heavy-duty truck maintenance experience preferred
Experience across multiple truck makes and models is a strong asset
JPRO diagnostic software experience is a bonus
Strong written and verbal communication skills and a genuine interest in developing others

Compensation & Benefits

$35–$40 per hour, plus shift premium and overtime eligibility (not required)
$500/year tool allowance | $300/year boot allowance
Employer-paid health and dental benefits
RRSP matching program
Up to 10 paid sick days per year plus 3 personal days
Vacation accrual at 4% of gross earnings
Relocation assistance considered for the right candidate
Work model: On-site

The Extras

4-day work week — every Friday off
Free parking and on-site cafeteria with complimentary coffee
Annual employee barbeque
Mentorship pathways to lead-hand progression
Course reimbursement when applied to daily tasks
Forklift and First Aid certifications provided if not already held

Location & Travel
Winnipeg, MB — on-site. No travel required. Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 5:30 AM–4:00 PM
