• Basic Knowledge : Familiarity with vehicle service requirements, automotive tools, parts, and systems is a plus, but not required. Training will be provided.
• Valid Ontario G Driver’s License with no demerit points.

What we offer

• Impactful Work : Every day presents new challenges and opportunities to make a difference.
