Job description

Overview

We Don’t Just Hire People - We Build Teammates. Hudson is a different kind of security, doors, automation, and locksmithing company. We’re part construction, part tech, part problem-solvers, part “MacGyver meets Mythbusters,” and part “laugh until someone snorts.” We protect people, property, and livelihoods — and we never forget the responsibility that comes with that. We also celebrate National Pretzel Day and run rock-paper-scissors tournaments for a 5-pound chocolate bunny.

The Mission: We Need a Pro in the Air

Right now, we are specifically looking for an Experienced Overhead Door & Dock Technician. While we love to teach, for this specific seat on the bus, we need a seasoned pro who knows their way around a torsion spring and a pit leveler. You’ll be the go-to expert in our Commercial Doors division (Although we enjoy teaching, for this particular role, we require an experienced professional familiar with torsion springs and dock levellers. You will serve as the primary expert in our Commercial Doors division).

Role focus: Overhead Mastery — Expert installation, service, and repair of sectional doors, rolling steel, and high-speed doors. Dock Specialists — Troubleshooting and maintaining dock levellers, seals, and related warehouse equipment. The Hudson Standard — Bringing "Lead Tech" energy—taking ownership of the job site, diagnosing complex mechanical/electrical issues, and showing the junior guys how it’s done safely.

The Hudson Technical Career Ladder

At Hudson, your career grows with you. For this role, we are looking for someone to enter at the Lead Technician or Senior Lead Technician level:

• Lead Technician: Takes ownership of jobs, mentors others, and runs small teams.
• Senior Lead Technician: Our top performers. Trusted with complex, custom, or high-stakes projects.
• The Future: Senior Leads have a path into Technical Operations & Sales, supporting project planning, quoting, and internal training.

Who Thrives at Hudson (And Who… Doesn’t)

You will thrive here if you:

• Have a strong mechanical and electrical aptitude for motor operators and heavy hardware.
• Have a good sense of humour and can laugh at yourself.
• Are humble, competent, and caring.
• Can say “I messed up” and “I’m sorry.”
• Hate "we’ve always done it that way" thinking.

You will NOT thrive here if you are arrogant, disrespectful, or a jerk. No exceptions.

Smarter, Not Harder - Technology at Hudson

We provide the best tools because trades deserve better. You’ll use:

• A cloud-based field management system and Hudson-issued smartphone.
• Internal AI-powered intranet and digital work orders/drawings.
• Modern communication channels—no more chasing paper.

The Logistics

• Pay: Competitive hourly rate ($24-$34/hr depending on experience/level).
• Perks: Overtime, bonuses, medical/dental/vision, company vehicle, and tools.
• Travel: Opportunities for travel (Yellowknife, Newfoundland, BC) for high-security or custom engineering challenges.

Requirements for this Role

• Proven Experience: Significant hands-on experience specifically with commercial overhead doors and dock equipment.
• The Basics: Valid G license (clean abstract), ability to lift 50 lbs and work on ladders.
• Clean Record: Must be able to pass a police background check (required for high-security sites).
• Tech Savvy: Comfortable using digital tools for notes, photos, and documentation.
• Travel: Available to occasionally travel out of town three or four times per year and remain overnight.
