Journeyperson Heavy Equipment Technician (HET)

Journeyperson Heavy Equipment Technician (HET)

F11 Piling Solutions is seeking an experienced Journeyperson Heavy Equipment Technician to join our team in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

We operate a diverse fleet of specialized piling, drilling, construction, and transportation equipment throughout Alberta and Western Canada. We are looking for a skilled, dependable technician who can confidently diagnose, repair, and maintain a wide variety of heavy equipment in both shop and field environments.

Equipment You’ll Work On

• Junttan pile driving rigs
• Piling and drilling equipment
• Highway tractors and tractor-trailers
• Excavators
• Wheel loaders
• Skid steers
• Diesel engines and hydraulic systems
• Pile driving hammers and related attachments
• Trailers and support equipment

Responsibilities

• Diagnose, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain heavy equipment and commercial vehicles
• Perform preventative and scheduled maintenance
• Troubleshoot diesel engines, hydraulic, electrical, air, and mechanical systems
• Complete repairs on piling and drilling equipment
• Perform inspections and identify potential failures before they result in costly downtime
• Complete shop repairs as well as field service and emergency repairs when required
• Maintain accurate maintenance, inspection, and repair records
• Assist with parts requirements and preventative maintenance planning
• Work closely with operations to ensure equipment is safe, reliable, and ready for upcoming projects

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for more than someone who simply fixes equipment after it breaks. The right person will take ownership of the condition and reliability of the fleet, recognize developing issues before they become major repairs, and understand the importance of preventative maintenance in keeping field operations productive.

This position is well suited to an experienced technician who enjoys variety. One day you may be working on a Junttan piling rig or drilling system and the next on an excavator, loader, picker truck, or highway tractor.
