Job description

Do you enjoy troubleshooting and solving mechanical challenges? If so, we’d love to have you join our team as a Red Seal Mechanic in our Whitehorse, YT location, where you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring our fleet of vehicles and trailers, and small engines stay in peak condition.

As the Red Seal Mechanic, you’ll report directly to our VP Operations and be entrusted with servicing and repairing a diverse range of vehicles and equipment that are key to our operations.

Here’s what you’ll be taking on:

• New Equipment: Your expertise will be needed to outfit new vehicles, ensuring they are ready for our fleet from the get-go.
• Inspections: Regular inspections of our fleet vehicles, trailers, and field equipment will fall under your care. You ensure they meet both regulatory requirements and company standards.
• Scheduled Service: Perform essential maintenance services—like oil changes, lubrication, and tune-ups—on our vehicles and equipment, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing breakdowns.
• Repairs: When breakdowns happen, you’ll be the expert diagnosing and repairing the issue.
• Documentation: You’ll keep detailed and accurate records of services, repairs, parts used, and purchases. Managing purchase orders and parts inventory will be an essential part of your role.
• Housekeeping: Maintain a clean, organized workspace so that you can focus on getting the job done efficiently and safely.
• Additional Duties: As with any role, your skills may be called upon for other related tasks to support the operations team.

We’ll also have you working on small engine repairs - whether it’s a pump, generator, or portable heater, your diagnostic skills will keep this equipment running strong.

A little about Wildstone. We’re family-owned and operated, we take on projects in some of the most remote, challenging and exciting locations in western and northern Canada, and our goal is to always make a positive impact through community involvement where we work.

We take care of our teams with benefits that include health/dental/vision, RRSP matching, Employee and Family Assistance Programs, and an Employee Recognition and Rewards Program.

What we’re looking for:

• Red Seal certification.
• Experience servicing and repairing fleet vehicles, trailers, and small engines.
• Experience servicing construction field equipment, including skid steers, telehandlers, man lifts and forklifts.
• You’re dependable and you’re a self-starter – you show up to work on time and get the job done.
• You’re available M-F 7:30am to 3:30pm and are flexible to extend those hours when needed.
• Safety is not an afterthought – you have a history of working safely and making sure equipment is in the best working order possible.

If this sounds like the role for you, we want to hear from you.
