Our AMA brand is important to us, and we set the bar for the towing industry. One in three Albertans are an AMA member and count on us to keep them safe.

AMA leads the towing industry in compensation, providing a competitive base salary and an achievable performance incentive program with an earning potential of up to $28.50 / hour. In addition, we offer an amazing career with paid comprehensive training, employer-paid benefit plan, company-provided safety apparel, and safety that repeatedly surpasses the industry standards.

AMA uses the best towing equipment available and provides a first-class member experience.

Becoming an AMA Service Vehicle Operator is a prospective career change option into the dynamic towing industry; no prior tow experience is required.

We are immediately hiring for permanent full-time positions for our Edmonton Service Centre.

Successful candidates will be trained on standard tow truck operation and required to work rotational 8-hour shifts, as per scheduled days (including weekends & holidays), between the hours of 6:00 am and 12:00 am. Plus, the opportunity to work additional hours and earn overtime is also available.

You’re like an everyday superhero (only without the weird cape). We could use someone with your superpowers and passion for helping others. You don’t have to be a mechanic or have any other special skills—but with your willingness to learn, we’ll provide you with all the training you’ll need on state-of-the-art technology and equipment to be confident in your role.

• Stay up to date on your knowledge of our communications and operating equipment.
• Make sure Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used and worn at all times.

WHAT YOU’VE DONE

• Have a high school diploma or relatable experience.
• You hold a valid Class 5 or GDL driver’s license with fewer than six demerit points at any one time, and consider yourself comfortable operating a full-size pickup truck.

• Competitive base salary and an achievable performance incentive program that totals up to $28.50 / Hour.
