Our Service team works Monday to Friday with no overnight required. We provide brand new fully stocked service vehicles, uniform provided, tool allowance, paid wellness days, and a full office support team. We enjoy social events throughout the year including a company breakfast, bbq, golf tournament, and company-planned family days!

What else? How about competitive wages ($18-$25hr), group benefits, monthly, and annual performance-based bonuses, RRSP matching, health, and wellness programs. During 3 months over the winter, we encourage our team to rest, have some me time, spend time with family, or learn a new hobby! While Blue Jay tops up Seasonal EI payments. You could even use one of your paid volunteer days during this time, to give back to your community?
