Shop Technician - Aerial Lifts & Forklifts
Hamilton, ON
Apply for this job

We are recruiting for a Shop Technician to join a growing, safety-focused equipment rental and material handling operation in Hamilton, ON. This role is ideal for a mechanically strong technician who enjoys troubleshooting, working through complex repairs, and being part of a collaborative team environment. This is not a parts-changer role. The right technician is confident, detail-oriented, and patient when diagnosing issues — someone who takes pride in fixing things properly and safely, even when repairs don’t go perfectly the first time.


Location: Hamilton, Ontario

Pay: $35–$45/hour (flexible based on experience, with review after 90 days) + benefits

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00am–5:00pm

Hours: ~47.5 hours/week, OT paid after 44 hours

Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent


What You’ll Be Working On

  • Aerial lift equipment (JLG, Genie, Skyjack)
  • Forklifts
  • Modern, well-maintained commercial rental equipment (no old residential units)

Key Responsibilities

  • Diagnose and repair hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical issues in shop-based equipment
  • Perform complex troubleshooting and major repairs (“hard down” equipment)
  • Read and interpret schematics, hydraulic diagrams, and service manuals
  • Complete preventative maintenance and safety inspections
  • Work closely with other technicians and leadership to prioritize repairs
  • Maintain accurate service documentation
  • Follow safe work practices in a fast-paced rental environment

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong troubleshooting ability in hydraulics and electrical systems
  • Experience with aerial equipment, forklifts, or heavy equipment (rental experience is an asset)
  • Comfortable asking for help when needed — no ego, team-first mindset
  • Positive attitude, steady under pressure, solutions-focused
  • Ability to work efficiently without cutting corners

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Modern fleet with commercial clients (no outdated equipment)
  • Company values attitude, teamwork, and long-term growth
  • Fast-paced but safety-focused environment
  • Pay flexibility for the right technician

Benefits

  • Extended health benefits
  • RRSP matching
  • Stable, full-time hours
  • Long-term growth with a growing organization
