Overhead Crane Service Technician
Lift your career to new heights.
Are you a hands-on problem solver who thrives on variety, takes pride in clean work, and gets satisfaction from fixing what others can't? We're looking for an Overhead Crane Service Technician to join our Service team — someone who's as comfortable troubleshooting a complex electrical fault as they are responding to an urgent breakdown call. If you love being out in the field, working with your hands, and being the person customers count on when their operations are down, keep reading.
What You'll Do
You'll be the go-to expert who keeps overhead cranes running safely and reliably for our customers. No two days look the same, one day you're commissioning a new install, the next you're diagnosing a tricky electrical issue or responding to an emergency call.
Specifically, you'll:
- Troubleshoot and inspect equipment to detect faults and malfunctions before they become bigger problems
- Adjust, repair, or replace defective parts to get equipment back in service
- Perform crane inspections, repairs, installations, and respond to breakdown calls
- Inspect hoists, cranes, systems, chain falls, and pullers
- Order parts and maintain inventory so you've got what you need when you need it
- Keep clear maintenance reports and documentation
- Represent us professionally on every customer site and work as part of a tight-knit team
- Take on other duties as assigned (because that's the nature of service work)
Safety Is Non-Negotiable
We take safety seriously, and so will you. In this role, you'll:
- Comply with all Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) regulations and our internal safety policies
- Wear and properly maintain all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including fall protection like harnesses and lanyards
- Participate in ongoing safety training and emergency drills
- Operate all tools, machinery, and vehicles according to training and manufacturer guidelines
- Report incidents, accidents, near misses, and potential hazards immediately
- Complete customer site orientations and follow their site-specific safety requirements
What You Bring
Must-haves:
- Secondary school diploma or equivalent
- Completion of a college, CEGEP, vocational, or technical program
- 3–5 years of relevant hands-on experience
- A valid driver's license in good standing
- Strong critical thinking skills and a knack for diagnosing problems methodically
- Excellent communication skills — verbal and written — and a people-first attitude
- Willingness to work overtime when the job calls for it
Nice-to-haves (these will make you stand out):
- Electrical (309A/442A) or Mechanical (433A) license
- Welding experience
Who You'll Work With
You'll report to the Service Manager and collaborate closely with our Service, Projects, and Supply Chain teams, a group of people who genuinely have each other's backs.
Why This Role?
This isn't a sit-behind-a-desk job. It's a career for people who want to build real skills, work on serious industrial equipment, and see the direct impact of their work every single day.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
