Top Tier Talent Group is partnering with a well-established Canadian equipment rental and construction services organization to recruit a Heavy Equipment Mechanic Shop Foreman for their Toronto operation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled Heavy Equipment Mechanic who is ready to take on a leadership role while still staying close to the tools. The successful candidate will help lead a busy service department, support mechanics with diagnostics and repairs, and ensure equipment is maintained safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys mentoring others, solving technical problems, improving shop productivity, and keeping equipment running reliably for customers and job sites.

You will work closely with the Service Manager to coordinate repairs, support technicians, maintain quality standards, and help drive a safe, organized, and productive work environment.

You will act as a technical resource for the team, assist with complex repairs when required, and help ensure work is completed accurately, efficiently, and in line with company and safety standards.
