Openings: Multiple positions THE ROLE

This is a senior diagnostic and repair role for industrial electrical systems. We call our field service people the doctors of the robots and machines, and it is not far off. When a customer's production line stops, you are the person who shows up, works out what is actually wrong and gets them running again.

You will need real experience with PLCs, VFDs, servo drives and robotic platforms from the major manufacturers, and the judgment to make good calls on someone else's floor with production waiting on you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead the diagnosis and repair of industrial electrical and electromechanical systems.
- Work hands-on across PLC and HMI platforms from Siemens, Allen-Bradley, AutomationDirect and Schneider.
- Take on drive systems, motion control, servo equipment and high-precision automation.
- Keep machine vision systems (Cognex, Keyence) inspecting and sensing accurately.
- Read and interpret electrical drawings and schematics with confidence.
- Support robotic cells from Fanuc, Kuka, Yaskawa and Dobot.
- Test and maintain safety components such as light curtains and dual-channel safety controls.
- Do proactive maintenance so customers do not lose production.
- Pitch in on mechanical repairs when the job calls for it.
- Keep clear service notes and update the Service Manager.

WHAT YOU BRING

- Red Seal Journeyperson Electrician certification.
- PLC experience.



This one is not optional.
- Strong industrial electrical knowledge and real troubleshooting instinct.
- Comfort working on both electrical and mechanical machinery.
- The independence to work solo at a customer site, and the temperament to work with a crew.
- Professional communication and a customer-friendly attitude.
- Safe work practices, every time.

GOOD TO KNOW

- On-call rotation. When a customer is down and needs us, the hour on the clock does not matter. We have a team of on-call technicians, and you will be on call every eight weeks on average. There is extra compensation for on-call personnel.
- Overtime and weekend work come up during busy service periods, and they are paid at overtime and double time rates.
- The role is based out of our shop on Wall Street in Winnipeg, with travel to customer sites.
- We are filling more than one of these positions.

PAY, BENEFITS AND TIME
- Market-competitive salary paid to market rates for your trade and experience, reviewed as you grow.
- Overtime and double time for on-call, weekend and holiday work, plus extra compensation for on-call rotation.
- $2,500 Health Spending Account every year.
- Health benefits plan including vision and dental, premiums shared equally, with optional extended coverage.




- A total 4% retirement match, split between a DPSP and an RPSP.
- Vacation, paid personal days and unpaid personal days when life needs more room.
- Flex time. Start early, start late, bank time and take it back.
- Company-sponsored training and certifications, plus manufacturer training on new equipment.
- Monthly phone allowance.
- Online health and wellness support, parking at the door on Wall Street, and the appreciation pizza lunches people still talk about.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

This role is based at our shop on Wall Street in Winnipeg. Immigrants with a valid work permit or permanent residency are welcome to apply. We cannot sponsor visas at this time, so you must be legally entitled to work in Canada and willing to relocate to Winnipeg.
