General Maintenance & Equipment Technician Level: Hands-on generalist — no formal certificate or trade required

Alternate titles: Maintenance Mechanic / Facility & Equipment Technician / Maintenance Generalist

Purpose A capable, mechanically inclined “do-it-all” maintenance person who keeps equipment, facilities, and systems running across the operation. The right person is a practical problem-solver who can turn their hand to a wide range of repairs and upkeep — no formal trade ticket required, just solid mechanical ability, common sense, and a willingness to take on whatever needs fixing.

Key Responsibilities

General equipment maintenance and repair, including pump replacement and servicing.

Routine servicing of mobile equipment — e.g. changing oil and basic upkeep on skid steers and similar machinery.

Basic electrical work, including replacing and repairing light fixtures and general electrical maintenance.

Welding and basic metal fabrication/repair as needed around the facility and equipment.

Basic plumbing repairs — fixing leaks, replacing fittings, and general water‑line upkeep.

General facility maintenance and handyman tasks to keep sites safe, functional, and tidy.

Respond to breakdowns and maintenance needs promptly to minimize equipment downtime.

Identify recurring issues and suggest practical fixes or improvements.

Work safely and follow site safety practices at all times.

What We're Looking For

Strong overall mechanical aptitude — a person who is naturally good with their hands and equipment.

Working knowledge across several areas: pumps,



small‑engine/equipment servicing, basic electrical, welding, and basic plumbing.

No formal certificate or trade ticket required; relevant hands‑on experience matters more than credentials.

Resourceful and self‑directed — able to diagnose a problem and get it fixed without much oversight.

Reliable, safety‑minded, and comfortable switching between different types of work in a day.

Shift flexible — willing and able to work a flexible schedule, including coverage outside standard hours as needs require.

Nice to Have

Experience in an industrial, plant, or shop environment.

Comfort operating mobile equipment (skid steer, forklift, etc.).

Any welding, electrical, or mechanical experience that broadens the range of jobs they can take on.

Position Details Reports to Site Manager / designate

Schedule Shift flexible — flexible hours including coverage outside standard hours as required

Certificates None required — mechanical ability and hands‑on experience valued over formal trades
