Build More Than a Fleet. Build a Career.

Curtis Powerworks Inc. is a growing, family owned and operated utility line construction company serving Newfoundland for 35 years. We operate and maintain a modern fleet of specialized utility equipment and are looking for an experienced Red Seal Heavy Duty Equipment Technician to lead our maintenance department.

If you're looking for a long-term opportunity where your experience is valued, your ideas are heard, and your work directly impacts the success of the company, we'd like to hear from you.

- Coordinate parts purchasing and inventory
- Work closely with operations to prioritize equipment availability
- Maintain accurate maintenance records using our fleet management software

We are looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, leading by example,



and building a maintenance program that supports a growing company.

Who We're Looking For
