The Opportunity

This isn’t just another mechanic job — it’s a role with real impact.

You’ll be working at a key northern airport where reliability isn’t optional — it’s essential. Every piece of equipment you maintain directly supports safety, logistics, and connectivity for an entire region.

Based in Iqaluit, Nunavut, this role offers a rare combination of technical challenge, purpose-driven work, and long-term career stability.

If you’re the kind of mechanic who thrives in hands-on environments and takes pride in keeping critical systems running — this is where you stand out.

Fly-In / Fly-Out Option Available:

- Structured rotations of 6–8+ weeks on-site
- Employer-paid flights (employee only)
- In office housing provided (single occupancy, shared accommodations)

This setup is ideal for individuals comfortable with extended rotations and independent living arrangements.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Execute preventative maintenance programs to maximize fleet uptime
- Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair heavy equipment and specialized vehicles
- Manage and complete both scheduled and reactive work orders
- Support parts sourcing and inventory for critical repairs
- Maintain accurate service records using CMMS systems

- Comfortable working extended hours and in extreme conditions
- Independent, reliable, and team-oriented

Compensation & Work Model

- Northern Living Allowance (~$7.21/hour / ~$15,000 annually)
- 100% employer-paid benefits
- Healthcare spending account
- Defined Benefit pension plan

Housing Details:

- Provided as a taxable benefit (minimal cost impact)
- Shared accommodations (private bedroom, shared common spaces)
- Lease agreement required

Work Model:

- Onsite (Iqaluit, Nunavut)
- Fly-in / fly-out option available with extended rotations
