Be part of something bigger in the North.
At Advanced Medical Solutions, we don’t just support healthcare — we deliver critical services to communities across Northern Canada. From air ambulance and ground ambulance to community paramedicine and industrial medical services, our work matters, and so do the people behind it.
We’re looking for an organized, proactive, and solutions-focused Operations Coordinator to join our Yellowknife headquarters and help keep the equipment, vehicles, systems, and operational resources behind our services running safely and efficiently.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative, pays attention to the details, and likes being the person who keeps things moving behind the scenes.
About The Role
This is a full-time, in-person role (37.5 hours/week) based at our Yellowknife headquarters near the airport.

You’ll work closely with Operations personnel and teams across AMS to coordinate activities, maintain accurate records, support equipment and fleet readiness, and help ensure the professional and effective delivery of operational services.
As a central point of support for operational assistance, you’ll be responsible for coordinating multiple priorities and helping ensure our teams have the equipment, vehicles, information, and resources they need.
What You'll Be Doing
No two days will look exactly the same. You’ll be coordinating multiple moving pieces and helping ensure our equipment, vehicles, records, and operational systems remain organized, maintained, and ready to support our teams.
