Reefer Technician | Truck & Trailer Refrigeration | 4-Night Week | Rocky View County, AB This role may also be known as: Transport Refrigeration Technician, Reefer Mechanic, Truck and Trailer Refrigeration Technician, Refrigeration Unit Technician What if your work week ended on Thursday night, every week? This role runs Monday to Thursday, 4:00 PM to 2:30 AM, which means a three-day weekend is simply part of the job.

You will be the technician who keeps the cold chain moving.

Every refrigeration unit you diagnose and repair gets a load back on the road safely, and roughly 70 percent of your time is spent doing what valuable reefer techs enjoy most: troubleshooting with scanners, test equipment and on-board computers, chasing down codes and leaks, and getting units running right.

This is a shop that invests in its technicians.

You get money toward your tools and boots, support to keep learning, and real opportunities to step into leadership and training as you grow.

Why This Opportunity Is Different Most night shift roles ask you to give up your weekends.

This one gives you three of them every week.

Pay starts at $33 to $37 an hour depending on experience, and a $1.50 an hour night shift premium sits on top of that.

You will work in a structured, KPI-driven shop with a dedicated parts department, clear PM guidelines and a Shop Supervisor you report to directly.

Experienced technicians coach and mentor apprentices and journeymen, and the role is designed to position you for more senior roles within shop operations.

There is no travel, unless you choose to attend training.
