Driver Requirements

Technicians drive RestoTech vehicles. These requirements are set by our commercial automobile insurer. If you do not meet them, we cannot put you on the policy, no matter how good the rest of your application is.

You must have:

- A valid full Class 5 driver licence. Graduated and probationary licences do not qualify.
- At least three years of clean, continuous,



and recent insurance history.
- No at fault claims in the last five years.
- A five year driving abstract showing:
- No major convictions in the last three years.
- No more than three minor convictions in the last three years.
- No criminal convictions in the last three years.

What counts as a major conviction

Distracted driving. Driving without valid insurance. Driving without a valid licence. Excessive speeding, often 50 km/h or more over the limit. Failure to report an accident. Careless or stunt driving offences. Serious school or playground zone violations. Failing to stop for a stop sign or a red light. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This is not an exhaustive list.

What counts as a minor conviction

Speeding that is not excessive. Failure to obey a traffic sign. Improper lane change. Following too closely. Failure to yield the right of way. Improper turn. Failing to signal a turn or a lane change. Improper backing. Seatbelt infractions. Driving with defective equipment, depending on the circumstances. Failure to carry a driver licence. Failure to produce an insurance card. This is not an exhaustive list.

These requirements come from our insurer and can change. What counts as a major or a minor conviction is interpreted differently between provinces and municipalities, so the final decision rests with the insurer.

Hiring Process

Step 1: Prescreen Call (10 to 12 minutes)

We confirm your experience, your availability for emergency response, your comfort with documentation and safety, and your driver eligibility.

Step 2 — Interview + Skills Test

An interview with the supervisor, including a 20-minute online skills test.

Step 3 — Conditional Offer & Verification

You provide your up to date driving licence, your five-year driving abstract, and your five-year insurance history.



RestoTech then arranges the criminal record check (including vulnerable sector screening) and the drug and alcohol test.

Your offer is conditional on satisfactory results from all verifications.

Drug and Alcohol Testing

This is a safety sensitive position. Restoration Technicians drive company vehicles, operate power tools and specialized drying and abatement equipment, work at heights and in confined spaces, and work inside occupied homes and multi unit residential buildings alongside coworkers, clients, and members of the public. Impairment while performing this work creates a direct risk of responsible injury to you, to your coworkers, and to the people whose homes we are working in, as well as a risk of significant damage to client property.

For that reason, and consistent with our obligations under applicable occupational health and safety legislation and our duty to provide and maintain a safe workplace, all offers of employment for this position are conditional on a satisfactory pre employment drug and alcohol test. Once hired, technicians remain subject to the RestoTech Drug and Alcohol Policy for the duration of their employment, including post incident and reasonable cause testing.

RestoTech accommodates candidates and employees to the point of undue hardship in accordance with applicable human rights legislation, including anyone with a dependence on drugs or alcohol. If you need accommodation at any stage of the recruitment process or in relation to testing, tell us and we will work with you.

RestoTech Solutions is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from all qualified individuals regardless of race, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation, age, or any other protected ground under the Alberta Human Rights Act.
