West Coast Reduction Ltd. - Nothing Left Behind
- At West Coast Reduction, nothing is important to us. Because when there’s nothing left – that is when we’ve done our job. We collect food waste and by-products from food producers, like farms, restaurants, bakeries and even supermarkets, transforming them into ingredients used in animal feed, renewable energy and thousands of other products we use every day. Our efforts contribute to a sustainable local food supply, and help us all live in cleaner and healthier communities. Visit our Company website at to learn more.
Based at our Edmonton plant location, the Heavy Duty Mechanic is responsible for inspecting, diagnosing, repairing and performing preventative maintenance servicing on commercial transport vehicles. Reviewing work orders and evaluating repairs are also important tasks of the role. HD Mechanics also provide performance evaluations, mentorship, and supervision to HD Mechanical Apprentices.
Your own transportation to the workplace is required due to lack of public transportation available. The Edmonton Plant is located just north of Sherwood Park. As a part of West Coast Reduction Ltd.'s hiring process, we request applicants to complete a background check for employment purposes.
