Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) is recruiting on behalf of a large, established environmental services and fleet operations organization in the Brampton area. This is a leadership opportunity for a maintenance professional who understands that fleet uptime, safety, and technician development directly drive operational success.

If you've been supervising heavy-duty mechanics or running a maintenance shop and want to step into a role with real operational impact, this is a strong next move.

What You'll Be Responsible For:

You will oversee the daily maintenance operations of a service fleet and lead a team of technicians to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient vehicle availability.

Your day-to-day work will include:

• Implementing preventive maintenance programs and inspections

• Coordinating staffing, scheduling, and shop workflow

• Coaching, mentoring, and performance managing employees

• Supporting safety programs and regulatory compliance

• Reviewing capital equipment needs and maintenance standards

• Managing maintenance budgets and controlling operating costs

• Using fleet management systems and maintenance tracking tools

• Driving a positive team culture and strong safety environment

This is a hands-on leadership role — you'll be on the shop floor, working closely with mechanics and operations teams to keep the fleet moving.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years leadership experience supervising mechanics or technicians

• Experience managing a heavy-duty fleet, truck shop, or equipment maintenance operation

• Background in transportation, waste services, municipal fleet, construction equipment, logistics, or similar industry

• Strong knowledge of preventive maintenance and fleet reliability

• Experience coaching and developing technicians

• Valid driver's license

• Ability to work onsite afternoons (2:00 PM – 10:30 PM)

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience in a unionized environment

• Managing 310T (Truck & Coach) mechanics or heavy-duty mechanics

• 310T license (asset, not required)

• Experience with maintenance work order systems or fleet software

• Budget oversight and cost-control experience

What You'll Receive:

• Competitive salary ($90K–$105K CAD)

• Performance bonus

• Comprehensive benefits package

• Retirement savings plan with company match

• Paid vacation and holidays

• Long-term stability with a well-established organization

• Opportunity to grow into senior operations leadership
