About Us:

Big Country Equipment is a BC-based heavy equipment service and repair company that works with resource-based customers in the construction, forestry, mining, and oil and gas sectors in Western Canada.

We have grown rapidly from a one-truck operation to over 100 employees and a fleet of over 30 fully equipped service trucks, serving customers throughout Western Canada 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We are seeking self-starters who are career-minded, ready, and willing to get the job done safely and positively, and who can work professionally with both coworkers and customers. This job is available in BC, and we have many other locations we are looking after across Canada. We primarily serve open-pit and underground mining and construction operations.

  • Inspect, troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair various types and brands of heavy equipment and shovels.
  • Utilize computerized and other testing equipment to determine repairs and create detailed service reports.

  • Interpret and complete both scheduled and unscheduled work orders.
  • Contribute to the ongoing reliability of all heavy equipment and ensure compliance with preventive maintenance requirements.
  • Test repaired equipment to verify proper maintenance.
  • Make recommendations for repairs and improvement methods.
  • Adhere to all safety protocols, site regulations, and company policies.
  • Maintain up-to-date certification and training as required.
  • Arrive at work fit for duty each day.

Requirements:

  • Must have a minimum of 3 years of recent experience working in the field, preferably working out of a service truck, working with off-road construction and mining equipment.
  • Experience with mining equipment is preferred.
  • Machine brands preferably worked on include Hitachi, Komatsu, CAT, and John Deere.
  • Experience with surface drills is considered an asset.
  • Experience with electric and hydraulic shovels will be considered an asset.
  • Must be a Journeyman Heavy Duty Off-Road Technician.
  • A Red Seal is needed.
  • Solid experience in diagnosing and troubleshooting.

All Successful Candidates Must:

  • Be proficient in English, both verbal and written.
  • Have a valid Class 5 Driver’s License.
  • Provide a minimum of 2 direct supervisor references.
  • Pass a Criminal Record check.
  • Provide a clean 5-year driver’s abstract.
  • Pass an 8-panel drug test (including marijuana) and an alcohol breath test.
  • Be able to lift 50 lbs. comfortably.
  • Not seeking sub-contractor roles (we are not offering subcontractor opportunities at this time).

We thank everyone for applying; however, only those who possess the required knowledge and experience will be contacted for an interview.
