Job description

Tow Truck Driver - Service Vehicle Operator

Apply for the Tow Truck Driver - Service Vehicle Operator role at AMA - Alberta Motor Association.

The Opportunity

Our AMA brand is important to us, and we set the bar for the towing industry. One in five Albertans are an AMA member and count on us to keep them safe.

AMA leads the towing industry in compensation, with a competitive base salary and an achievable performance incentive program. Starting earnings up to $28.50 per hour are possible, plus paid comprehensive training, employer-paid benefits, company-provided safety apparel, and safety standards that exceed industry levels.

AMA uses the best towing equipment and provides a first‑class member experience.

Becoming an AMA Service Vehicle Operator is a prospective career change option into the dynamic towing industry—no prior tow experience is required.

Successful candidates will be trained on standard service vehicle operation and will work 8‑hour shifts alternating biweekly between morning shifts (6 : 00 am – 2 : 00 pm or 7 : 00 am – 3 : 00 pm) and afternoon shifts (3 : 00 pm – 11 : 00 pm or 4 : 00 pm – 12 : 00 am). Weekend coverage alternates every 4 weeks (4 weeks of Monday‑Friday, 4 weeks of Saturday & Sunday, with 2 days off during the week). Additional hours and overtime are available.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and flexible benefits with five packages to choose from and up to $3,000 in health and wellness spending accounts.
  • Employer‑paid retirement savings program, including 5 % AMA contribution and 5 % matching.
  • Employee‑exclusive discounts on travel, insurance, memberships, driver education, registry services, and more.
  • Free travel medical insurance for you and your immediate family.
  • Ongoing professional development, with unlimited learning opportunities, full Udemy access, and dedicated time for personal growth.
  • Paid vacation and personal days, including three weeks of vacation to start, a Me Day, a Volunteer Day, and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
  • A generous annual allowance for work apparel, safety footwear and AMA uniforms totaling $850 per year.
  • Shift schedule given three months in advance with no overnight or split shifts. Overtime opportunities are available.

Who You Are

You are someone who goes out of their way to help others, whether it’s helping a young mother with a stroller or carrying groceries for an elderly person. You are willing to learn, have an interest in the automotive industry, and enjoy working with your hands. You think quickly on your feet, value safety, and prefer a job that offers variety over a 9‑to‑5 desk job. You can work independently and enjoy being part of a team, and you care about doing things right.

  • Interest in the automotive industry and hands‑on work, including lifting.
  • Quick, creative problem solving.
  • Variety over routine desk work.
  • Independent and collaborative work style.
  • Safety‑first attitude.
  • How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Report to the Fleet Supervisor.
  • Work rotational shift work (weekdays, evenings, weekends & statutory holidays).
  • Actively work outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Cover extended areas of the city to respond to members needing service, minor mechanical assistance, or towing.
  • Maintain AMA vehicles, communication equipment, and tools in good working condition.
  • Promote AMA memberships and provide general information to members.
  • Stay up to date on communications and operating equipment.
  • Ensure PPE is used and worn at all times.
  • Follow engineered controls, work procedures, policies, and safety practices per the Service Vehicle Operator handbook.
  • What You Bring To the Table

  • High school diploma or relevant experience.
  • Valid Class 5 licence with fewer than six demerit points at any time, and comfort operating a full‑size pickup truck (bonus for city route knowledge).
  • Passion for helping fellow Albertans.

  • Ability to thrive while working outdoors in all seasons.
  • Ability to pass a Police Information Check and obtain an Automotive Lock Bypass licence.
  • Our Recruitment Process

  • Step 1 – Apply online. Include a cover letter describing your interest, passion, and relevant experience.
  • Step 2 – Prescreen video call with Talent Scouts to discuss responsibilities, compensation, training, progression, and confirm minimum qualifications.
  • Step 3 – In‑person interview with Fleet Supervisors. Bring a recent driver abstract and supervisory references.
  • Step 4 – Pre‑employment checks : physical test (repetitive motions, cardio, weighted squats) and Professional Driving Assessment.
  • Step 5 – Offer and start date : upon completion of checks, discuss start date and complete Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Check.
  • Step 6 – First week orientation with team and new hire training.
  • Belonging Matters Here

    AMA is committed to providing an inclusive, respectful, and accessible environment. If you require an accommodation anytime during the recruitment process, please contact recruitment@ama.ab.ca . We’ll work with you to feel supported throughout your journey with us.
