Automotive Painter, Alberta Canada (Relocation) Full Time

About the Employer:

Our client is a well-established, family-owned company located in a rural Alberta community north of Edmonton. Its operations span heavy equipment and truck sales, reconditioning, transportation, and agriculture.

This is not a large city dealership where technicians work on the same types of units every day. The company buys, reconditions, and sells a constantly changing range of used trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, and specialized machinery. One week may bring highway trucks into the shop, while the next brings construction, agricultural, or industrial equipment.

You will work in a fully equipped, hands-on shop alongside an experienced team, with the owners actively involved in the day-to-day operation. Employees are trusted to take ownership of their work, solve problems, and help return each unit to a safe, reliable working standard.

The position is based in rural Alberta and is best suited to someone who is prepared to relocate and establish a long-term life in the community. Candidates relocating with a spouse or children are welcome, and the location offers a quieter, family-oriented lifestyle within driving distance of Edmonton.
