About this job

Our company is hiring a seasonal Machine Driver Operator to keep the airport's runways, grounds and facilities running through the winter.

What you'll do

  • Operate equipment such as wheeled articulating loaders, commercial trucks, and plow/wing plow trucks for winter snow clearing
  • Check equipment regularly for mechanical issues and handle minor fixes yourself, flagging bigger problems to management
  • Inspect your work areas, tools and PPE, and report any safety concerns or deficiencies
  • Help with facility upkeep, wildlife control, vegetation removal, airside driving, radio communication, and general repairs
  • Take on varied tasks that don't involve heavy equipment, like fence repair, line painting, crack sealing and building maintenance

Requirements

  • Valid DZ driver's license (or equivalent that can be transferred) with Air Brake Endorsement

  • Legally entitled to work in Canada
  • Able to pass a recent police records check (required for a Restricted Area Pass)
  • Comfortable with physical work outdoors and indoors, and able to work independently or as part of a team under changing conditions

After you're hired

  • You'll get an Industry Canada Radio License for airport use within your first 30 days
  • You'll complete training for an Airside Vehicle Operator Permit (AVOP) within 30 days
  • You'll finish winter operations training before doing any snow removal
  • All certification, licensing and training is provided on the job
