You will develop your skills and experience as an Apprentice, working at one or more of our repair shops throughout the Region. The machinery and equipment that you will service is used for snow and ice removal, repairs, and maintenance for the provincial road network.
Under the supervision of the Fleet Service Coordinator and/or a certified mechanic, you will assist with:

Work is performed in a mechanical repair environment occasioned by noise, smoke and gas fumes and at times adverse weather conditions while operating in a field environment. There are two (2) opportunities in the Sydney/Baddeck Fleet Services Area including Zones 1, 2 and 3. Apprentices are required to supply their own tools. Candidates are asked to include confirmation of current apprentice hours with their application. This documentation will also determine your hourly rate of pay.
