K'(Prime) Technologies Inc., or K'(Prime), is a global imaging services company based in Calgary, Alberta, and is wholly owned by Nanalysis Scientific Corp. (TSXV: NSCI, OTCQX: NSCIF, FRA: 1N1). K'(Prime)’s business includes chemistry, commercial security, next-generation AI-powered security equipment sales, and airport imaging, such as X-ray and millimeter wave imaging. K'(Prime) offers airport imaging equipment maintenance across all Canadian provinces and territories. We are seeking motivated, problem-solving individuals to join our team of over 130 skilled imaging services technicians, who play a vital role in Canada’s aviation security.

The District Manager, Imaging Operations, is the key leader responsible for overseeing and managing imaging activities within your assigned District. Each district will include at least one (1) Class 1 airport and remote site(s). Your main responsibility is to lead a team of imaging services technicians across various work centres, ensuring the delivery of high-quality technical support and services in line with contractual obligations and expected service levels. In addition to technical oversight, you will handle handling administrative and managerial tasks essential to the district’s success and the overall well-being of the company.
