Role Overview

As a Shop Technician at Impak, you will work alongside field service technicians and fellow shop technicians on electrical and mechanical builds, troubleshooting, and rework — including ESA/CSA SPE‑1000 pre‑inspections. You'll also collaborate closely with shipping, purchasing, and sales departments to ensure on-time shipments and alignment with customer expectations. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role requiring strong technical skills and a proactive, team-oriented mindset.

• Work directly with field service technicians and shop technicians on machine builds, troubleshooting, and testing.
• Conduct mechanical assembly of equipment from drawings, schematics, and build packages.
• Complete light fabrication tasks, such as drilling, cutting, and minor fitting.
• Ensure on-time shipping by coordinating final prep and packaging with the shipping department.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop environment with proper inventory and tool control.
• Collaborate with purchasing and sales teams to align material availability and delivery expectations.
• Participate in ongoing equipment maintenance, shop improvement, and troubleshooting tasks.

Qualifications

• Minimum 1 year of experience in a mechanical or electrical assembly environment.
• Proficiency with hand and power tools.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical drawings/schematics.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Clear verbal and written communication in English.
• Highly organized with an eye for detail and deadlines.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with technical and non-technical teams.
• Note: Forklift experience is an asset, but not required.

Valuable Skills (Assets)

• Welding (MIG, TIG, or gas)
• Machining (e.g., drill press, mill, lathe)
• Experience with packaging equipment, automation, or custom machine builds

Why Join Impak?

• Be a key contributor in a fast-growing, hands-on equipment division
• Work on real-world systems with tangible customer impact
• Collaborate with a knowledgeable, cross-functional team in a dynamic work environment
• Opportunities for skill development across electrical, mechanical, and operational domains
