Maintenance Technician (Whitehorse)

We shape, build, and connect the North. We do this by anchoring our work in Drive, Rigour, and Kindness – ambition in what we pursue, discipline in how we deliver, and respect in how we lead.

The Opportunity

This role supports that portfolio on the ground in Whitehorse, helping keep buildings safe, functional, and well maintained through responsive day-to-day repairs and preventative maintenance.

No two days look exactly the same.

What Does Your Success Look Like?

• Work orders are completed promptly and repairs are done right the first time.

• Properties remain safe and functional because hazards and maintenance issues are addressed quickly.
• Preventative maintenance reduces breakdowns and unexpected repairs.
• Seasonal risks, including winter conditions, are managed proactively to keep sites safe and accessible.
