Who We Are:

Through its divisions and subsidiary companies, including Windows & Doors by Muskoka Lumber, Proline Rentals, and Jo/Ross Design Inc., the organization provides a broad range of building material, rental, design, and construction support services.

We are seeking a skilled Field Service Technician to serve as a key member of our Fleet & Equipment Maintenance team. Although this position supports the broader Muskoka Lumber group of companies, its primary responsibility is maintaining and repairing the equipment fleet supporting Proline Rentals and Bin operations. Working throughout Simcoe, Muskoka, and Parry Sound, the successful candidate will provide field-based diagnostics, maintenance, and repair services at customer job sites and company locations, contributing directly to equipment reliability and uptime, operational efficiency, and exceptional customer service experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

As the Field Service Technician, you will provide expert field-based diagnostics, maintenance, repair, and preventative maintenance services across a diverse fleet of light and heavy equipment. In this role, you will:

• Perform field diagnostics, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repairs on a wide variety of heavy and light equipment, including aerial work platforms, earthmoving equipment, compaction equipment, generators, small engines, and waste/bin handling equipment.
• Inspect, diagnose, and repair hydraulic, electrical, fuel, powertrain, steering, suspension, braking, and engine systems while utilizing schematics, service manuals, diagnostic software, and testing equipment.
• Perform preventative maintenance programs, safety inspections, operational testing, and equipment certifications to maximize reliability, compliance, and equipment lifespan.
• Maintain rental fleet, company-owned equipment, and operational assets to ensure equipment readiness and minimize downtime.
• Travel regularly throughout Simcoe, Muskoka, and Parry Sound using an assigned company service vehicle to provide onsite service support at company locations and customer job sites.
• Complete electronic work orders, service reports, inspection records, and maintenance documentation accurately and on time.
• Support Proline Rentals, Bin operations, Muskoka Lumber locations, Windows & Doors by Muskoka Lumber, Jo/Ross Design Inc., and other associated operations through responsive equipment support and repair services.
• Communicate equipment status, repair recommendations, maintenance requirements, and repair timelines with customers, operators, and internal stakeholders.
• Maintain compliance with company policies, legislative requirements, manufacturer specifications, and workplace safety standards while promoting a strong safety culture.
• Assist with major overhauls, equipment commissioning, shop repairs, inventory management, training, and other maintenance initiatives as required.

What You Bring:

At Muskoka Lumber, we look for professionals who combine strong technical expertise with exceptional customer service, sound judgment, and a commitment to safety and quality workmanship. Required skills, abilities, and attributes include:

• Completion of a post-secondary program or formal apprenticeship recognized by Skilled Trades Ontario related to Heavy Duty Equipment Technician (421A) or Agricultural Equipment Technician (425A)
