VFSS Install Technician

Making Canada a safer place to live and work for over 90 years.

As Canada's trusted safety partner since 1935, we work alongside customers coast to coast to help ensure people return home safely at the end of every shift.

Role Summary

This is a hands-on, field-based role focused on the installation, service, and maintenance of vehicle fire suppression systems on heavy equipment. The successful candidate must be comfortable with regular travel to customer and mine sites and flexible with scheduling, as the role will likely transition to a compressed work schedule, such as 7-on/7-off or 14-on/14-off, depending on operational needs.

Main Responsibilities

• Install, inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain vehicle fire suppression systems (VFSS) and other fire and life safety equipment at customer sites
• Conduct life safety inspections and audits, identifying required maintenance and providing value-added recommendations where appropriate
• Perform system testing and ensure installations and repairs meet applicable requirements
• Provide site-specific training and guidance to equipment owners and end-users
• Provide in-shop installation and service support as required
• Maintain assigned service vehicle, inventory, tools, and equipment
• Work closely with the Service Coordinator to schedule work and maintain appropriate inventory levels
• Accurately complete service documentation and all applicable health, safety, work-related, and ISO paperwork
• Perform after-hours and on-call duties as required
• Be the Face of Levitt-Safety for our customers, providing professional service and supporting their onsite fire and life safety needs

Ideal Qualifications

• Previous experience installing, servicing, or maintaining vehicle fire suppression systems is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate with a comparable mechanical skill set
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills, with basic electrical knowledge and experience using hand and power tools
• Experience working with heavy equipment, vehicles, mining equipment, or in a mechanical shop or similar hands-on environment is a strong asset
• Experience, education, or training involving fire protection or suppression systems is an asset
• Strong customer service and communication skills
• Comfortable using technology such as iPads, cell phones, and laptops
• Valid driver’s licence with a clean driver’s abstract
• Must successfully complete required pre-employment screening, including drug and alcohol testing and a criminal background check

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly compensation of $30.00–$35.00/hour, based on experience and qualifications
• Medical, dental, vision, EAP, and other group health insurance benefits for you and your family
• Company-matched RRSP contribution plan
• Annual profit-sharing opportunity
• Training and development to build your technical knowledge of vehicle fire suppression systems
• A company culture based on our Face of Levitt-Safety Fundamentals and family values, where we truly believe that people are our most important asset

Choose the Safe Way, Always

This is a physically demanding and safety-sensitive role involving heavy equipment and a variety of customer and mine-site environments. The successful candidate must bring a safety-first mindset to every job, following established procedures, recognizing potential hazards, and choosing the safe way, always. You must be comfortable lifting and carrying up to 50 lbs. unassisted, working in restricted or confined spaces such as engine compartments, working at heights on large equipment using ladders and walkways, driving and sitting for extended periods, and frequently walking on uneven terrain. Good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity are also important for safely completing installations and service work.
