At Advanced Medical Solutions, we don’t just support healthcare - we deliver critical services to communities across Northern Canada. From air ambulance and ground ambulance to community paramedicine and industrial medical services, our work matters, and so do the people behind it.
We’re looking for an organized, proactive, and solutions-focused Operations Coordinator to join our Yellowknife headquarters and help keep the equipment, vehicles, systems, and operational resources behind our services running safely and efficiently.
