Red Seal Automotive Service Technician – Journey personBannister GP Kia | Grande Prairie, Alberta
Full-time | Competitive Flat-Rate Compensation
The Work Is Already Here. We Need Another Great Technician.
If you’re a productive Red Seal technician, you shouldn’t have to spend your day waiting for the next repair order.
At Bannister GP Kia, our customer-pay business is growing, vehicle sales are taking off, and our used-vehicle department is generating a steady stream of reconditioning work. We have more work than our current team can comfortably handle - and we’re adding another technician to help us keep pace.
That means a strong mix of maintenance, brakes, suspension, inspections, used-car reconditioning, warranty repairs, and diagnostics. There are plenty of productive, straightforward âgravy hoursâ available, along with more challenging work that keeps your skills sharp.
We’re looking for a Red Seal Automotive Service Technician who wants to flag hours, produce quality work, and grow with a dealership that is building momentum.
Why This Opportunity Is Different:
This isnât a position built around the promise that more work might come. The work is here now.
Our growing service business and accelerating new- and used-vehicle sales are creating consistent demand across the shop. Used-car reconditioning provides another dependable source of hours, helping keep technicians productive while supporting the continued growth of the entire dealership.
Youâll have the opportunity to:
- Work from an established and growing repair-order pipeline
- Flag strong hours through a healthy mix of maintenance, repair, and reconditioning work
- Balance productive “gravy” jobs with advanced diagnostic and technical repairs
- Work with modern Kia vehicles, technology, diagnostic equipment, and OEM repair information
- Build your career inside a growing dealership and across Bannister Automotive Group
What Youâll Be Doing:
- Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and drivability concerns
- Perform scheduled maintenance and general mechanical repairs
- Complete brake, steering, suspension, tire, and alignment-related work
- Inspect and recondition used vehicles efficiently and thoroughly
- Complete accurate multi-point inspections and document required or recommended repairs
- Follow Kia OEM procedures, technical information, and quality standards
- Communicate clearly with Service Advisors and Parts personnel
- Complete repair orders accurately and provide detailed technician notes
- Perform post-repair road tests and quality-control inspections
- Maintain an organized, productive, and safe work area
- Support apprentices and contribute to a positive, team-oriented shop
What You Bring:
- Red Seal Automotive Service Technician certification
- Alberta Journeyperson certification or recognized equivalent
- Strong mechanical, electrical, and diagnostic capabilities
- The ability to produce efficiently without sacrificing workmanship
- Pride in fixing vehicles correctly the first time
- Strong inspection and documentation habits
- Comfort using scan tools, diagnostic equipment, repair software, and OEM information
- A productive, team-first attitude
- Valid driver’s licence with an acceptable driving abstract
Kia or dealership experience is an asset, but it is not required. What matters most is your ability, productivity, professionalism, and willingness to contribute to a growing operation.
What We Offer:
- Competitive flat-rate compensation based on experience and demonstrated ability
- A busy shop with work already waiting
- Strong earning potential for productive technicians
- Consistent used-vehicle reconditioning generated by growing vehicle sales
- A varied workload that includes customer-pay, warranty, maintenance, diagnostic, and recon work
- Extended health, dental, and vision benefits
- Group RSP contribution program
- Kia OEM training and continued technical development
- Career advancement within Bannister GP Kia
- Group-wide opportunities across Bannister Automotive Group
- Relocation assistance available for the right candidate
- A professional, supportive shop where strong performance is recognized
