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.
Levitt-Safety is looking for an experienced, hands-on technician to join our team in Thunder Bay.
In this field-based role, you’ll work independently at customer sites, represent Levitt-Safety in the community, and help keep people, equipment, and operations safe. If you’re mechanically inclined, safety-focused, and enjoy being the person customers can count on to get the job done right, this is an opportunity to put your skills to work in a role that matters.
This is a Monday-Friday role but could eventually switch to a compressed work schedule either of 7-7 or 14-14. The right candidate must be comfortable to do so.
Mechanically inclined but new to fire suppression? We’ll provide the training and support you need to succeed.
What you’ll do
This is a hands-on, field-based role where no two days are exactly the same. You’ll work directly with customers to inspect, service, repair, and maintain fire suppression and other Fire & Life Safety equipment.
You’ll:
- Inspect, service, repair, and maintain vehicle fire suppression systems and Fire & Life Safety equipment
- Perform life safety inspections and audits, identify hazards, and recommend preventative maintenance or corrective action
- Provide equipment training to customers and end users
- Travel to customer sites, including underground mining environments
- Work independently in the field while staying connected with Levitt-Safety’s technical team
- Build strong customer relationships through professionalism, reliability, and clear communication
- Complete service reports and documentation using mobile technology
- Travel approximately 50%, including overnight and extended trips as required

You don’t need to have experience in every area below. We’re looking for someone with strong mechanical skills, a willingness to learn, and the confidence to work independently in the field.
- Hands-on experience working with vehicles, heavy equipment, or motorized equipment
- Strong mechanical aptitude and basic electrical knowledge
- Comfortable using hand and power tools
- Fire suppression experience is a strong asset
