About Zuma

Zuma Lift Service is expanding, and we’re looking for an experienced automotive mechanic (5+ years) ready for a rewarding career change. If you’ve mastered cars and trucks, now’s your chance to step into medium-duty aerial equipment - boom lifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers - with more room to work, better pay, and a cleaner, more specialized trade.

Why Make the Switch?

If you’ve spent years in automotive, you know the grind:

Flat-rate pay pressure that punishes you for tough jobs
Cramped engine bays where every bolt means bashed knuckles
Straining your neck under cars on hoists
Grease pits and messy work day after day

At Zuma, It’s Different

Hourly pay: $40–$45/hr = $83k–$93.5k/year (no flat rate)
Easy access: Engines, hydraulics, and electrical systems designed for service
Cleaner work: No grease pits, no crawling under cars all day
Better hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–3:30 pm - home every afternoon
Full benefits: Health, dental, vision, paid time off, and more
Training & Growth: Full manufacturer training plus on-site mentoring from senior techs
Local career: Work in Chilliwack, no long commutes into Surrey or Vancouver

What You’ll Work On

Engine diagnostics & repair: injectors, starters, alternators, fuel systems
Hydraulic systems: cylinders, seals, coils, valves
Electrical: joysticks, sensors, circuit boards (support provided)
Preventive maintenance and inspections

What You Bring

5+ years as a senior auto tech or mechanic
Strong gas & diesel troubleshooting skills
Strong in electrical diagnostics
Familiarity with hydraulics (or willingness to learn)
Computer and diagnostic software skills
A solid tool set and problem-solving mindset

No more flat rates. No more cramped bays. No more grease pits.

At Zuma, you’ll get the pay, training, and lifestyle that make mechanics want to stay in the trade.

Apply today or stop by our shop in Chilliwack to see how this could be a better career for you.
