- Support the Broader Team: Adapt seamlessly to campus projects, seasonal duties, preventative maintenance, and general repairs when exterior work isn't scheduled.

- A safety-conscious technician who is confident and comfortable working at heights and outdoors.
- A collaborative team player who thrives in a warm, community-driven culture.
- A proactive problem-solver with a flexible, positive attitude who adapts easily to shifting priorities.
Don't miss the chance to leave your mark on one of Canada's most beautiful campuses.
