Cranbrook, British Columbia | Four-Day Work Week
Why Work Here
At New West Truck Centres, we believe a great career shouldn't come at the expense of the life you've built outside of work. Located in the heart of British Columbia's East Kootenays, our Cranbrook branch gives you the opportunity to build a rewarding career while enjoying one of Canada's best outdoor lifestyles. Imagine finishing your shift and being on the golf course, at the lake, on a mountain bike trail, or at home with your family in minutes instead of sitting in traffic.

A four-day work week gives you more time to enjoy everything the East Kootenays have to offer.
