Compressed Work Week | Four 10-Hour Shifts | Lethbridge, AB
Why Work Here
New West Truck Centres has been a trusted name in Western Canada's transportation industry for over 40 years. As an authorized Freightliner and Western Star dealer, we take pride in delivering quality service and exceptional customer support.
Our Lethbridge branch is a key part of our Alberta operations, known for its strong team environment and commitment to customer service. We've built our team around people who care about doing things the right way.
Many of our most successful Service Advisors have come from customer-focused industries like retail, hospitality, and service environments and have grown into long-term careers with us.
Treated Well
Your direct manager is a well-respected and knowledgeable leader who remains calm and supportive, even in challenging situations. They genuinely care about their team and take the time to listen, coach, and support your growth.
Trained Well
You'll receive hands-on training and ongoing development to help you succeed. From in-house programs to manufacturer training and online learning, we invest in building your confidence and skillset.
No prior trucking experience? No problem. We'll teach you the industry.
Paid Well
Our total compensation package offers job security, health, dental, EFAP, vision care, and life insurance.
The salary range for this position is $45,000 to $55,000, based on education and experience. A monthly bonus is also available.
Work-Life Balance
We know time away from work matters. That's why this role offers a compressed work week designed to give you more time for the people and activities you enjoy. With three days off most weeks, you'll have more time to spend with family, pursue your hobbies, or enjoy everything Southern Alberta has to offer.
The Role
Under the supervision of the Service Office Supervisor, the Service Advisor is the face of our business.
You'll welcome customers, understand their needs, and guide them through the service process with confidence and care. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, people-first environment and enjoys solving problems, building relationships, and staying organized.
You do not need prior trucking or automotive experience to succeed. If you bring strong customer service skills, we'll teach you the rest.
A Day in the Life of a Service Advisor
You start your day by checking in with the team and reviewing the schedule. You'll have a mix of planned appointments and unexpected walk-ins, so no two days are ever the same.
As customers arrive, you're the first person they meet. You greet them, ask the right questions, and quickly understand what they need. Some customers know exactly what's going on; others rely on you to guide them. Either way, you make the experience smooth and professional.
Throughout the day, you're balancing multiple priorities. You're updating customers, coordinating with technicians, checking parts availability, and keeping everything moving forward. It's fast-paced, but that's what makes it rewarding.
You'll also solve problems on the fly. Whether it's a delay, a change in scope, or a tight timeline, you stay calm, communicate clearly, and find solutions that work.
By the end of the day, you've helped multiple customers, kept operations running smoothly, and handled whatever came your way.
