Job Description

Kickstart your career as a Heavy Equipment Apprentice at Liebherr-Canada Ltd. !

We’re looking for a self-driven 2nd-year Heavy Equipment Apprentice who’s ready to get their hands dirty and level up fast. This hybrid role gives you the best of both worlds: you’ll be out in the field working on concrete pumps that keep major projects moving, and back in the shop gaining hands-on experience with earth-moving equipment and critical components.

You’ll build a strong foundation across hydraulics, electrical, and mechanical systems while learning from experienced technicians who know their craft. In the field, you’ll tackle real-time challenges and diagnostics on concrete pumps. In the shop, you’ll focus on earth-moving equipment and components—diving deeper into repairs, rebuilds, and precision work in a controlled environment.

If you’re curious, mechanically inclined, and eager to grow into a well-rounded technician with both field and shop expertise, this is where your future starts.
