“Everything We Do is Driven by You”, your passion, your purpose, your potential.

Michael Currie’s heavy-duty team at Steele Ford Halifax is looking for a Automotive Diesel Technician who’s ready to crush hours, build a lasting career, and join one of Atlantic Canada’s busiest and most trusted Ford service departments.

Why Steele Ford Halifax?

We’re not your average dealership. At Steele Ford Halifax, you’ll be working in a high-performing shop with reliable workflow, and a team that’s got your back.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Ford Factory Support – Access to the latest Ford diagnostic tools, training, and technical support.

Compensation That Rewards Your Hustle

  • Flat Rate Pay: $41/hour – based on your skills, certifications, and productivity
  • Biweekly Minimum Guarantee – 64 flat-rate hours to give you income stability
  • Incentive Program – Bonus dollars banked for every billable hour produced and paid out annually to help you hit your personal goals (new garage, family trip, your call!)

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Diagnose and repair diesel and gas vehicles to Ford and manufacturer standards
  • Perform MVIs and ensure all repairs meet safety and quality requirements
  • Communicate clearly with your team and service advisors, no surprises
  • Keep up with evolving tech through training in a well-equipped, clean shop

What You Bring

  • Red Seal Certification – Automotive or Heavy-Duty
  • Valid MVI License
  • Strong diagnostic skills and time management
  • A clean driver’s license and abstract
  • A team-first mindset and commitment to excellence

Please note: For safety reasons, facial hair that interferes with a respirator seal is not permitted. Let us know if accommodation is needed.
