Make a visible difference in your community by leading safe, efficient heavy‑haul operations across the Greater Edmonton region.

• Manage people: Evaluate, train and mentor new Lowboy Operators; support employee relations through coaching and constructive feedback.
• Maintain compliance: Confirm permits, registrations, chains and binders are in place; order supplies through the Trucking Superintendent; uphold company and regulatory policies.

• Proven leader with at least five years’ experience in construction material/equipment transportation.
• Valid Class 1 licence with a satisfactory driving record; successful pre‑employment drug, alcohol and medical testing.
• Strong knowledge of Greater Edmonton road networks and transportation regulations.
• Excellent interpersonal, organisational and problem‑solving skills—reliable, detail‑oriented and hands‑on.
• Confident communicator (oral & written) with good English comprehension.
• Competent with business software: Outlook, FleetWatcher, HCSS, Excel, Word, etc.
• Training in Traffic Safety and supervisory skills is an asset.

• Ability to perform under tight timelines and deadline pressure.
• Must wear appropriate PPE as required by company policy and OH&S regulations.

What You’ll Get
