We are looking for a dedicated, licensed Residential Maintenance Electrician to join our growing team who will be responsible for the electrical upkeep of our residential property portfolio in Winnipeg & Selkirk, Manitoba. Unlike new construction, this role focuses on the lifecycle of occupied buildings—performing rapid repairs for tenants, conducting preventative maintenance, and managing electrical turnovers for new move-ins.

- Preventative Maintenance: Conduct routine inspections of common areas, parking lot lighting, emergency exit signs, and mechanical rooms.
- System Upgrades: Lead small-scale retrofits, such as converting building lighting to LED or installing thermostats and intercom systems.
- Safety Compliance: Ensure all smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and GFCI outlets are tested and operational according to the Manitoba Fire Code.
- Vendor Coordination: Work alongside external contractors for major system overhauls or specialized fire alarm testing.
- Ensure high standards of workmanship and efficiency
- Adhere to established safe working procedures and wear the proper safety equipment at all times
- Adhere to company policies and standards for cost control, waste reduction, quality, safety, and complete and on-time delivery
- Ensure accurate and timely project close date; help supervisors to adjust working schedules to ensure deadlines are met
- Perform daily maintenance and safety checks on all equipment and tools
- Maintain a clean working area free from dirt and debris between tasks and at the end of day

- Tools & Transport: Must possess a basic set of hand tools and a valid Class 5 Driver’s License with a clean driver's abstract (a company service vehicle will be provided for work purposes only). CSA Approved Steele toe work shoes required.
- Clearance: Must provide a clear Criminal Record Check (vulnerable sector) as work involves entering private residences.
