310T Licensed Mechanic Lead Hand – (Days)
About The Position
Riverdale is looking for a hands-on 310T Lead Hand / Shop Foreman to strengthen our London shop team. This is a high-impact leadership role for a technician who can run complex diagnostics, set the standard for repair quality, and help manage the “shop heartbeat” (workflow, paperwork, and parts readiness) for a standardized Freightliner Cascadia fleet. This role is for a self-directed professional who thrives in a “Get it Done Right” culture. You will balance a hands-on workload with technical leadership, ensuring every Cascadia unit returns to service safely and reliably to ensure our mission of animal welfare and food security is never compromised by downtime.
Requirements
- Valid 310T Truck & Coach Technician License (Ontario)
- Your own tools in good working order
- Valid G Class drivers license
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Computer skills to close out work orders
- Deep technical knowledge of Freightliner Cascadia platforms, specifically advanced electrical troubleshooting and aftertreatment systems.
- Proven Leadership Experience: 3+ years in a Lead Hand or Foreman role
Responsibilities
- Act as the shop’s technical reference - lead complex Cascadia diagnostics and repairs, complete hands-on PM/inspections/priority breakdown work, use DTNA DiagnosticLink to confirm root cause and verify fixes, and coach the team through difficult jobs as the escalation point.
- Lead daily shop flow by triaging incoming work, prioritizing repairs/PMs, assigning tasks, and keeping work-in-progress moving by removing blockers (parts, information, repair approach, approvals).
- Serve as the shop’s quality gate - inspect safety-critical work, enforce verification standards, and maintain a low comeback/rework rate while ensuring a safe, organized shop environment.
- Ensure every work order - yours and the team’s - meets Riverdale’s documentation standard before closing: 3 Cs (Complaint, Cause, Correction), labor time, parts used, and final verification.
Benefits

- Eligible for RRSP matching after one year
- 15 paid vacation days per year
- Holiday lunches
