Parts Person / Parts Technician

MacKay Contracting • Cranbrook, BC

3d • CA$28 - CA$35 • Onsite

About The Position

As a Parts Person, you’ll play a critical role behind the scenes that directly impacts the field. When an excavator is down, a haul truck needs components overnight, or a mechanic is chasing a breakdown, you help keep the operation moving. This isn’t a role where you sit behind a counter waiting for the phone to ring. You’ll work closely with our maintenance, logistics, and field teams to solve problems, source hard-to-find parts, manage inventory, and support crews working in demanding environments. If you enjoy fast-paced environments, heavy equipment, and being the person people count on when things get critical — you’ll fit right in here.

Requirements

• Experience in heavy duty or automotive parts
• Comfortable using computers, inventory systems, and supplier platforms
• Valid Class 5 Driver’s Licence with a clean driver’s abstract
• Ability to lift and move heavy materials when required

Nice To Haves

• Experience working around construction, mining, trucking, or heavy equipment operations is considered an asset
• Mechanical or maintenance knowledge is considered an asset
• Forklift or skid steer experience is considered an asset
• Journeyman Parts Technician certification is considered an asset, but practical experience and attitude matter just as much.

Responsibilities

• Help keep a large fleet of heavy civil and mining equipment operating safely and efficiently across multiple projects
• Solve real-world operational problems by sourcing parts quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively
• Support field crews and mechanics who rely on you to minimize downtime and keep production moving
• Manage inventory for everything from haul trucks and excavators to pickups, service trucks, and support equipment
• Work directly with suppliers, vendors, technicians, operators, and project teams to coordinate urgent and planned parts needs
• Maintain an organized, efficient parts room where crews can get what they need without wasting time
• Deliver parts to project sites when required and help crews stay productive in the field
• Handle warranty claims, exchanges, shipping, receiving, and inventory tracking with attention to detail
• Support a team that believes preparation beats panic and that organized systems make everybody’s job easier
