About the Position
๐ Opportunity: Eight weeks in, eight weeks out is a rotation you don't see often, and this one comes with a $27-a-day isolation allowance on top of $55.96โ$58.91 an hour. Nasittuq, a majority Inuit-owned company, needs a Red Seal heavy vehicle mechanic to keep the fleet running at CFS Alert, a fly-in Arctic site in Nunavut.
๐ง The Role: You'll handle maintenance and repair of heavy vehicles and related equipment at CFS Alert on a 40-hour week. The posting doesn't break out a task list, so expect the usual mix of diesel service, diagnostics and keeping site equipment working in extreme cold. You'll need the 310S and 310T (diesel) qualifications and the ability to get a DND 404 Driver Permit.
๐ CanadaCampJobs Take: This is long-haul camp life: two full months on, then two full months of your own time. Private accommodations, meals, Wi-Fi, TV, laundry and rec facilities are on site, and the company flies you in from anywhere in Canada. The security clearance and passport paperwork take some lead time, so line those up early. If you like a big block of time off and can handle real isolation, the numbers are strong.
