About Atlantic Chemex
Established in 1987 and headquartered at 280 Main Street, Truro, Nova Scotia, Atlantic Chemex Limited has been proudly serving the Atlantic provinces for nearly 40 years. As the largest Landa dealer in Atlantic Canada and an authorized distributor of EnergyLogic, Autec, WaterMaze, and more, we are a factory-trained, full-service dealership committed to delivering the best industrial equipment solutions in the region. When you join Atlantic Chemex, you're joining a stable, experienced team with a long-standing reputation for quality and expertise.
About the Role
We're looking for a motivated, hands-on Service Technician to join our growing team.

A significant part of this position involves travel to customer sites throughout the Maritimes, including overnight stays. To reflect that commitment, we pay an additional $6.00/hour on top of your base rate whenever you're on the road overnight — meaning you can earn up to $27.00/hour during travel periods.
