The role - your passion
Your responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
As our Parts & Service Specialist you’ll own the sourcing, ordering, and inventory work that keeps our RV techs across North America moving. You'll identify the right parts, find the best suppliers, and keep our repair operations running smoothly — and you'll spend time in the shop too, taking a fully hands on approach with the same vehicles you're supplying parts for. Successful candidates must have experience in both areas. This position requires fully hands on approach and ability to hit the ground running.
This dual hybrid role will work out of our Calgary station for technician work and can work from home on certain days to focus on being our Parts Specialist.

There may be days where you are working from the station and need to provide parts ordering support or working from home and are needed to go into the station for an urgent repair. A successful candidate is flexible and accommodating to the business needs.
What you'll do:
Parts & Supply Chain
Oversee our computerized parts catalog system and maintain a running inventory of regular and special-order parts and supplies
Own end-to-end parts sourcing for our multi-brand RV fleet across North America
Identify the right parts from inspections, photos, and damage descriptions submitted by techs — reading exploded diagrams and OEM schematics
