Automotive Mechanic – UPS – Lachine, QC

UPS is looking for a skilled Automotive Mechanic to join their team in Lachine, Québec. This is a full-time permanent position working the evening shift (7:00 PM – 3:30 AM, Monday to Friday) at their facility located at 1221 32nd Avenue. If you’re a licensed mechanic who thrives in a structured, unionized environment and wants long-term stability with a global logistics leader, this role is worth a close look.

Day to day, you’ll be working on a wide variety of equipment — from delivery vehicles and on-road tractors to trailers and heavy-duty machinery. The work involves diagnosing and repairing complex systems including hydraulic brakes, air brakes, electronics, and engines, so a broad mechanical background is essential.

About the Role: Automotive Mechanic

As an Automotive Mechanic at UPS Lachine, your primary responsibility is keeping the fleet running safely and efficiently. You’ll maintain a diverse range of equipment from multiple manufacturers, using diagnostic tools and software to pinpoint mechanical issues and carry out repairs in a timely fashion. Preventive Maintenance Inspections (PMI) are a core part of the role, ensuring vehicles meet safety and operational standards before hitting the road.

This is a team-oriented shop environment, so clear communication and a clean, organised workspace are expectations alongside technical skill. You’ll need to be comfortable occasionally working outdoors and in varying temperatures, and you’ll be required to wear a UPS Auto Mechanic uniform in accordance with company appearance guidelines.

Benefits and Salary

This unionized role starts at $42.29 per hour, with automatic progression to a top rate of $43.49 per hour after 12 months of post-seniority service — all governed by the existing Collective Agreement. Pay is issued weekly every Friday. Additional compensation includes a tool allowance and safety boots allowance allocated annually. Paid vacation scales generously with tenure: 2 weeks after 1 year, 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 10 years, 5 weeks after 20 years, and 6 weeks after 25 years. Employees also receive Group Benefits (Dental and Extended Medical), a Pension Plan, personal and sick days as per federal regulations, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), an Education Assistance Program, and immediate access to the UPS Employee Discount Program upon hire.

Responsibilities

Working out of UPS’s Lachine facility, the Automotive Mechanic plays a critical role in keeping a large, diverse fleet of vehicles operational and road-ready. The position demands both hands-on repair skills and the discipline to document work, maintain a tidy shop, and flag issues proactively. Here’s what the role involves on a day-to-day basis:

• Repair and maintain all UPS package cars and equipment across a variety of makes and models
• Troubleshoot and repair complex systems including hydraulic brakes, air brakes, electronics, and engines
• Perform routine PMI (Preventive Maintenance Inspections) to ensure vehicles meet safety standards
• Use diagnostic tools and software to accurately identify mechanical problems before undertaking repairs
• Maintain a clean and organised workspace in line with shop standards
• Communicate effectively within a team environment to coordinate repairs and flag ongoing issues
• Complete other tasks as requested by management

Requirements / Skills

UPS is looking for a mechanically well-rounded candidate who holds the proper licensing and can work independently on a night shift. The ideal applicant brings strong troubleshooting skills, a commitment to workplace safety, and the physical capability and flexibility the role demands. Here’s what you’ll need to be considered:

• Valid PEP card — heavy duty or light duty mechanic licence required
• French language proficiency required; English is considered an asset
• Clean driver’s abstract (issued no more than one month before interview date), with no violations in the past 12 months, no more than 2 violations in the previous 36 months, no accidents, and a maximum of 5 demerit points in the previous 36 months
