Facilities Technician – Tesla – Richmond Hill, ON

Tesla Toronto Automation in Richmond Hill, Ontario is looking for a skilled Facilities Technician to keep its operations running safely and reliably. This is a hands-on role that combines technical expertise with structured problem solving, making it a solid fit for someone with a strong background in building operations and maintenance.

Day to day, you’ll be troubleshooting electrical and HVAC systems, monitoring building automation software, coordinating vendors, and executing preventive maintenance — all while collaborating closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and EHS teams. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy ownership over facility performance, this role has a lot to offer.

About the Role: Facilities Technician

Reporting directly to the Facilities Manager, the Facilities Technician is responsible for the day-to-day upkeep and reliability of Tesla’s Richmond Hill facility. You’ll perform facility rounds, identify maintenance needs, write and execute Method of Procedure (MOP) documents, and respond to alarms from the BMS/building automation system. Minor repairs — from patching walls to replacing ceiling tiles and light fixtures — are also part of the scope, along with supporting equipment setup and office reconfigurations.

Safety and quality are central to how this role operates. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the EHS team when coordinating contractors and vendors, and you’ll be expected to respond to maintenance emergencies and operational requests from multiple internal teams. Experience in commercial, critical, or manufacturing environments is preferred and will help you hit the ground running.

Benefits and Salary

Tesla offers competitive hourly compensation based on experience level. The expected pay ranges are as follows: Engineering Technician III: $31.46–$47.19/hr, Engineering Technician IV: $36.08–$54.12/hr, and Engineering Technician V: $42.24–$63.36/hr — plus cash and stock awards for all levels. As a full-time Tesla employee, you’re eligible for an extensive benefits package from day one, including company-paid Health, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability insurance, an RRSP with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, an Employee Assistance Program, Parental Success Programs, sick and vacation time, paid holidays, the Tesla Babies program, and product and fitness perks.
