This is a full-time, permanent, unionized role with a strong compensation package and clear wage progression — ideal for a licensed mechanic ready to bring their skills to a major fleet operation.

Working an evening shift from 7:00 PM to 3:30 AM, Monday to Friday, you’ll be part of a skilled maintenance team responsible for keeping UPS’s delivery fleet running safely and efficiently. This role combines hands-on vehicle diagnostics, repair, and preventive maintenance across diesel, gasoline, and propane-powered vehicles.

About the Role: Heavy Duty Mechanic

As an Auto Technician at UPS Lachine, your primary focus will be the inspection, repair, and maintenance of the UPS vehicle fleet. You’ll conduct diagnostic tests to identify mechanical issues and perform timely repairs to minimize downtime. The work is done mainly indoors in a shop environment, with occasional outdoor exposure.

This is a unionized position governed by a Collective Agreement, which means your wage progression and entitlements are clearly defined. You’ll be expected to follow safety protocols, wear the UPS Auto Mechanic uniform, and adhere to the company’s Appearance Guidelines at all times. Occasional vehicle testing on public roads is also part of the role, so a clean driving record is essential.

This position starts at $36.00 per hour, with automatic progression to a top rate of $43.49/hour after completing 12 months of service post-seniority. Pay is issued weekly every Friday. Additional compensation includes a tool allowance and safety boots allowance per year. Paid vacation scales from 2 weeks after 1 year up to 6 weeks after 25 years of service. The benefits package includes Group Dental and Extended Medical coverage, a Pension Plan, personal and sick days, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), an Education Assistance Program, and immediate access to the UPS Employee Discount Program upon hire.

Responsibilities

Day to day, this role is all about keeping a large commercial fleet in top working condition. From routine preventive maintenance to complex diagnostics, your work directly supports on-time deliveries across the region. Here’s what you’ll be doing on the floor:
