At the Apple Store Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Apple Retail brings together some of the most knowledgeable and passionate people in the tech industry. The Technical Expert role is a hands-on position where your ability to troubleshoot, repair, and connect with customers makes a real difference every single day.

Beyond individual repairs, you play a key role in the broader team.
