Emissions Technician/Analyst

Summary

Are you a Compression or Heavy Duty Mechanic with deep engine experience and strong troubleshooting skills, but looking for something different? Maybe you're done with the daily physical wear-and-tear of turning wrenches, and ready to take that experience in a new direction?

We’re hiring Emissions Technicians/Analysts to join our growing team, based in Grande Prairie or Fort St. John. You’ll work hands-on in the field at customer sites, using high end CEMS-grade testing equipment and cutting-edge tools not to tear down engines, but to understand how they run, how cleanly they burn, and how to make them perform better for the environment and the bottom line. This role focuses delivering detailed testing reports, minimizing environmental impact, and ensuring regulatory compliance. This position will report to the Emissions Manager, in Red Deer.

• Gather all required field data to support emissions testing
• Verify that testing data ensures a successful regulatory test before completion
• Identify the root cause of issues if the unit fails the test and collaborate with the equipment owner to tune the unit for a successful test. If successful testing is not possible, abort testing to minimize the end-user's expense
• Maintain testing equipment and calibration gases to ensure testing quality
• Produce horsepower curves, OEM HP, and BSFC documents (e.g., GERP, WKI, Ariel)
• Compile and complete emissions testing reports with the required level of detail and content
• Review and quality-check co-worker reports and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives for enhanced quality and efficiency
• Perform on-site testing services in adherence to recognized industry safety standards
• Follow health and safety policies and other requirements related to the care and operation of equipment
