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?

At Signet Monitoring & Analysis, a division of Spartan Controls, we help the energy sector reduce emissions and meet regulatory compliance by providing turnkey emissions testing and program management. Based in Red Deer, AB, and serving all of Western Canada.

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.
