Career Opportunity: Journeyman Automotive Technicians Wanted at Redwater Dodge (With Signing Bonuses & Zero Weekends!)

Compensation, Relocation Packages, & Signing Bonuses

We know that top-tier talent deserves top-tier rewards. As a high-volume Chrysler store, we "overallow" on our payroll, meaning we pay our technicians more money than your typical build. If you are FCA certified, you can expect an exceptional wage package. Furthermore, if you are looking to pad your pay cheque, overtime hours are readily available.

Are you currently living outside of the Edmonton area?

If you live more than an hour away from the city, we are offering substantial relocation incentives to assist you in making the move to our fantastic community. To top it all off, we are offering a signing bonus for the right candidate.

Who We Are Looking For:

• Certified Journeyman Automotive Technicians (Alberta or Interprovincial Red Seal).
• Motivated 3rd and 4th-year apprentices.
• FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) training is a massive bonus, but it is not a strict requirement. If you have the drive and the skill, we want to talk to you.

Common Questions & Answers

Q1: I don’t have FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) certification. Am I out of the running?

A1: Not at all! While having Chrysler or FCA training is certainly a fantastic bonus, it is not a strict requirement. We are looking for skilled, motivated Journeymen and senior 3rd or 4th-year apprentices who know their way around a shop. If you have a solid work ethic and strong diagnostic skills, we can handle the rest.

Q2: What does the "no weekends" policy actually look like in practice?

A2: It means exactly what Matt said: our fixed operations department is 100% closed on Saturdays and Sundays. There are no rotating weekend shifts or skeleton crews. We believe our team deserves a genuine work-life balance, giving you two full days off every week to spend with family, head out camping, or just enjoy the beautiful Alberta summers.

Q3: How do the relocation incentives and signing bonuses work?

A3: If you are currently living more than an hour away from Edmonton or are looking to move to Alberta from out of province, we offer aggressive relocation assistance packages to help cover the moving labour and logistics of getting to Redwater. Signing bonuses are structured on an individual basis depending on your current qualifications, certifications, and experience. We discuss these details openly and transparently during the interview process.

Q4: What is the day-to-day workload like? Am I going to be fighting rusty old beaters?

A4: That is one of the biggest benefits of working at a high-volume store like Redwater Dodge. Because we maintain an inventory of over 120 vehicles and move 40 to 60 units a month, a massive portion of your day-to-day work will be on clean, factory-fresh inventory. You will also get to work on a ton of custom lift kits, specialty wheels, and heavy accessory upfits for our signature Rig Ready Rams.

Q5: What is the compensation structure, and is there opportunity for overtime?

A5: Because we are a high-volume Chrysler dealership, we "overallow" on our builds. This means we pay our technicians more money than your typical flat-rate or book-time shop structure. If you want to keep your head down and pad your paycheque, the work is absolutely there for you, overtime is readily available for technicians who want to take advantage of it.

Q6: What other benefits and workplace perks can I expect? 

A6: We pride ourselves on having a tight-knit, small-town atmosphere with big-city perks. Your employment package includes: 

• Full health and dental benefits. 
• Complimentary local golf memberships. 
• Regular team BBQs and active communication directly from our in-store GM. 
• Legendary staff Christmas parties (we skip the cheap shop pizza and take the entire crew out to the city for a proper night out).
