Have you explored dealership roles... and are you ready for something different?

At Communauto, we manage North America's largest car-sharing service. Behind each available vehicle, there is a fleet to maintain in pristine condition and technical issues that are beyond the ordinary.

We are looking for a journeyman mechanic for our Monk garage: someone with several years of experience, eager to apply their expertise to diagnose and repair the most complex problems, without the responsibility of sales or customer relations.

Your daily role

  • You are the technical reference of the workshop. Specifically, you will:
  • Perform advanced diagnostics (mechanical, electrical, electronic)
  • Carry out complex repairs: engines, transmissions, suspensions, steering, brakes, ABS systems
  • Work on embedded electronic systems (OBD2, CAN bus, ADAS)
  • Repair air conditioning systems
  • Maintain and repair vehicles and vans in the fleet
  • Ensure interventions meet technical and safety standards
  • Identify recurring technical issues and suggest improvement ideas
  • Act as a technical resource when needed for cases submitted by the team
  • You report to the Workshop Manager at Monk Garage.

What we are looking for:

  • 8 to 10 years of significant automotive mechanic experience, including handling complex cases
  • DEP in automotive mechanics or equivalent recognized training
  • Competency card (qualification certificate) from the CPA region, when applicable
  • Valid driver's license (Class 5)
  • Valid halocarbon (air conditioning) certification
  • Knowledge of electric and hybrid vehicles (asset)
  • Rigor, judgment, and composure under pressure
  • Pride in well-executed work
  • Team spirit and clear, professional communication
  • Bilingual in French and English

What we offer:

  • Salary based on experience
  • 4-day workweek (36 hours) – stable schedule
  • Equipment, PPE, and toolbox provided; option to use your own toolbox if preferred
  • Work environment free of sales pressure
  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, optical, travel insurance
  • Collective retirement plan with employer contributions
  • Personal leave hours bank
  • Discount on Communauto services and public transportation subscriptions
  • Employee and family assistance program
  • Telemedicine access

Why choose Communauto? Tired of dealerships, sales pressure, and complicated customer relationships? Here, you focus on what you do best: diagnostics and repairs, without handling service sales or negotiations with customers. You occupy the most senior technical role within the mechanical team, without managerial responsibilities. Your expertise is recognized and applied to the most complex cases in the workshop. Occasional support to other team members remains possible if you're interested, but it is not a requirement: here, you choose your level of involvement. Join a stable, structured environment with a 4-day workweek that leaves you time for other pursuits.

This position does not include support for work permits or immigration.

Air conditioning and heating system diagnostic and repair
