About the Role
We are a locally owned and operated McDonald’s franchise with restaurants in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Port Hawkesbury, and Antigonish, Nova Scotia, looking for a skilled, dependable Maintenance Technician to join our team. This is a hands-on role responsible for keeping our restaurants running smoothly through electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and electronics maintenance and repair.
This is a rare opportunity for someone who enjoys variety in their work and takes pride in solving problems independently — and who isn’t afraid to travel between locations across Cape Breton and mainland Nova Scotia.

What You’ll Do
• Perform electrical repairs and routine maintenance on restaurant systems and equipment
• Maintain and repair commercial kitchen equipment (fryers, grills, refrigeration, HVAC, etc.)
• Handle minor plumbing repairs and upkeep
• Troubleshoot and repair electronics including POS systems and related technology
• Conduct preventive maintenance to minimize downtime
• Travel between our Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Port Hawkesbury, and Antigonish locations as needed
• Coordinate with outside vendors and service contractors when needed
• Respond to maintenance issues promptly to keep operations running


What We’re Looking For
• Electrical background or journeyman/trade certification preferred
• Experience with commercial kitchen or restaurant equipment a plus
• Basic plumbing knowledge
• Comfortable with electronics and general technology troubleshooting
• Self-motivated, reliable, and able to work independently
• Ability and willingness to travel between our three locations
• Strong problem-solving skills and a “get it done” attitude
• Valid driver’s license required


What We Offer
• Competitive annual salary based on experience
• Quarterly performance bonus
• Health care benefits
• Company vehicle provided
• Uniform supplied
• Stable, long-term employment with an established local franchise
• Consistent schedule
• Supportive team environment


Why This Role Is Special
Our outgoing technician has been with us for over 31 years and is a wealth of knowledge across all aspects of our restaurant operations. The successful candidate will have the unique advantage of working alongside him through to his retirement in early fall, allowing you to learn our equipment, facilities, and systems firsthand. This hands-on knowledge transfer is something most jobs simply can’t offer, and we believe it sets the right candidate up for immediate confidence and long-term success in the role. We are looking for someone who values long-term commitment and wants to build a lasting career with a well-established local business.
