🌍 The Role
We’re transforming how people move across the Edmonton Capital Region.

- Keep critical transit devices up and running across the network
- Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on smart fare systems
- Diagnose and resolve real-time issues and incidents
- Monitor system performance and run device diagnostics
- Support software updates and system releases
- Track and manage device inventory and components
- Collaborate with transit agencies, internal teams, and vendors
- Deliver against high SLA expectations in a fast-paced environment
