OKSIR is Hiring!
Facility Maintenance Supervisor

Full-time Permanent Position, Osoyoos, BC
Resumes Due Monday, July 20, 2015

Position starts August 2015

About Us:
We are an environmentally-friendly codling moth control program in the beautiful fruit growing region of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, in British Columbia. Since the Program started more than 20 years ago, the amount of pesticides used in the valley against codling moth has dropped by 96%. Our Program breeds and sterilizes codling moths at our state-of-the-art facility in Osoyoos, and we release them into orchards where they mate with wild moths to prevent the population from reproducing. Our Program also provides trapping and monitoring, education, and enforcement services for the growers.

About Osoyoos, British Columbia:
This position is based out of beautiful Osoyoos, British Columbia. Situated just north of the border, sunny Osoyoos bills itself as “Canada’s warmest welcome.” As Canada’s only pocket of desert, the town offers the best climate in the country, and significant lifestyle benefits: award-winning wineries, beautiful beaches, fruit fresh from the trees all summer long, easy access to hiking, watersports, mountain biking, rock climbing, and great winter skiing. http://www.destinationosoyoos.com/ and http://www.osoyoos.ca/.

About You:
You are a 5th class power engineer with boiler endorsement (or 4th class). You have an eye for detail and you like to keep machines in perfect working order. You would like a position that offers a chance to learn and grow with increasing responsibilities. You like working as part of a team that functions like a well-oiled machine, former co-workers would call you “a pleasure to work with,” but you are also able to get things done on your own. You are looking for a position that could grow into one with more responsibilities. Small town living appeals to you, and you love the summer heat and won’t miss the cold winters. And, of course, you don’t mind working with and around moths!
