There is also a posting for eight Journeyperson 1 – Truck and Transport Technicians who will ensure vehicles are maintained and safe.

Additional staff will help Calgary Transit improve customer service levels throughout the city and reduce the strain on current employees to help with retirements, career movement and development, vacation, and sick time.

Calgary Transit has been putting on a lot of fun events over the past few months to get people back into transit after the industry was hit hard during the pandemic.
