PDI and Rigging Technician

Looking for a hands-on role where you can build your mechanical skills, learn new products, and grow your career? Join a team that helps keep boats on the water, sleds in the snow, and riders on the trails.

Located just 20 minutes north of Edmonton, Gibbons Motor Toys is a market leader in heavy gauge aluminum boats and powersports products. We retail and service Can-Am, Ski-Doo, KingFisher, Stabicraft, Mercury, and more. With over 40 years of experience, our sales, parts, and service teams provide some of the best product knowledge in the industry.
