Careers in the Canadian Equipment Industry
Careers in the Canadian Equipment Industry
Many of Canada's major business fields - construction, forestry, mining, and oil and gas - depend on the equipment industry to supply and service the essential tools of the trade. 
More than 1,000 equipment companies, large and small, provide jobs to about 15,000 people. The industry contributed approximately $4.6 billion to the Canadian economy in 1993, and business is growing.
The evolving global economy has led equipment customers to make new and more intense demands on suppliers. Equipment is more likely to be leased and kept running longer; service needs to be done on site, efficiently, and without delay. Machines are more complex, so that industry workers must have more knowledge and be prepared for life-long learning.
As it always has, the industry is responding to these challenges with vigour and commitment. It remains key to the success of the Canadian resource sector, and the 21st century holds great promise.
