Truck and Coach Technician (NOC 72410) – PEPCO CORP.

Job Description

Employer Name: PEPCO CORP.

Company description: Founded in 1986, Pepco is a bilingual second-generation family owned and operated business. We currently distribute fuels, lubricants, industrial supplies, and Bearing/Power Transmission (BPT) components to residential and commercial / industrial customers in Northern Ontario and the Greater Montreal Area. Given the breadth of our offer, our strategy is to open new customers with a select few door opener items and then to grow our share of wallet in each customer. We will continue to distribute fuels as long as there is a market but recognizing that the market will eventually dry up, we are focusing our growth initiatives on the lubricants, industrial supplies and BPT markets.
