Toronto/London, Ont., April 19, 2022 – Classic Fire + Life Safety has hired and welcomed more than 60 new team members across its 10 locations to help it meet the growing life safety and fire protection and maintenance needs of its customers – a milestone the company originally expected to hit by late summer.
“The strength and vitality of Canada’s fire and life safety industry is one of our country’s best-kept secrets,” says Melissa Diaz, Vice President, Human Resources at Classic Fire + Life Safety. “We’re definitely experiencing a growth spurt both in the industry and as a company but, the truth is, when it comes to employment opportunities in this industry, there is really no off-season.”
Since announcing its recruitment campaign in February, the company has hired eight fire alarm technicians, 21 sprinkler fitters, 13 customer care representatives, three sales staff, and nine other office staff in various departments. Positions were filled across the company’s offices in Ajax, Burlington, Cambridge, London, Ottawa, Toronto and Windsor, Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Classic Fire + Life Safety expects to fill another 24 additional positions before July. The company’s team attitude is something that Diaz believes many staff are longing for.
“I joined the company earlier this year and have met so many team members who have remained motivated and engaged in their jobs throughout their careers,” says Diaz. It’s very nice to see this kind of healthy, team-based culture in this day and age, especially when so much in the world around us is in constant flux .”
In addition to competitive salaries and rates, Classic Fire + Life Safety offers numerous benefits including extended health and dental care, RRSP matching, insurance discounted rates, assistance programs, paid time off and innovative opportunities for career growth and development.
