Field Service Technician

Founded in 1989, AFD Petroleum is a leading independent supplier of fuel, lubricants, and storage solutions across Alberta, B.C., Yukon, and Alaska. With over three decades of experience, we’re committed to delivering reliable service, innovative solutions, and lasting value, centered on our people, our customers, and our communities.
