The City of Toronto has 116 million square feet of office space, making it the largest office centre in Canada. With internal mechanical systems requiring constant mechanical and technical maintenance, there will always be a demand for people skilled in tending all aspects of building systems. Maintain and monitor the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, ventilation, roofing, and grounds keeping of school buildings, hotels, etc., as well as office buildings.
