What a pool and spa service technician earns depends on skill, certification, and where they work. Because the skilled core spans water chemistry, equipment, heaters, and automation, the band is wide, and CPO certification plus commercial experience lift the top end. The table below shows the official Job Bank wage band by province for 2026.
These are hourly low-to-high bands from Job Bank Canada, classified under NOC 73200 (Residential and commercial installers and servicers), updated November 19, 2025. The national median is $26.00 per hour.
| Province | Hourly low to high |
|---|---|
| British Columbia | $20.00 to $43.53 |
| Alberta | $18.00 to $44.00 |
| Saskatchewan | $18.00 to $31.50 |
| Manitoba | $17.00 to $32.00 |
| Ontario | $18.00 to $40.00 |
| Quebec | $20.00 to $40.00 |
| New Brunswick | $20.00 to $32.00 |
| Nova Scotia | $16.88 to $36.00 |
| Prince Edward Island | $19.00 to $32.21 |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | $18.00 to $30.00 |
The territories are not shown because Job Bank does not publish a wage band for this occupation in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or Yukon.
What drives the spread
- The broad, mixed nature of NOC 73200, which puts entry-tier and skilled roles in one group
- CPO certification and equipment, heater, and automation skill, which lift the top end
- Commercial, institutional, and resort work, which runs year round
- Cost of living and pool density, which lift pay in British Columbia and Alberta
Reading the ranges
These bands cover NOC 73200, a broad group, so the low end reflects entry-tier and seasonal work and the high end reflects skilled service technicians. A certified technician with equipment, automation, and repair skill sits toward the top, especially on commercial and institutional facilities.
