K'(Prime) Technologies Inc., or K'(Prime), is a global imaging services company based in Calgary, Alberta, and is wholly owned by Nanalysis Scientific Corp. (TSXV: NSCI, OTCQX: NSCIF, FRA: 1N1). K'(Prime)'s business includes chemistry, commercial security, next-generation AI-powered security equipment sales, and airport imaging, such as X-ray and millimeter wave imaging. K'(Prime) offers airport imaging equipment maintenance across all Canadian provinces and territories. We are seeking motivated, problem-solving individuals to join our team of over 130 skilled imaging services technicians, who play a vital role in Canada's aviation security.

The District Manager, Imaging Operations, is the key leader responsible for overseeing and managing imaging activities within your assigned District.
