Looking for a solid heavy equipment mechanic who knows their way around dozers, excavators, articulated trucks, pans and other dirt-moving iron.

This is a hands-on field role with a company service truck that goes home with you. You’ll spend roughly 80% of your time in the field and 20% in the shop, keeping a large fleet of earthmoving equipment up and running. Most weeks are around 50 hours, Monday–Friday, typically 7:00 AM–5:00 PM.

What You Bring

3–5+ years of heavy equipment mechanic experience
Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
Experience working on construction/earthmoving equipment
Able to work independently in the field and get the job done
Your own basic hand tools — specialty tools and anything 3/4" and larger are provided
CDL is not required

What’s In It For You

$30–$38/hr DOE — flexible for the right mechanic
Company service truck you can take home
Company smartphone
Laptop and diagnostic software
Specialty tools provided
Tool replacement if company-supported tools wear out or break
Day shift — Monday through Friday
Around 50 hours/week
Very flexible with time off

401(k) with match
Vacation time negotiable

You’ll be joining an established maintenance team supporting 130+ pieces of earthmoving equipment and 300+ total fleet vehicles and equipment.

If you’re the mechanic who can jump in a service truck, track down the problem and get the iron back working, let’s talk.
