Lead Mechanic – Keep the Fleet Running

Jeannette, PA | $38–$40/hr | 1st Shift

Looking for a mechanic who can turn the wrench and take ownership of the shop.

We’re looking for a Lead Mechanic to keep a fleet of backhoes, excavators, mowers, tractors, trucks and other equipment up and running. You’ll be hands-on with repairs while also helping run the day-to-day operation of the shop.

This is a good fit for a mechanic who knows how to diagnose problems, get repairs handled, and keep equipment moving — without needing someone looking over your shoulder.

What You’ll Do

Diagnose and repair fleet equipment — hydraulics, brakes, hoses, oil changes, electrical, and general mechanical repairs
Work on CAT backhoes, excavators, tractors, trucks, mowers and similar equipment
Handle preventive maintenance and keep service records organized
Order parts and manage inventory
Work with outside vendors on larger repairs, warranty work, and specialized service
Coordinate equipment transportation between locations and vendors
Provide input on repairs, equipment condition, and maintenance needs
Help organize and prioritize the shop’s workload
Respond to occasional emergency breakdowns when equipment goes down

The Job

You’ll spend most of your time in a 3-bay shop, but this isn’t a sit-behind-the-desk job. Expect to stay hands-on and turn wrenches.
About 30–40% travel is involved, including local and occasional overnight trips to other locations. Travel and hotels are paid, and you’ll have a Ford F-450 service truck that can go home with you.
The fleet is primarily lighter construction/grounds equipment — think CAT 415/416 backhoes, CAT 304/305 excavators, tractors, pickup trucks, and diesel/gas mowers.
Most importantly, the equipment has to work. When something breaks down, you’ll be one of the guys figuring out how to get it back in service.

Schedule & Pay

Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
$38–$40/hr
Paid travel and hotels
Service truck provided
Occasional emergency breakdown support

Benefits

Medical benefits
401(k) with company match
3 weeks PTO
Paid holidays

What We’re Looking For

Strong mechanical/diesel background
Comfortable diagnosing and repairing equipment in the field
Experience with hydraulics, brakes, electrical, preventative maintenance, etc.
Comfortable working on construction/ag/grounds equipment
Able to work independently and make decisions
Organized enough to handle parts, vendors, repairs and scheduling
Willing to travel periodically and respond to emergency breakdowns

If you’re the mechanic people call when something is broken and needs to get fixed — this is the kind of role where you can take ownership and make the shop your own.
