This is a stable, year-round position for a mechanic who enjoys a variety of work and takes pride in keeping equipment operating safely and efficiently.

  • Perform inspections and identify potential equipment failures before breakdowns occur
  • Conduct welding, fabrication, and equipment modifications as needed
  • Respond to equipment downtime and emergency repairs when necessary
  • Ensure compliance with company safety standards and OSHA regulations

Equipment You'll Work On

  • Class 8 semi-trucks
  • Dump trailers and walking-floor trailers
  • Front-end loaders
  • Tub grinders
  • Conveyor systems
  • Industrial manufacturing equipment
  • Hydraulic systems
  • Diesel engines and drivetrains

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of diesel mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic, fleet mechanic, or industrial maintenance experience preferred
  • Strong knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and troubleshooting
  • Experience with heavy equipment repair and preventative maintenance
  • Welding and fabrication experience preferred
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • CDL is a plus but not required
  • Own tools necessary

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Stable year-round employment
  • Family-oriented work environment
  • Modern equipment and facilities
  • Paid holidays and vacation
  • Health insurance and retirement benefits (if applicable)
  • Opportunities for advancement

Why Join Us?

At our company, you're not just another employee. As a family-owned business, we value hard work, integrity, and teamwork. You'll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on our operation while working with a wide variety of equipment in a supportive environment.

Apply today to join a company where your skills are appreciated and your work matters.
