What You’ll Do

• Diagnose and repair diesel engines, electrical and electronic control systems (ECM), diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, brakes, steering, and suspension.
• Perform preventive maintenance, safety inspections, and scheduled repairs to reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
• Complete shop and field repairs across multiple locations, including road calls and emergency service as needed.
• Inspect, assemble, replace, and route hydraulic hoses and fittings; test equipment to confirm repairs.
• Perform welding, cutting, and light fabrication to repair or modify components.
• Use service manuals, wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical bulletins to troubleshoot problems and complete repairs.
• Maintain accurate work orders, inspection reports, maintenance records, and parts usage.
• Coordinate with operators, managers, vendors, and parts suppliers on equipment condition, repair progress, and service needs.
• Follow company safety policies, environmental requirements, and lockout/tagout procedures while keeping your work area clean and organized.
• Provide equipment operators with guidance on proper use and care as needed.

What You’ll Bring

• At least 3 years of diesel or heavy equipment mechanic experience, or an equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience.
• Strong diagnostic and repair skills with electrical, ECM, and DEF systems.
• Experience troubleshooting hydraulic systems and assembling hoses and fittings.

• Ability to read and interpret service manuals, wiring diagrams, and schematics.
• Confidence performing field repairs on large equipment and trucks.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to safety, and the ability to prioritize repairs that affect operations.
• Professional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with operators, managers, and vendors.
• A valid Class A CDL, required to operate the service truck.
• Your own tools suitable for diesel and heavy equipment repair.

Experience in construction, mining, recycling, industrial production, or a similar environment is preferred.
