Heavy Duty Equipment Technician – Field Mechanic

Greater Vancouver, BC | $50–$55/hr | Full-Time | Monday–Friday

We’re looking for a Red Seal Heavy Duty Equipment Technician to join a tight equipment rental operation running a solid fleet of earthmoving equipment throughout the Lower Mainland.

The work is primarily field service, with some shop time as needed. You’ll be working out of a Ram 5500 service truck equipped with a crane and welder, heading out to customer sites to diagnose and repair equipment and get machines back earning their keep.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Excavators, wheel loaders, dozers and other heavy earthmoving equipment
• A fleet made up heavily of CAT, along with Hitachi and other makes
• Diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems and controls
• Preventative maintenance, breakdowns and field repairs
• Diagnostics and troubleshooting — finding the problem instead of throwing parts at it
• Hydraulic repairs/modifications, welding and minor fabrication
• Equipment inspections, setup and general rental fleet maintenance

Most work is local throughout Greater Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, so you’re home every night.

What We’re Looking For

• Red Seal Heavy Duty Equipment Technician
• Strong experience working on heavy construction/earthmoving equipment
• Solid mechanical, hydraulic and electrical troubleshooting skills
• Comfortable working independently in the field
• Valid driver’s licence
• Dealer, rental, construction fleet or similar heavy equipment experience
• Diagnostic software experience is an asset, but strong hands-on troubleshooting experience matters most
• Welding/fabrication experience is a plus

The Job

• $50–$55/hr, depending on experience — flexible for the right tech
• Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
• 40 hours/week with overtime here and there
• Company service truck with crane and welder
• Primarily local field work — no long-haul travel
• Home every night
• Health, dental, vision and life insurance
• RRSP matching
• Paid vacation and time off
• Stable, long-term position with a good group of people

If you’re a Red Seal tech who knows your way around excavators, loaders, dozers and hydraulics, and you’re looking to get out of the dealer/shop grind and into a field role with good equipment and local work, send us your resume.
