Field Mechanic - Grand Junction

About the role

This is not a shop role. You will be the frontline mechanic, responsible for keeping mission-critical equipment running across active job sites. We are looking for someone who can diagnose fast, think independently, and solve problems others can’t—often in remote, high-pressure conditions. We’re looking for traveling field mechanics who live in one of the regions where most of our work is done. You’ll travel from your home to wherever the machines break down, and you may be at multiple locations, one after the next. You may be out for as much as two weeks at a time. One week per month, you’ll be “on call”, but you will get regular rotations and most weekends at home. You’ll have a corporate credit card to cover travel costs, including fuel, lodging, food and any tools or supplies you need for work.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues in the field
• Perform preventative maintenance to reduce downtime
• Execute rapid-response repairs to keep crews operational
• Identify root causes, not just symptoms
• Track and document work, parts, and equipment status
• Train operators on basic maintenance and early issue detection
• Travel extensively and work in physically demanding environments

Requirements

• Experience as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic
• Strong troubleshooting across mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems
• Ability to work independently with high ownership
• Willingness to travel up to 100%

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years in heavy construction equipment (field-based)
• Advanced hydraulics/electrical diagnostics
• CDL and/or relevant certifications

Pay

$33–$43/hour + overtime. This is a salaried, non-exempt role so you'll always get your base pay plus an overtime wage when you work more than 40 hours in a week.

Schedule

Monday–Friday with most weekends at home. One week per month on call.

Benefits

• Fully covered road expenses on a corporate credit card
• Crane truck and tools provided
• Medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with match
• PTO + holidays
• Ongoing training and advancement opportunities

Who Succeeds Here

Top performers in this role:

• Own equipment uptime like it’s their business
• Solve complex failures under pressure
• Anticipate problems before they happen
• Improve performance across the fleet—not just fix individual machines
