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.
What You’ll Do
- 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
What We’re Looking For
- Baseline:
- Experience as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic
- Strong troubleshooting across mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems
- Able to work independently with high ownership
- Willingness to travel up to 100%
- Preferred (Higher Ceiling):
- 5+ years in heavy construction equipment (field-based)
- Advanced hydraulics/electrical diagnostics
- CDL and/or relevant certifications
Compensation & Benefits
- 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
- $33–$42/hour + overtime
- Fully covered road expenses (meals, gas, hotels if needed) via corporate credit card
- Crane truck with full set of provided tools
- 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
