Field Service Technician – Heavy Equipment
Location: Scarborough, ME
About the role
Milton CAT offers experienced technicians the chance to work independently while receiving strong support from service managers, supervisors, parts, and the shop. The company provides industry‑leading training with six full‑time trainers, ongoing hands‑on and classroom development, and clear paths to advance and specialize. Technicians work with Caterpillar equipment—the gold standard in heavy equipment—on advanced machines across various job sites, backed by a top‑ranked CAT dealer. A tenured, privately held workforce since 1960 ensures steady, year‑round work and a culture where people stay long‑term.
