Professional mechanic experience is not required. If you have experience working on your own vehicles, equipment, motorcycles, machinery, or other mechanical projects, we want to hear from you.

• Bearings, seals and wear components
• Hydraulic hoses, pumps, motors and cylinders
• Mechanical component replacement
• Hydraulic troubleshooting
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Diagnosing equipment problems
• Independently completing equipment repairs

*You don't need to know how to do all of this today. That's what we're prepared to teach you.

What We're Looking For

• Mechanically inclined and comfortable using tools

• Ability to perform or learn basic maintenance and minor repairs
• Enjoys figuring out how mechanical things work
• Willing to learn new equipment and systems
• Takes pride in completing work correctly
• Interested in developing mechanical skills into a career

What You DON'T Need

• Diesel mechanic certification
• Concrete equipment experience
• Experience rebuilding diesel engines

Compensation & Growth

• Depending on existing mechanical experience and capability

Build a Career as an Equipment Mechanic

If you're the person who has always worked on your own vehicles or equipment, enjoys taking things apart and figuring out how they work, but haven't necessarily worked professionally as a mechanic, don't let that stop you from applying. We're willing to teach the equipment. Bring us the mechanical aptitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

Compensation: $25.00 - $35.00 per hour
