Sawmill Diesel Apprentice Technician

$25 per hour

NW Industrial Staffing

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a day on our shop floor

At NW Industrial Staffing, we’re seeking a Diesel Mechanic Apprentice with their own tools to support a family-owned sawmill. You’ll learn shoulder-to-shoulder with a Senior Mechanic and be groomed to take the reins when he retires.

Your day starts at 7:00 a.m. in Cottage Grove, OR. You’ll roll up your sleeves alongside your mentor, tackling inspections and hands-on work across forklifts, log loaders, shovels, and other diesel-driven equipment. One moment you’re performing oil changes and swapping filters; the next, you’re tracing a wiring fault, reading a schematic, or hunting down a leak with diagnostic tools.

What you’ll do
  • Assist with inspections, repairs, and overhauls on diesel equipment (forklifts, log loaders, shovels, etc.).
  • Handle routine maintenance: oil changes, filter replacements, and lubrication.
  • Check for wear, leaks, and damage; clean and prep parts for repair or replacement.
  • Use diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues; help troubleshoot engines, transmissions, and brake systems.
  • Learn to read and interpret service manuals and schematics.
  • Support electrical repairs (batteries, wiring, starters, etc.).
  • Replace worn components including belts, hoses, and fuel system parts.
In the shop
  • Keep tools, equipment, and work areas organized and clean.
  • Follow all safety procedures and wear required PPE.
  • Document work performed and help maintain accurate records.
  • Assist with inventory of parts, fluids, and supplies.
Role details
  • Location: Cottage Grove, OR
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
  • Compensation: $25.00/hr ++

* Pre-placement background check and drug screen NOT including THC

What you already bring
  • Diesel Engine Systems
  • Preventive Maintenance & Inspection
  • Oil Changes
  • Fuel Systems
  • Lift Truck Repair & Maintenance
  • Diesel & Heavy Equipment Systems
  • Electrical Systems & Diagnostics (Heavy Equipment)
  • Equipment Diagnostics & Troubleshooting

Bring your own tools, your curiosity, and your work ethic—learn from a seasoned pro and grow into the lead role.
