Heavy Equipment Field Service Technician

Job Description Job Description $40-$45+/hr direct hire (can go higher for candidates with specialty industrial equipment experience) — plus a company truck, per diem when travel is required, full benefits including PTO and 401k + match, and 1.5x overtime pay. Long service days often mean you're working a 4-day week instead of 5 (Fridays off). You'd be joining a well-established, stable equipment manufacturer's field service team based in the Springfield, MA area, covering customer sites across New England. This is mobile equipment work, not stationary plant equipment: wheeled, truck-mounted, and track-mounted (crawler) heavy machinery, comparable in scale and complexity to Caterpillar equipment, used in demanding industrial and infrastructure environments. Day to day: * Travel to customer sites to diagnose and repair hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical systems on wheeled, truck-mounted, and track-mounted heavy equipment * Perform service calls, routine maintenance, and software/firmware updates on-site * Troubleshoot equipment issues under time pressure, often with the customer's operation waiting on the fix * Work flexible hours based on customer need. * Maintain service records and communicate repair status back to the team * Travel regionally throughout New England as assignments require, with per diem covered What gets you hired: * 3+ years of hands-on experience as a heavy equipment mechanic, diesel mechanic, or field mechanic on wheeled, truck-mounted, or crawler equipment * Strong electrical and hydraulic troubleshooting aptitude * Experience with pneumatic systems * Comfortable working independently in the field, sometimes in tough weather and long hours * A valid driver's license and clean-enough motor vehicle record for field travel * Able to pass a background check and pre-employment physical/fit-for-duty screening * Specialty industrial equipment experience is a big plus — if that's you, pay can go above the posted range Keywords: heavy equipment field service technician, field mechanic, diesel mechanic, hydraulic technician, crawler mechanic, track-mounted equipment, wheeled equipment, construction equipment technician, New England, Massachusetts, Springfield, direct hire Company Description RPC Staffing was founded in 2002 as a firm that combines a hands-on approach with industry expertise and national reach.
