Heavy Equipment Mechanic

Job Description

Bemana is searching for a Heavy Equipment Mechanic in the Austin, TX area to join the team led by former former SpaceX engineers on a mission of automating civil construction through software, operational improvements, and robotics. This is a full-time, long term position with tons of room for growth.

In this role, you will be working on a fleet of commercial earthworks equipment such as dozers and excavators, keeping them running and ready. This is a hands-on, self-sufficient role: you'll handle everything from routine maintenance and fueling to real mechanical troubleshooting in the field and at the shop. As the equipment increasingly combines traditional mechanical systems with the sensors, controllers, and hardware that enable semi-autonomous operation, you'll be the person who keeps all of it functioning, on-site, on short notice.

Position Offers:

• High pay, depending on experience
• 100% employer-paid health insurance, dental, vision
• 3 weeks of PTO
• Equity potential

Responsibilities

• Diagnose, repair, and maintain commercial earthworks equipment such as CAT D6/D8 dozers, CAT 336 excavators, and similar heavy civil equipment, both in the shop and on active job sites
• Perform routine maintenance including greasing, fluid checks, and scheduled service across the fleet
• Fuel equipment on active job sites, including towing and managing a diesel fuel trailer to top off machines during idle periods or between operations
• Provide basic maintenance and troubleshooting support for the sensors, wiring, and hardware kits that enable the semi-autonomous equipment
• Track equipment condition, maintenance history, and parts inventory to keep the fleet running reliably

Basic Qualifications/Experience:

• Proven hands-on experience diagnosing and repairing commercial earthworks equipment such as CAT dozers, excavators, graders, or similar
• Comfortable performing both scheduled maintenance and unplanned field repairs independently
• Strong working knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and heavy equipment electrical systems
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and prioritize competing maintenance needs

• Must be willing to work extended hours, weekends and/or available for on-call response

Preferred Qualifications/Experience:

• Experience maintaining or troubleshooting electronic control systems, sensors, or wiring harnesses on modern equipment
• ASE or other relevant heavy equipment/diesel mechanic certifications
• Experience running a mobile or field-service maintenance operation, including towing and managing a fuel trailer
