Job Description

Same Skills. Better Shop. Different Challenges Every Day.

Are you getting bored with no variety, working on the same trucks every day? At MacQueen, you'll put your mechanical skills to work on something different.

We're looking for a hands-on technician who enjoys troubleshooting, figuring things out, and working with a variety of equipment. You'll primarily work on street sweepers, vac trucks, refuse truck bodies, hydraulic systems, electrical components, and specialized environmental equipment rather than traditional engine and transmission repairs.

And the best part? You'll do it in an exceptionally clean shop, working on newer equipment with cutting-edge technology, a consistent Monday–Friday schedule, and a company that actually invests in its technicians.

• Work-Life Balance: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM. No nights or weekends.

• Optional Overtime: Available when you want the extra hours.

• Something Different Every Day: Different equipment, different challenges. You won't see the same equipment sitting in your bay twice in a week.

• An Exceptionally Clean Shop: A well-maintained, organized environment with the equipment and resources to do your job right.

• Newer, Cleaner Equipment: Spend your days working on modern refuse and environmental equipment instead of worn-out trucks.

• Cutting-Edge Technology: Advanced diagnostics, modern systems, and innovative equipment.

• Paid OEM Training: Learn directly from manufacturers while getting paid.

• $1,000 Annual Tool Allowance: Invest in the tools you need.

• Annual Safety Allowances: Safety boots and glasses.

• Uniforms Provided: We've got you covered.

• Career Growth: Our Technician Leveling Program provides opportunities to advance your skills, career, and earning potential.

• Job Stability: Work on essential equipment that communities depend on every day.

• Affordable Medical Insurance: Plans starting at $10 a paycheck.

• Competitive 401(k) Match: A company that invests in your future.

Forget the same repairs on repeat. Around here, variety is part of the job. 

• Be the problem solver. Track down electrical gremlins, tackle hydraulic issues, and figure out what's keeping equipment from doing its job.

• Get your hands on some pretty cool equipment. From refuse truck bodies and compactors to specialized environmental equipment, there's always something different rolling into the shop.

• Put your skills to the test. Work with hydraulics, electrical systems, pneumatics, and mechanical components that keep these machines working hard.

• Work smarter with better technology. Use advanced diagnostics, factory software, and specialized tools to get to the root of the problem.

• Keep equipment running strong. Handle everything from preventative maintenance and inspections to repairs, rebuilds, and upgrades.

• Learn from the best. Get hands-on experience with the latest equipment and build your expertise through paid OEM training.

• Take pride in the finished product. There's nothing better than figuring out a tough problem, making the repair, and watching that equipment roll out ready to work.

You know your way around a toolbox, love a good challenge, and get a little satisfaction out of figuring out what everyone else couldn't.

• You've turned a wrench or two. Ideally, you've got 3+ years of experience working on heavy equipment, vocational trucks, agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, or something similar.

• Hydraulics and electrical systems don't scare you. You've got the skills to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical systems.

• You're a natural problem solver. You don't just swap parts and hope for the best. You like figuring out what's wrong and getting it right.

• You know your tools. You're comfortable with hand and power tools, and have experience with welding and cutting equipment.

• You're willing to keep learning. New equipment, new technology, new challenges? Bring it on.

• You take pride in your work. Quality matters, safety matters, and you're the kind of person who wants to do the job right.

• You've got the basics covered. A valid driver's license, acceptable driving record, and enough computer skills to navigate diagnostic software.

Extra Credit (But Not Required):

• You've worked on refuse trucks, municipal equipment, or specialized environmental equipment.

• You've got a Class B CDL.

• You've picked up some OEM certifications or manufacturer training along the way.

Never worked on a garbage truck? No problem.

If you've worked on farm equipment, construction machinery, industrial equipment, or anything with hydraulic and electrical systems, your skills could be exactly what we're looking for. We'll help you learn the equipment.

Physical Demands & Work Environment:

This is a physically demanding position involving extended periods of hands-on work in and around large equipment and mechanical systems. The role may require:

• Frequently bending, squatting, climbing, grasping, twisting, reaching, and working in various positions for extended periods.
• Frequently lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or moving items weighing up to 50 pounds, with occasional handling of heavier items using appropriate assistance or lifting equipment.
• Standing, walking, and moving throughout the workday, including working in confined or elevated areas when necessary.
• Occasionally sitting and using a computer or diagnostic equipment to access technical information, document repairs, and complete service records.
• Working in shop or service environments with potential exposure to moving mechanical parts, chemicals, noise, fumes, and other equipment-related hazards.
• Using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when required by applicable safety procedures
