We specialize in purchasing, repairing, reconditioning, and reselling heavy construction equipment, including compact track loaders, skid steers, excavators, dozers, and other diesel-powered machinery.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual who can independently diagnose mechanical problems, perform repairs efficiently, and take pride in producing quality work. Our shop handles a wide variety of equipment, providing opportunities to work on different machines and challenging repairs rather than performing repetitive maintenance.

Responsibilities

• Perform engine repairs, hydraulic component replacements, and major mechanical repairs.
• Inspect incoming equipment and identify necessary repairs.
• Perform preventative maintenance and equipment servicing.
• Prepare and recondition machinery for resale.
• Maintain an organized, safe, and productive work environment.
• Work independently and communicate repair needs, parts requirements, and progress to management.

Qualifications

• Previous experience repairing heavy construction equipment, agricultural equipment, or similar diesel machinery.
• Strong understanding of diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and electrical troubleshooting.
• Ability to diagnose problems independently rather than simply replacing parts.
• Familiarity with Caterpillar, John Deere, Kubota, Takeuchi, Komatsu, or similar manufacturers preferred.
• Ability to use diagnostic tools, electrical testing equipment, and hydraulic pressure gauges.
• Strong work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to manage time effectively.
• Must have reliable transportation.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Full-time employment with consistent work.
• Established shop with equipment and resources to perform repairs.
• Variety of machinery and repair projects.
• Opportunity for advancement as our company continues to grow.
• Independent working environment without unnecessary micromanagement.
