Heavy Equipment Mechanic - Cat Rebuild Technician
Full-time
Best Equipment Inc
About Best Equipment Inc.
Best Equipment Inc. is a Michigan-based specialist in buying, selling, and rebuilding heavy construction and landfill equipment. We run a certified rebuild program for Caterpillar landfill compactors and dozers, using 100% Caterpillar OEM parts and holding every project to strict performance and durability standards. Our shop is led by a manager with more than 40 years in the industry, and demand for our rebuilt machines consistently exceeds supply.
We are growing our shop in Jackson, Michigan and looking for an experienced heavy-equipment mechanic to join us.
The Role
As a Cat Rebuild Technician, you will perform full teardowns, inspections, and rebuilds of Caterpillar landfill compactors, dozers, and related earthmoving equipment. This is hands-on shop work for someone who takes pride in doing the job right and wants steady, skilled work close to home.
What You Will Do
- Disassemble, inspect, and rebuild Cat compactors, dozers, and heavy earthmoving equipment
- Diagnose and repair engines, hydraulics, powertrains, and undercarriage systems
- Work to OEM specifications and quality standards on every rebuild
- Document work and communicate findings clearly with the shop team
What We Are Looking For
- Experience as a heavy-equipment or diesel mechanic, ideally with Caterpillar machines
- Cat-certified or rebuild experience strongly preferred
- Strong diagnostic skills across engines, hydraulics, and powertrains
- Your own hand tools (we help with the rest, see below)
- A reliable, safety-minded teammate who takes ownership of their work
Why Techs Are Making the Move to Best Equipment
- Competitive pay, above what many dealers offer for the right technician (we will talk specifics by phone)
- Day-one health insurance, no 30-to-60-day waiting period
- We match the PTO you have already earned
- Tool allowance, plus we cover moving and rigging your toolbox
- Home every night, no on-call, no road or service calls
- Steady 40-hour weeks in a well-equipped shop in Jackson, Michigan
If you are a Cat-certified or rebuild-experienced tech in the Jackson, Lansing, or Southeast Michigan area, or you know someone who is, we would like to talk. Apply here or learn more at
