Heavy Truck & Emergency Vehicle Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Why North Dakota?

Because the people here still value craftsmanship, reliability, and a job done right.

You'll support the equipment that keeps North Dakota communities moving—from emergency response vehicles and municipal fleets to environmental and infrastructure equipment. The work is meaningful, the customers appreciate what you do, and every day brings a new challenge worth solving.

What You'll Be Doing

• Diagnose, repair, and maintain a wide variety of environmental, municipal, public safety, and specialty equipment
• Perform inspections, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs on heavy-duty chassis and equipment systems
• Utilize advanced diagnostic tools, computer programming, and testing equipment to identify and resolve mechanical and electrical issues
• Complete factory warranty repairs and service work according to manufacturer and company standards
• Service equipment from industry-leading manufacturers including Elgin, Vactor, McNeilus, LaRue, Envirosight, and other specialized vehicle and equipment platforms
• Support equipment utilized by municipalities, public works departments, contractors, EMS agencies, fire departments, and other critical service organizations
• Work with hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, mechanical, and control systems
• Perform welding and cutting operations as needed
• Participate in manufacturer, regional, and national training programs to continually expand your technical expertise
• Utilize hand tools, power tools, hoists, cranes, and diagnostic equipment safely and effectively
• Partner with Service, Parts, and Administrative teams to deliver exceptional customer support
• Maintain a clean, safe, and professional work environment both in the shop and at customer locations

What Makes This Role Different

At MacQueen, you won't spend every day working on the same equipment.

Our customers include municipalities, contractors, public works departments, fire departments, EMS agencies, and other organizations that provide essential services to their communities.

The equipment you repair helps:

• Firefighters respond to emergencies
• EMS teams deliver lifesaving care
• Public safety agencies stay mission-ready
• Municipal crews maintain roads and infrastructure
• Refuse and environmental teams keep communities clean and operational
• Sewer inspection and environmental service crews protect critical infrastructure

Simply put—your work has a direct impact on the people who serve others every day.

The Ideal Candidate

You're the technician who enjoys solving problems others can't.

You like variety, enjoy learning new systems, and take pride in figuring out the root cause—not just replacing parts.

Whether it's hydraulic systems, electrical diagnostics, mechanical repairs, or specialized equipment troubleshooting, you're excited by the challenge and motivated by the opportunity to keep critical equipment in service.

You live in or around the Bismarck area but enjoy time on the road to travel to the western side of the state.  

What You'll Bring

• 2-year Diesel Technician/Mechanic degree or equivalent hands-on experience
• Minimum 3 years of experience working as a full-time technician or mechanic on heavy-duty equipment
• Strong hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical troubleshooting experience
• Welding and cutting torch experience
• Ability to diagnose and repair complex equipment and vehicle systems
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and the ability to learn new technologies quickly
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record

Bonus Points For:

Direct experience with emergency vehicles, municipal equipment, refuse equipment, environmental equipment, sewer inspection systems, heavy trucks, or specialty vehicles

Class B CDL

Why You'll Love MacQueen

• Team-oriented culture that respects and values technicians
• Diverse equipment and new challenges every day
• Career growth opportunities across multiple business segments
• The opportunity to support equipment that protects lives, serves communities, and keeps critical infrastructure operating

Your Work Matters Here.

When a fire truck responds to a call, a sewer inspection unit enters the field, or a municipality clears debris after a storm, there's a good chance a MacQueen technician helped make it happen.

If you're ready to put your skills to work on equipment that makes a real difference, apply today and join the team that helps keep communities safe, clean, and running strong.
