Mobile Heavy Equipment Mechanic

Job Description

Next Level Corporation | Denver Metro / Central Front Range Full-time | Field service, home dispatch (no shop commute)

Overview

Next Level Corporation is an independent heavy equipment service company serving contractors, aggregate producers, and equipment fleets across Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. We run a field-first model: our technicians go to the machine instead of making the customer haul it to a shop. That is not a compromise, it is what our customers ask for. It saves them thousands in mobilization cost and days of downtime, and it lets them stand next to the tech and watch the work get done.

We are hiring a Heavy Equipment Field Service Technician for our Central / Denver Metro territory. You will be assigned a fully upfitted Peterbilt service truck (crane, compressor, welder, lube system, diagnostic equipment, and rolling parts inventory) that goes home with you every night. No shop check-in, no yard time. You dispatch from your driveway straight to the jobsite.

You will work alongside a bench where the majority of our technicians hold OEM Master-Level certifications across Komatsu, Caterpillar, John Deere and Volvo. If you have ever been the only person in the building who could chase a hard electrical or hydraulic problem to ground, that is not the situation here. There is real senior support on the other end of the phone.

This is an independent shop with dealer-grade capability. You get the variety of working across every major make, the autonomy of running your own truck and your own day, and the backing of a company that invests in tooling, training, and the equipment you show up in.

What You Will Do

• Diagnose and repair heavy construction equipment in the field, including excavators, dozers, loaders, articulated trucks, motor graders, and related machinery, using OEM software, schematics, and factory specifications.
• Troubleshoot hydraulic, electrical, powertrain, engine, aftertreatment, drivetrain, brake, and HVAC systems, working from symptom to root cause rather than parts swapping.
• Perform scheduled and preventive maintenance, including oil and filter service, fluid sampling, hydraulic and coolant system service, undercarriage inspection, and component wear measurement.
• Complete component replacement and in-field repairs: final drives, travel and swing motors, pumps, cylinders, turbos, injectors, radiators, and related assemblies.
• Fabricate, weld, and cut as needed to complete repairs and restore equipment to service safely.
• Function-test and verify repairs under load before releasing machines back to the customer.
• Write clear, complete work orders that document findings, cause, correction, parts used, and time. Good documentation is how we bill accurately and how customers trust our word.
• Communicate directly with customers on site: explain what you found, what it will take, and what you recommend. You are the face of the company at the jobsite.
• Manage your truck inventory, tooling, DOT compliance, and daily route in coordination with dispatch.
• Support rebuild, inspection, and equipment commissioning work as scheduling allows.

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of hands-on experience servicing heavy construction equipment. Dealer, independent shop, rental fleet, or large owner-operator fleet experience all count.
• Strong diagnostic ability on hydraulic and electrical systems, including the ability to read and work from schematics.
• Diesel engine experience, including modern emissions and aftertreatment systems.
• Comfort with OEM and aftermarket diagnostic software and laptop-based troubleshooting.
• Welding and basic fabrication skill sufficient for field repair work.
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record. CDL is a plus, or we will support you in getting one.
• Ability to work independently, make sound calls without a supervisor standing there, and know when to escalate.
• Professional, direct communication with customers. Our reputation is built one jobsite at a time.
• Your own hand tools. Specialty tooling, diagnostic equipment, and everything mounted on the truck is provided by us.

Nice to have, not required:

• OEM factory training or certification on Komatsu, Caterpillar, Volvo, or comparable brands.
• Experience with undercarriage, final drive, or hydraulic component rebuild.
• Familiarity with fluid analysis, condition monitoring, or telematics-driven maintenance programs.

Why Next Level

• Your truck, your territory. A fully equipped service truck that stays with you. No daily shop commute, no waiting on a bay to open up.
• Every make, every day. Multi-OEM work keeps the job interesting and makes you more valuable over the length of your career, not less.
• Real technical depth on the bench. Master-certified peers to call, not a hotline.
• Growing company, real advancement. We are expanding our fleet and territory. Lead tech, regional, and specialty roles open up as we grow, and we promote from inside first.
• Work that matters to the customer. When you get a machine running, a crew gets back to work. Our customers know exactly who fixed it.
