  • Ensure all work is completed in accordance with safety standards and company policies

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience as a mechanic in fleet, construction, or heavy equipment environments
  • Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems

  • Ability to work independently without reliance on a shop environment
  • Clean driving record and valid driver’s license
  • Experience with DOT inspections and compliance standards preferred
  • Stable work history with minimal job hopping
