Job Description

Stop turning wrenches for a company that doesn't value your craft and has a no A-hole policy.

We are looking for a "mechanic's mechanic"— One who can maintain equipment and can walk up to a piece of equipment and figure out why it isn't working.

At MHS Lift , we’ve spent 56 years building a reputation as a leader in material handling—but we know we’re only as good as our employees. As a Top Workplace since 2020 from the Philadelphia Inquirer and USA Today for the past 2 years, and an employee-owned company , we don’t just offer a job; we offer a stake in the business.

We are looking for a self-motivated Forklift Mechanic who wants to get out from under the shop lights and into the field, solving real-world mechanical puzzles and keeping our customers moving.
