Livonia, MI | $30–$42+/hr | Full-Time

Good with a wrench? Better with a multimeter, pressure gauge and service manual? We’re looking for technicians who like figuring out what’s wrong and getting equipment back to work.

This is a shop or field technician opening with room for all experience levels. Heavy equipment experience is great, but strong diesel, automotive, ag or industrial mechanics are encouraged to apply.
