• Operate and maintain an assigned field service truck
• Maintain accurate repair documentation and service records
• Provide technical guidance and support to less-experienced technicians
• Communicate professionally with operators, customers, and operations teams

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong experience repairing heavy-duty, off-road equipment

• Strong mechanical and troubleshooting skills
• High school diploma or equivalent
