MHE Service Technician II (Forklift - LP/Electric)

Job Description

Job Description

Your day as an MHE Service Technician II

Morning toolbox check. Work orders open. You head to the first call: a sit-down forklift due for a full PM. By midday, you're swapping filters and fluids on an LP unit. In the afternoon, you isolate a steering issue on an electric reach truck with your DVOM. Throughout the day, you collaborate with a lead technician or manager, and you back up Level 3 techs when complex repairs arise. You’re the go-to expert in either LP or electric systems—and you’re confident handling repairs across both platforms.

What you’ll tackle

• Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on material handling equipment (LP and electric) with self-sufficiency.
• Execute forklift PM services, including:
  • Fluid services: engine oil, transmission fluid, differential gear lube, and hydraulic fluid.
  • Filter changes: air, oil, fuel, and ATF.
• Complete tune-ups: set valve clearances; replace spark plugs and plug wires.
• Adjust brakes/risers; inspect and repack wheel bearings.
• Inspect and water forklift batteries on a defined schedule; remove, repair, and install batteries as needed.
• Perform steering and basic overheating diagnostics and repairs.
• Rotate attachment pads; replace parts such as horns, lights, and tires.
• Handle minor paint touch-ups on equipment.
• Hit performance targets: complete 30+ PMs per month and maintain 80–90% productivity.

What makes you successful

• 1–2 years of troubleshooting experience on either electric or LP forklifts (and capable of basic repairs on both).
• Hands-on experience with attachments and related repairs.
• Foundational knowledge of electrical, LP, and hydraulic systems; comfortable using a DVOM.
• Ability to read wiring diagrams and follow service manuals.
• Strong customer service, clear communication, and solid computer skills (MS Office).
• Bring your own hand tools.
• Post- secondary/technical education is a plus but not required.

Physical and work environment

• Lift and/or pull 75+ lbs without restriction.
• Work outdoors in inclement weather as required.
• Operate in high-noise environments and around respiratory hazards without restriction.
• Stand or lie down for extended periods to access components.
• Move with flexibility to reach, maneuver, and service equipment.
• Willingness to travel as needed.
