Heavy Equipment Diesel Mechanic

Job Description Job Description This is a dual role, and both halves matter year-round. When wrenches need turning, you're in the shop.

You're the person responsible for keeping the fleet alive. If something breaks at a bad time, it's on you to have seen it coming. You run the shop like it's yours — because functionally, it is.
