The Opportunity

Are you tired of the corporate dealership grind and unstable hours? Join a 100-year legacy and earn a real Pension.

Dunning Industries Inc. isn't just another aggregate company; we are a family-owned institution in Farmington with a century of history. We provide the essential materials that build Connecticut-from custom soils to mining aggregates. We are currently seeking an experienced Heavy Equipment & Diesel Fleet Mechanic to keep our diverse fleet moving.

If you want to work for a stable company where your name actually matters, you won't get bored here. You will work on everything from road tractors and tri-axles to heavy "yellow iron" (loaders, screeners, crushers) and manufacturing equipment. We offer steady, year-round work, plenty of overtime potential, and a Pension Plan to truly secure your future.

What You Will Be Doing

You will be the hands-on expert keeping our heavy machinery and transport fleet out of the shop and in the dirt where they belong:

• Advanced Diagnostics & Repair: Troubleshoot and repair complex diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and electrical issues across our diverse fleet of trucks and heavy equipment.
• Heavy Systems Overhaul: Skillfully repair and replace air brake systems, transmissions, clutches, suspensions, and exhaust systems.
• Preventative Maintenance: Perform thorough DOT inspections and routine fleet service to catch mechanical problems long before they cause costly downtime.
• Shop Operations: Maintain a clean, highly organized, and safe work environment while accurately documenting all your repairs.
• Team Collaboration: Work directly with our operations team to prioritize which machines need to get back on the job site first.

What You Need to Succeed (Qualifications)

• Experience: 2+ years of proven diesel mechanic experience. (Experience working specifically with heavy construction equipment and advanced hydraulics is a major plus!)
• Technical Knowledge: A strong, comprehensive understanding of diesel engines, electrical diagnostics, and air brake systems.
• Diagnostic Skills: The proven ability to diagnose complex mechanical issues efficiently and accurately. (Welding and Fabrication skills are highly preferred, but not strictly required).
• Licensure: A valid Driver's License is required. (Holding a CDL Class A or B is a huge bonus!)
• Mindset: You are highly reliable, strictly safety-focused, and more than willing to get your hands dirty in both the shop and the yard.

Compensation & Premium Benefits

Very few companies still offer this level of long-term security. We invest heavily in your future:

• Top-Tier Pay: $30.00 - $36.00 per hour strictly based on your experience.
• Financial Growth: Consistent Overtime availability based on operational needs, plus a lucrative Year-End Bonus opportunity.
• The Pension: A true Pension Plan is available to secure your retirement!
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive Health and Dental Insurance.
• Work-Life Balance: Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and a reliable Monday-Friday schedule.
• Unmatched Stability: We have been in business for 100 years. We aren't going anywhere.
