This Is Not a “Wrench-and-Walk-Away” Job

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Heavy Equipment Mechanic who owns their craft end-to-end — from first inspection to final test run — and understands that uptime isn’t luck, it’s discipline.

This role is for mechanics who don’t just fix what’s broken, but anticipate failures, protect people, and keep projects moving. If you take pride in running iron that’s safe, dialed-in, and ready to perform — you’ll thrive here.

Additional Scope (High-Value Skillset):

• Inspecting, servicing, repairing, and rebuilding small engines (e.g., generators, compact equipment, pumps, plate compactors, saws, and related support equipment)


• Diagnosing fuel, ignition, cooling, and mechanical issues on small engine systems

This is a hands-on, high-accountability role where your decisions directly affect safety, schedules, and productivity.
