Job Description - Heavy Equipment Technician

We support employers in the heavy equipment and construction sectors who need experienced mechanics to keep their fleets operating safely and efficiently. This role focuses on diagnostics, field service, and repair work on major heavy equipment brands. It is ideal for a technician with strong experience, solid troubleshooting skills, and the ability to work independently on customer sites.

This position involves more field work than a typical shop mechanic role. You’ll handle service truck calls, perform on -site troubleshooting, and support the branch with in -shop repairs when needed. This is not an entry -level role — the employer is looking for a seasoned technician who can take the lead on complex issues.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose equipment malfunctions using meters, diagnostic tools, and field -testing methods

• Perform repairs on engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and machine control systems
• Conduct scheduled maintenance and major service intervals on heavy equipment
• Handle field service calls to return equipment to operation or assist in transporting units back to the shop
• Repair and maintain components such as enclosures, dashboards, wiring, lighting systems, and control panels
• Prepare equipment for rental readiness, ensuring machines meet safety and performance standards
• Move equipment in and out of the yard/shop using forklifts or operating the units directly
• Maintain accurate repair records, work orders, and inspection documentation
• Keep tools, service truck, and work areas clean, organized, and compliant with safety procedures
• Communicate effectively with the branch team and customers while on job sites


What We’re Looking For

• At least 6 years of hands -on heavy equipment experience (rental industry experience is a plus but not required)
• Strong knowledge of John Deere, Komatsu, Caterpillar, Bobcat, or similar construction equipment
• JLG/Genie certification preferred but not required
• Ability to troubleshoot diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and basic electronics
• Comfortable working independently in the field and interacting with customers professionally
• Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to learn increasingly complex systems
• Able to follow all applicable safety rules, laws, and procedures
• Accurate record keeping in both written work orders and digital systems
• High school diploma or equivalent


Compensation & Benefits

This role offers competitive compensation based on experience, along with excellent employer -provided benefits
