Skilled Diesel Technician (Mechanic) - Compact Equipment

Advance Your Career Below the Surface!

Leppo Rents is looking for a Technician with advanced expertise to service and troubleshoot heavy  underground at a customer’s mine site. This role lets you experience the challenge of underground work for approximately 24 hours each week, while also working out of our shop when not at the mine — giving you the best of both worlds.

Why This Role is Unique:

• Work directly on diesel, hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical systems in a demanding environment.


• Split your time between a unique underground setting and our Leppo Rents shop.


• Become the go-to, working with limited supervision and offering top-notch service.


• Enjoy roughly 24 hours per week, 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM, in a unique setting.

At Leppo Rents, we’re looking for diesel mechanics of all skill levels who can hit the ground running and deliver the top-notch service our customers count on. We value experience, hustle, and the ability to think outside the box when solving problems in the field or in the shop.

If you’re ready to join an award-winning company that values its technicians as much as its customers, apply today and discover what it’s like to work the Leppo Way.

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive pay aligned with your skills ($26–$36/hr and up for top talent)


• Bi-annual tool allowance


• Air-conditioned shop – work comfortably year-round


• Training & development programs to level up your expertise


• Quarterly & annual performance bonuses


• Full benefits package: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Disability Insurance


• Paid Holidays, PTO, Floating Holiday, Parental Leave & Community Time Off


• Company-paid apparel allowance + milestone anniversary gifts


• 401(k) with company match

What we’re looking for: 

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with diesel, hydraulic, and electrical systems (skid steers, mini excavators, telehandlers, and more)


• Ability to troubleshoot, diagnose, and get machines back to work quickly


• Strong problem-solving skills and a drive to tackle complex repairs head-on.


• High school diploma or equivalent, plus a clean driving record


• A safety-first mindset with the ability to work in more challenging, underground conditions.

What You’ll Do:

• Perform complex diagnostics and repairs on compact construction equipment (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and diesel systems).


• Handle routine maintenance to keep our rental fleet in “ready-to-work” condition.


• Use computer-based diagnostic tools to troubleshoot and solve problems efficiently.


• Keep detailed repair and maintenance records and manage work orders.


• Mentor and collaborate with teammates across Parts, Service, Sales, and Rental.
