Job Description Job Description

Heavy Equipment Technician

Brighton, MI $30-$42+/hr Full-Time

We're looking for Heavy Equipment Technicians for both shop or field service. All experience levels are welcome. Maybe you've been wrenching on heavy equipment for years. Maybe your background is diesel, automotive, ag or industrial equipment and you're ready to make the jump. Either way, if you know how to troubleshoot and want to keep learning, let's talk.

The Job

You'll be working on construction equipment and handling everything from basic PMs to major diagnostics and repairs.

• Diesel engine and mechanical repairs
• Hydraulic diagnostics and component repair
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Powertrain and drivetrain work
• PMs, inspections and preventative maintenance
• Diagnose problems and determine the repair - not just swap parts
• Remove/install components and attachments
• Install aftermarket kits and accessories
• Welding and fabrication as needed
• Function-test equipment after repairs
• Complete service paperwork and repair documentation

Shop techs stay busy with repairs, maintenance, diagnostics and component work.

Field techs use a service truck to get customers' equipment back up and running. When field work slows down, you can come back to the shop and stay busy there.

The service truck does not require a CDL. If you have your CDL, there are CDL trucks available.

Who We're Looking For

You don't have to have the perfect résumé. You need to know how to use your tools, troubleshoot a machine and give a damn about the work you put your name on.

• Heavy equipment, diesel, automotive, ag, industrial or related experience
• Good mechanical fundamentals
• Hydraulic/electrical experience is a strong plus
• Diagnostic and troubleshooting experience is a plus
• Willing to train and learn new equipment
• Own professional tools
• Valid driver's license
• Dependable and able to work independently

Pay & Hours

• $30-$42+/hr, based on experience and skill
• Flexible for the right tech
• Monday-Friday
• 7:30 AM-5:00 PM
• Average 45-50 hours/week
• Saturdays are rare

Benefits

• 100% employer-paid medical insurance
• Dental and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Company uniforms
• Paid training and continued development
• Opportunities to move up as your skills grow

Whether you're a seasoned heavy equipment tech or a good mechanic ready to learn the trade, if you can diagnose it, wrench on it and fix it right, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and let's talk shop.
