• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and leadership to less experienced technicians

• Ensure all work meets or exceeds safety and quality standards

• Support shop efficiency by identifying process improvements and maintaining a clean, organized workspace

Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of experience as a heavy equipment or diesel technician (Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, or similar)

• Master-level proficiency in diagnostics, electrical systems, hydraulics, and diesel repair theory

• Proven ability to perform complex troubleshooting and complete all types of repairs independently

• Experience working with compact construction equipment preferred; strong truck or diesel shop background also considered

• Strong commitment to safety, communication, and teamwork

What We Offer

• Competitive pay with flexibility based on experience and performance

• Flat-rate relocation assistance available for qualified hires, including support in securing housing within commuting range

• PTO structure that rewards tenure — experienced hires may qualify for advanced vacation accrual starting day one

• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and retirement options

• Ongoing technical training and factory certification opportunities

• A supportive, collaborative shop culture focused on quality, respect, and long-term stability
