This is a hands‑on, shop‑based position focused on diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining aerial equipment, including scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other access equipment. You'll work with a variety of machines, systems, and repair challenges while continuing to develop your technical skills.

Whether you're an experienced aerial equipment mechanic or a strong construction equipment technician looking to expand into aerial equipment, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do:

• Diagnose and troubleshoot equipment problems using your mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and diagnostic skills
• Perform repairs and maintenance on scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other aerial equipment

Why Technicians Choose Best Line Equipment

Build your expertise. Don't get stuck doing the same repairs every day.

Our dealership and rental environment gives our technicians exposure to a wide range of equipment and repair challenges. You'll have the opportunity to continue developing your skills rather than being limited to the same equipment or repairs every day.

We also invest in our technicians through:

• OEM Online training
• Factory training opportunities
• Mentorship and hands‑on training
• Access to service information, schematics, and technical resources
• Opportunities to expand your diagnostic and technical skills

• Construction or heavy equipment repair
• Diesel engines and combustion systems
• Hydraulic systems
• DC electrical systems and electrical diagnostics
• Welding and fabrication
• Computerized diagnostic systems
• Reading electrical and hydraulic schematics
• Service manuals and technical documentation

You don't need to have experience with every type of equipment we service. If you have strong mechanical fundamentals and the ability to diagnose problems, we can help you build the rest of your skill set.

A high school diploma or equivalent industry experience is acceptable.

Schedule

• Full‑time, shop‑based position
• Approx. 40-50 hours per week
