Turn Wrenches. Haul Iron. Take Care of Customers.
At Tejas Equipment Rentals, every machine has to be serviced, inspected, and delivered ready to work - and this role does all three. We're hiring a full-time Equipment Mechanic / Delivery Driver at our San Marcos branch: a hands-on dual role position for someone who can maintain and repair our fleet in the shop and deliver it to customers behind the wheel of a company F250 with trailer.
This isn't an entry-level make-ready job, and it's not journey-level diagnostics - it's the sweet spot in between. If you've got some real wrench time under your belt, know your way around a truck and trailer, and want a role with variety and a clear path up the mechanic ranks, this one's built for you.

- Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
- Life Insurance
- Health Savings Account
- Paid Time Off
- Competitive pay
- Monday–Friday schedule, with occasional Saturdays to meet customer demand
