The Role

This is not a shop role. You will be the frontline mechanic, responsible for keeping mission-critical equipment running across active job sites.

We are looking for someone who can diagnose fast, think independently, and solve problems others can’t—often in remote, high-pressure conditions.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose and repair mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues in the field
• Perform preventative maintenance to reduce downtime
• Execute rapid-response repairs to keep crews operational
• Identify root causes, not just symptoms
• Track and document work, parts, and equipment status
• Train operators on basic maintenance and early issue detection
• Travel extensively and work in physically demanding environments

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic
• Strong troubleshooting across mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems
• Ability to work independently with high ownership
• Willingness to travel up to 100%

Preferred (Higher Ceiling)

• 5+ years in heavy construction equipment (field-based)
• Advanced hydraulics/electrical diagnostics
• CDL and/or relevant certifications

Compensation & Benefits

This is a SALARIED, non-exempt role so you’ll always get your base pay plus an overtime wage when you work more than 40 hours in a week.

• $33–$42/hour + overtime
• Medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with match
• PTO + holidays
• Ongoing training and advancement opportunities

Who Succeeds Here

• Own equipment uptime like it’s their business
• Solve complex failures under pressure
• Anticipate problems before they happen
• Improve performance across the fleet—not just fix individual machines

If you’re a high-agency mechanic who wants to operate in the field, solve real problems, and be trusted to deliver, we want to hear from you.
