Job Description

Heavy equipment mechanics are trained mechanics with knowledge of transmissions, electrical and hydraulic systems. To be a mechanic for Commonwealth Equipment, a candidate must possess a strong work ethic and an ability to handle unexpected situations at a moment's notice. They diagnose mechanical problems, repair equipment, and check and schedule work with the Service Coordinator daily.

Mechanics perform preventative maintenance on equipment including routine maintenance, checking and changing belts, motors, electrical systems, and pumps in order to prevent damage from occurring. If damage does occur, the mechanic also diagnoses the problem and makes appropriate repairs on the machine. To determine whether a machine is properly repaired, mechanics execute a test run to verify the machine is operating smoothly and has no mechanical issues.

Engineers are also called upon to perform inspections on equipment. When performing these inspections, mechanics lubricate and test parts while also checking for severity of wear. In order to perform these and all other duties, the mechanic must use power tools, machine tools, welding tools, and more. During all phases of maintenance, inspection or repair of equipment, mechanics carefully document the work done, time spent on task, and materials used in order to properly invoice customers. Mechanics read, write and process work orders and complete paperwork accurately and completely whenever any work is performed on a machine.
