About The Role

American Roofing & Metal Co. is looking for a skilled Mechanic to keep our construction equipment fleet operational and production-ready. Equipment downtime is lost revenue — this role is critical to maintaining the uptime our field crews depend on every day. You'll be measured on turnaround speed, preventative maintenance adherence, and fleet availability.

Equipment Maintenance & Repair

• Troubleshoot and diagnose mechanical issues across generators, welders, blowers, compressors, boom trucks, trailers, and other construction equipment.
• Perform minor and major repairs; replace parts and restore equipment to full functionality.
• Maintain accurate repair records: date, issue, parts used, labor time, and status.
• Coordinate outside service for repairs beyond in-house capability.

Welding & Fabrication

• Perform structural and component welding on equipment, tools, and custom fixtures.
• Fabricate metal components and attachments to improve equipment performance.
• Inspect all welds and fabrication work for structural integrity and safety compliance.

Preventative Maintenance

• Own and execute the preventative maintenance calendar: oil changes, filter replacements, system checks.
• Prioritize PM work based on production needs and equipment utilization.
• Track equipment performance trends; identify issues proactively before they cause field breakdowns.
• Maintain fleet DOT compliance in coordination with the Safety department.

Parts Inventory & Logistics

• Manage parts, tools, and welding materials inventory; reorder before stock‑outs cause delays.
• Coordinate with Warehouse and field crews to ensure equipment is dispatched in operational condition.
• Verify equipment readiness before dispatch; tag and quarantine any unit needing repair.

Safety & Shop Management

• Adhere to all safety regulations when performing repairs, welding, and equipment operation.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard‑free shop environment.
• Conduct regular safety audits of the shop area.
• Ensure all repaired equipment meets safety and compliance standards before returning to service.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience as a mechanic working on construction or heavy equipment.
• Proficiency in welding (MIG, TIG, and/or stick) and metal fabrication.
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across diesel and gas‑powered equipment.
• Working knowledge of DOT vehicle compliance and inspection requirements.
• Ability to maintain organized repair records and parts inventory.
• Valid driver's license; CDL a plus.
• Self‑directed with the ability to prioritize competing demands from multiple field crews.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Stable, year-round work with a growing company.
