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.

What You'll Do

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

• 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
