Job description

Most contractors rent their specialty equipment. We own ours — 105′ digger derricks and bucket trucks, a pressure digger, track units, a directional bore machine, a vacuum excavator — and it’s maintained by the people who depend on it. That’s you.

The work runs both ways: scheduled maintenance and real repairs in the yard, and the call at an odd hour when a rig goes down on a job three states from home and a crew is standing around waiting on you.

What you’ll do

• Maintain and repair the fleet: digger derricks, bucket trucks, pressure diggers, track units, the directional bore machine, and the vacuum excavator
• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance and keep service records current
• Diagnose and repair diesel engines, hydraulics, and truck-mounted equipment
• Handle field service calls to get a down rig running and a crew back to work
• Keep aerial equipment inspected and compliant so it’s safe to put a lineman in the bucket

What we’re looking for

• Hands-on experience maintaining heavy trucks and equipment
• A valid CDL (commercial driver’s license)
• Willingness to travel for field service across our five-state area
• Able to pass a pre-employment drug screening

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Life insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability
• 401(k)
• Paid time off

Travel is required — our work spans five states. Karian Peterson pays for lodging, and per diem is offered on top of it.
