Job description

NOW HIRING: Mechanic Technician | Small Engine Mechanic | Equipment Mechanic

Professional Tree & Turf Equipment | Arvada, CO

Are you a mechanically-minded person tired of the same repairs day after day?

We're a locally owned, 40+ year Colorado company specializing in commercial spraying equipment for the green industry. We build and service specialized equipment for landscapers, arborists, lawn care companies, and pest control professionals. If you have strong mechanical aptitude and want to work on unique equipment instead of the same oil changes and brake jobs, this could be your opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing:

Your days will vary between assembling new commercial spraying equipment and diagnosing/repairing equipment that comes in for service. You'll work on:

• Small engines (gas and electric)
• Pumps (diaphragm, centrifugal, piston, and others)
• 12V electrical systems
• Plumbing and hose systems for sprayers
• Chainsaws and other professional equipment
• Truck-mounted, skid-mounted, trailer-mounted, van-mounted, UTV-mounted, and backpack sprayers

About 40% of your time will be assembling new equipment, 40% diagnosing and repairing customer equipment, and the rest split between quality control, customer interaction, and keeping the shop organized.

The Challenge (and the fun part):

Customers bring us equipment with problems - but they usually only know the symptoms, not the root cause. You'll need to troubleshoot, diagnose, and figure out what's actually wrong. Sometimes you'll follow repair procedures, other times you'll need to problem-solve on the fly. Every piece of equipment is a little different.

What We're Looking For:

Required:

• Strong mechanical aptitude - this is the most important qualification
• 1-2+ years hands-on mechanical experience (small engines, automotive, HVAC, diesel, lawn equipment, agricultural equipment, or similar)
• Ability to diagnose problems and troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems
• Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment
• Ability to read technical manuals and follow procedures
• Self-motivation and initiative - we don't micromanage
• Excellent attendance and reliability - small team depends on each other
• Professional communication with team members and customers
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Reliable transportation
• Must provide own basic hand tools (specific tool list available)

Preferred (but we'll train the right person):

• Small engine repair experience
• Pump knowledge (diaphragm, centrifugal, piston)
• Agricultural or commercial equipment background
• 12V electrical system experience
• Experience with spraying equipment (rare, but a bonus!)

What Makes This Different:

• Variety: No two days are the same - different equipment, different problems, constantly learning
• Specialized equipment: You'll become an expert in commercial spraying systems, not just another mechanic doing routine maintenance
• B2B focus: Working with professional operators and businesses, not retail customers
• Small team: You'll work with experienced technicians who will train you. Your contributions matter.
• Family atmosphere: 40+ year locally owned business that takes care of our people
• Learn and grow: Cross-training opportunities in fabrication, machining, and more as you develop

Who This ISN'T For:

• If you need constant supervision and direction
• If you can't show up reliably every day
• If you only want to follow the same procedures over and over
• If you're not interested in learning new systems

Compensation & Benefits:

• $20-25/hour depending on experience
• Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm with overtime opportunities during busy season
• Performance bonus potential
• Paid Time Off (accrues per Colorado requirements; increases at 3 years)
• 8 Paid Holidays
• Retirement savings plan with company match
• Hands-on training with experienced technicians

How to Apply:

Submit your RESUME and REFERENCES. A cover letter is strongly encouraged.
