Job description

Are you a technician everyone calls when a machine isn't working and they need someone who can figure out why - not just replace parts?

We're looking for an experienced Shop Service Technician to join our Shippensburg, PA team. This is a hands-on opportunity for a technician who enjoys troubleshooting and repairing construction, heavy, aerial, agricultural, landscape, and fleet equipment. You'll work on a variety of machines and systems rather than seeing the same repair every day.

If you have strong mechanical fundamentals and enjoy diagnosing diesel, hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical problems, we'd like to talk with you.

What You'll Do:

• Diagnose and troubleshoot equipment problems using your mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and diagnostic skills
• Repair and maintain construction, compact, heavy, aerial, agricultural, landscape, and fleet equipment
• Perform preventative maintenance, inspections, equipment setup, and pre-delivery preparation
• Use schematics, service manuals, diagnostic software, and other technical resources to identify and resolve problems
• Complete repair documentation and warranty claims accurately
• Communicate equipment issues, recommended repairs, and completed work with the service team
• Help keep rental and customer equipment safe, reliable, and ready to go to work

What Makes This Opportunity Different

You'll work on more than one type of machine.

Our dealership and rental environment gives our technicians exposure to a wide range of equipment and repair challenges. You'll have the opportunity to continue developing your skills rather than being limited to the same equipment or repairs every day.

We also invest in our technicians through:

• OEM Online training
• Factory training opportunities
• Mentorship and hands-on training
• Access to service information, schematics, and technical resources
• Opportunities to expand your diagnostic and technical skills

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is mechanically strong, dependable, and enjoys solving problems.

Strong candidates will have experience with some combination of:

• Aerial equipment experience is preferred, but not required
• Construction or heavy equipment repair
• Diesel engines and combustion systems
• Hydraulic systems
• DC electrical systems and electrical diagnostics
• Welding and fabrication
• Computerized diagnostic systems
• Reading electrical and hydraulic schematics
• Service manuals and technical documentation

You don't need to have experience with every type of equipment we service.

If you have strong mechanical fundamentals and the ability to diagnose problems, we can help you build the rest of your skill set.

A high school diploma or equivalent industry experience is acceptable.

Schedule

• Full-time
• Approx. 40-50 hours per week
• Approx. 1 Saturday per month

Estimated annual compensation: $50,000.00 - $60,000.00/year (dependent on experience)

Benefits Include:

• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription
• 401(k) with partial company match
• Short- & Long-Term Disability
• Basic and supplemental life insurance

• Employee Discount
• Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays
