Heavy Equipment Technician

Job Description

Heavy Equipment Technician – Shop or Field

Saginaw, MI | $30–$42+/hr | Full-Time

If you know your way around a diesel, can chase down a hydraulic problem, and would rather fix a machine than talk about fixing it, keep reading.

We’re looking for Heavy Equipment Technicians for both shop or field service . All experience levels are welcome. Maybe you’ve been wrenching on heavy equipment for years. Maybe your background is diesel, automotive, ag, or industrial equipment and you’re ready to make the jump into heavy equipment. We’ll talk to both.

What You'll Be Doing

This is hands-on work — PMs, repairs, diagnostics and keeping equipment out of the breakdown lane.

• Diagnose and repair heavy construction equipment
• Diesel engine, drivetrain and powertrain repair
• Hydraulic troubleshooting and component repair
• Electrical diagnostics and troubleshooting
• PMs, inspections and preventative maintenance
• Component R&R and general mechanical repairs
• Install attachments, accessories and aftermarket kits
• Welding and fabrication when needed
• Function-test equipment after repairs
• Document the work and close out service calls

Shop techs handle repairs, PMs, diagnostics and component work in the shop.

Field techs head out in a service truck and troubleshoot equipment where it’s working. When field work slows down, you can come back to the shop and keep turning wrenches.

No CDL required for the service truck. CDL is a plus, and CDL trucks are available if you have one.

What We're Looking For

We’re not hung up on titles. If you know how to use your tools and figure out why a machine isn’t doing what it should, we want to hear from you.

• Heavy equipment, diesel, automotive, agricultural, industrial or similar experience
• Good mechanical fundamentals
• Hydraulic and electrical experience is a plus
• Diagnostic/troubleshooting experience is a plus
• Willingness to learn new equipment and systems
• Own professional tools
• Valid driver’s license
• Dependable and safety-minded

Pay & Schedule

• $30–$42+/hr , depending on experience and skill
• Flexible for the right technician
• Monday–Friday. 7:30 AM–5:00 PM
• Average 45–50 hours/week
• Saturdays are rare

Benefits

• 100% employer-paid medical insurance
• Dental and vision
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Company uniforms
• Paid training
• Room to grow

If you can diagnose it, wrench on it and send it back out knowing the repair is right, let’s talk.
