  • Bonus Incentives & Tool Allowance
  • Paid Time Off + Paid Holidays

Who We Want on the Crew:

You don’t have to be a master mechanic — just someone who’s eager, reliable, and ready to learn. We’re hiring someone who is:

  • Driven and detail-oriented
  • A safety-first kind of person
  • A team player who supports and uplifts others

  • Perform both on-site and remote/emergency repairs
  • Keep your tools, truck, and shop space clean, organized, and safe
  • Use everything from hand tools and air tools to welders and diagnostic equipment
  • Follow safety protocols to the letter — no shortcuts

Expect physical activity (lifting up to 60 lbs) and working in all kinds of weather. Grit and stamina are key.


Extra Credit If You Have:

  • Welding experience (MIG, TIG, stick)
  • Knowledge of hydraulic and electrical systems
  • Paving or excavation background
  • Your own tools (tool allowance provided!)
  • A valid driver’s license (CDL preferred)
