    •  Company-provided take-home service van 
    •  100% paid travel time 
    •  Fuel card

    What We’re Looking For


    We are looking for an experienced technician who is dependable, mechanically strong, safety-minded, and comfortable working directly with customers in the field.

    The right person can troubleshoot beyond the obvious issue, explain repairs clearly, manage their own day, and take pride in getting equipment back up and running the right way.

    • 5+ years of experience as a Forklift Technician, Field Service Technician, Diesel Mechanic, Heavy Equipment Technician, Equipment Mechanic, Industrial Maintenance Technician, Maintenance Mechanic, or similar technician role 
    •  Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills 
    •  Experience with hydraulic systems, electrical systems, engines, drivetrains, mechanical systems, and industrial equipment 
    •  Ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, service manuals, and technical documentation 
    •  Strong communication and customer service skills 
    •  Ability to work independently with minimal supervision 
    •  Ability to manage service calls, customer expectations, and repair documentation professionally 
    •  Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record 
    •  Ability to lift 50+ pounds and work in industrial environments

    Travel time is paid, and your work will directly support customers who rely on WMH to keep their operations moving.
