  • Conduct scheduled maintenance inspections and document equipment condition and repair history.
  • Respond to equipment breakdowns on active construction sites and perform field repairs when required.
  • Work with operations team to prioritize maintenance activities and minimize equipment downtime.
  • Maintain organized shop environment and ensure tools and parts inventory are properly managed.
  • Ensure all repairs meet manufacturer specifications and safety standards.
  • Perform welding and fabrication as needed for equipment repairs and modifications.
  • Maintain accurate service records and documentation in compliance with company policies.
  • Participate in equipment procurement decisions and provide technical input on specifications.

Required Qualifications:
  • Minimum 5 years experience as a heavy diesel mechanic, preferably working on construction or earth-moving, open surface mining equipment.
  • 410T certification strongly preferred.
  • Solid diagnostic abilities with hydraulic, electrical, and diesel engine systems.
  • Experience with Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, or similar heavy equipment brands.
  • Proficiency with diagnostic software and electronic control systems.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, hydraulic schematics, and electrical diagrams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently or as part of a team.
  • Valid driver's license with satisfactory driving record; DZ license an asset.
  • Commitment to workplace safety and proper use of personal protective equipment.
  • Reliable transportation and ability to work at our rural location.

What We Offer:
  • Position with an established company maintaining continuous operations since 1930.
  • Well-equipped shop with modern diagnostic tools and equipment.
  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and certification.
  • Benefits package for full-time employees.
  • Opportunities for professional development and ongoing training.
  • Varied work on diverse equipment types and brands.
  • Supportive team environment with experienced operators and management.
  • Stable, year-round employment with a company invested in equipment reliability and employee safety.
