Job Description
Field Service Diesel Technician — Heavy Equipment & Hydraulics
Toledo, OH / Southeast Michigan
Compensation: $25–$35/hr + Overtime + Service Truck
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:00/5:00 PM, with some Saturday OT
A day in the life
Roll out at 7:00 AM, load up your company service truck, and head to one of four nearby locations—most days in Toledo, with occasional runs across Southeast Michigan, all within a 50–60 mile radius. Before lunch, you might diagnose a hydraulic leak on a skid steer and swap a blade on a shear. By afternoon, it’s electrical troubleshooting on a forklift followed by final performance testing and documentation. You wrap by organizing tools and coordinating the next day’s plan with the team.
Core responsibilities
- Maintain, diagnose, and repair diesel-powered heavy equipment (skid steers, cranes, forklifts, shears).
- Troubleshoot hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical systems to root cause.
- Perform engine service, component swaps, and blade replacements.
- Inspect, test, and document repairs for safety, compliance, and performance.
- Keep tools, truck, and work areas in safe, ready-to-work condition.
- Coordinate with teammates and management to maximize uptime and turnaround.
What you bring
- 3+ years of experience as a diesel or heavy equipment mechanic.
- Strong hydraulic and electrical diagnostics capability.
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
- Self-starter who can work independently and stay dependable in the field.
- Own basic tools; additional tools provided as needed.
Why you’ll like it here
- Competitive pay: $25–$35/hr based on experience.
- Overtime eligible, paid at time-and-a-half.
- Company service truck provided for travel between sites.
- Steady, full-time, year-round workload.
- Hands-on variety across industrial and heavy-duty equipment.
