About the role

Job Description: Job Description This is a dual role, and both halves matter year-round. When wrenches need turning, you're in the shop. When grain needs moving - harvest, post-harvest, or any point in between - you're behind the wheel of a semi. You shift between them based on what the operation needs. You're not a support role. You're the person responsible for keeping the fleet alive. If something breaks at a bad time, it's on you to have seen it coming. You run the shop like it's yours - because functionally, it is.

What We're Looking For: Solid diesel mechanic background - engines, hydraulics, and electrical Experience with large farm equipment (John Deere, Case IH, or similar)CDL license, or willing to get one Self-sufficient - you know what needs doing without someone making you a list Someone who takes it personally when a machine goes down at the wrong time Comfortable living and working in a remote rural area What We Offer$30-$40 per hour depending on experience Housing included - We help you relocate Year-round, stable workA straightforward family operation that respects your skills and trusts your judgment
Heavy Equipment Mechanic Duties and Responsibilities: Perform electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical repairs as well as preventative maintenance Troubleshoot issues with diesel engines Determine what parts and tools are necessary to make repairs Complete shop paperwork Maintain a clean and safe work area
