- Perform approved repairs, including more complex mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic work
- Inspect and test repaired equipment to industry standard (e.g., OEM specifications and applicable codes) and certify for release
- Identify and source required parts and materials; coordinate with purchasing/vendors as needed
- Review and validate Tech I inspection findings, estimates, and repair work; mentor and train Tech I staff
- Maintain accurate, complete documentation for every unit from intake through release
- Follow strict safety and PPE usage protocols due to noise, electrical hazards, and elevated work areas
The Experience We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of progressive mechanical inspection and repair experience
- Strong diagnostic skills across mechanical systems, including hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical-mechanical
- Proficient in developing accurate labor and material estimates
- Working knowledge of relevant industry standards, codes, and manufacturer specifications
- Skilled with precision measuring and diagnostic equipment

- May require use of overhead cranes, hoists, or forklifts to move equipment (certification provided if required)
- Physically capable of lifting 50+ lbs and enduring extended physical activity
- Requires good vision, hearing, and English proficiency for safe, effective communication in noisy environments
Bonus Points for:
- Completion of a trade school program, technical college, associate degree, or skilled trade certification
- Welding experience (MIG, TIG, or stick)
- Previous experience cutting with torch, plasma, or band saw
- Previous electrical testing experience (continuity, voltage, resistance, and basic troubleshooting)
