• The Technical Deep Dive: Become the ultimate problem-solver. You’ll read and interpret complex electrical and hydraulic schematics to diagnose, repair, and commission sophisticated systems and components.

• Expert Service: Perform detailed preventative maintenance and comprehensive equipment inspections following strict OEM specifications, ensuring maximum reliability and uptime for our customers.

• Customer Champion: Serve as the primary point of contact for customer equipment requests, delivering world-class service and technical expertise.

• Safety First: Uphold and enforce all railroad, safety, health, and environmental regulations and policies with a commitment to a goal of zero incidents. You’ll need to secure an E-Rail security clearance badge to operate in this critical environment

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience & Expertise: A High School Diploma or GED is required, combined with 10+ years of relevant heavy equipment field experience, preferably working with gantry cranes or similar large-scale material handling machinery.

• Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical assemblies is essential, along with strong crane signaling experience.

• The Go-Getter Mindset: The ability to work independently, meet demanding deadlines, and maintain meticulous, accurate records while on-site.

• Physical Stamina: The job involves considerable climbing, twisting, bending, and kneeling. You must be able to ascend and descend ladders/scaffolding and lift parts up to 50 pounds.
