USM ReRents (a division of US Markets, Inc.) is the leader in the re-rental of aerial construction lifts across the United States and Canada.  Our equipment includes large boom lifts, heavy-capacity telescoping material handlers, and spider/crawler lifts.

• An intermediate-to-advanced level of hydraulic & mechanical & electrical troubleshooting; a solid understanding of gas & diesel engines and electric motors
• A valid drivers’ license (and a good driving record) 
• A good work ethic and a positive attitude
• A willingness to learn, to grow your skills, and to apply technical training concepts to real-world equipment needs
• Demonstrated abilities to professionally work & communicate with and update others
• The abilities to produce quality workmanship and to work in a safe manner

Preferred candidates will possess:

• Previous factory/manufacturer training and/or certification
• Communication skills – the ability to positively interact with, update and partner with your Fleet Service Manager
• A commercial driver’s license is helpful

You will be required to complete online training where available.  You may assist with the purchasing of parts and with creating related purchase orders.

Wage range from $34 - $39 per hour, dependent upon qualifications.  Compensation will be commensurate with specifically-related experience.  The person selected for the job offer will receive a reference check, criminal background check and drug screening prior to the first day of employment.
