- Troubleshoot, service and repair heavy-duty equipment, medium-duty trucks, hydro vacs, directional drilling equipment, excavators, skid steers, trailers, and similar equipment.
- Diagnose, maintain, and repair small engines and gas-powered equipment as required.
- Use scanning tools, diagnostic equipment, service manuals, schematics, and manufacturer specifications to identify faults and determine the root cause of equipment failures.
- Perform hydraulic repairs, component rebuilds, welding, metal fabrication, and trailer repairs, including braking systems and safety-related repairs.
- Complete field and emergency repairs, including travel to equipment requiring troubleshooting or repair.
- Maintain accurate vehicle and equipment maintenance, inspection, and safety records, ensuring equipment meets or exceeds required safety standards.
- Identify, source, and order parts and components, while coordinating availability and pricing with management.
- Prioritize workflow, plan daily repairs, and minimize equipment downtime.
- Clearly communicate diagnoses, repair requirements, equipment condition, and recommendations to management and operators.
- Train and mentor junior mechanics and apprentices when required.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment while following COR and company safety policies.
