This is a senior, hands-on maintenance leadership position requiring significant mobile crane experience and robust technical knowledge.

This is not a general fleet administration role. Significant mobile crane maintenance and repair experience is mandatory.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the day-to-day maintenance and reliability of Modern Crane’s mobile crane and heavy-equipment fleet.
- Establish repair priorities based on safety, equipment condition, operational requirements, customer commitments, and availability.

- Review operator and technician equipment reports and ensure deficiencies are investigated, repaired, documented, and closed.
- Monitor equipment downtime and drive repairs through to completion.
- Provide technical direction on complex crane troubleshooting and major repairs.
- Coordinate technicians, apprentices, OEM representatives, dealers, vendors, and specialized repair facilities.
- Coordinate annual inspections, certifications, structural inspections, and required corrective repairs.
- Ensure maintenance is completed in accordance with OEM requirements, company standards, and applicable safety requirements.
- Maintain accurate work orders, inspection records, repair histories, certifications, and maintenance documentation.
- Coordinate parts and critical component requirements.
- Identify recurring failures and implement corrective and preventative solutions.
- Ensure equipment is properly tested and verified before returning to service.
- Assist with hydraulic, electrical, electronic, mechanical troubleshooting.
- Coordinate major component repairs, rebuilds, and replacements.




- Work directly with crane manufacturers and technical-support representatives when required.
- Lead, mentor, and develop maintenance personnel while establishing high standards for safety, workmanship, productivity, and accountability.
- Provide management with recommendations regarding major repairs, equipment condition, lifecycle planning, and repair-versus-replace decisions.

Required Experience & Qualifications
- Significant hands-on mobile crane maintenance, diagnostic, and repair experience.
- Strong technical knowledge of mobile crane systems and operating principles.
- Strong knowledge of hydraulic, electrical, electronic, and mechanical systems.
- Experience with boom, telescoping, outrigger, stabilization, and crane safety systems.
- Familiarity with LMI/RCI systems, electronic controls, diagnostic systems, and CAN-bus networks.
- Strong knowledge of diesel-powered heavy equipment.
- Ability to read and interpret hydraulic schematics, electrical diagrams, technical manuals, and OEM service information.
- Proven ability to diagnose complex equipment issues and develop effective repair strategies.
- Experience coordinating technicians, vendors, repairs, and competing operational priorities.
- Experience working with crane manufacturers, dealers, and specialized repair facilities.
- Previous experience in crane maintenance leadership, service management, shop supervision, lead technician, or senior heavy-equipment maintenance.
- Strong organizational, planning, communication, and leadership skills.
- Ability to prioritize repairs and effectively manage equipment downtime.
- Robust computer skills and experience with maintenance, work-order, parts, or diagnostic systems.
- Strong commitment to safety, preventative maintenance, reliability, and quality workmanship.
