Job description:

About the Role

Walters Landscaping is looking for an experienced mechanic to manage and maintain our mixed fleet of trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, compact equipment, and small engine tools.

This is a hands-on shop role for someone who can work independently, diagnose problems, stay organized, and take ownership of keeping our equipment ready for the crews.

We are not looking for someone who needs constant direction. We need someone who can look at a problem, figure it out, and get it repaired properly.

What You’ll Be Working On

Our fleet and equipment includes:

- Heavy trucks, including tri-axle, tandem, and single-axle trucks
- Medium-duty trucks and support vehicles
- Heavy equipment, including excavators and wheel loaders
- Compact equipment, including skid steers and mini excavators
- Air float trailer and smaller trailers
- Landscape construction equipment
- Small engine tools and equipment
- Hydraulics, electrical, engines, brakes, general repairs, and maintenance

We do not operate snow plows or lawn maintenance mowers.

Responsibilities

- Diagnose and repair trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, compact equipment, and small engine tools
- Perform regular maintenance and inspections
- Keep the shop organized and running efficiently
- Track repairs, parts, tools, and equipment needs
- Order and manage parts as needed
- Prepare trucks and equipment for safety inspections
- Help reduce equipment downtime for the crews
- Plan winter maintenance while construction work slows down
- Take ownership of the overall condition of the fleet and shop

What We’re Looking For

The right person should have:

- Strong mechanical experience with trucks, trailers, equipment, and small engines
- Experience with heavy equipment and compact construction equipment
- Robust diagnostic and problem-solving ability




- Ability to work independently without constant direction
- Strong organization skills
- Own tools
- Valid driver’s licence
- Good communication skills
- Experience managing a shop or fleet is a strong asset

A 310T licence is not required, but it would be considered a strong asset. Experience and ability are also very important to us.

What We Offer

- $30–$50/hour based on experience
- Heated shop
- Organized yard and shop
- Steady work
- Monday to Friday schedule
- Variety of trucks, equipment, trailers, and tools to work on
- Freedom to manage the shop properly
- Family-owned company with direct communication

Who This Job Is Not For

This position is not a good fit for someone with little experience, limited diagnostic ability, or someone who needs to be told what to do throughout the day.

We are looking for someone who can take ownership of the role.

To Apply

Please apply with your resume and include a short note about the types of trucks, trailers, equipment, and small engines you have experience working on.

Pay: $30.00-$55.00 per hour

Expected hours: 45.0 per week

Benefits:

- Company events
- Mileage reimbursement
- On-site parking

Application question(s):

- How many years of paid, hands-on experience do you have diagnosing and repairing trucks or construction equipment?
- List the types and brands of vehicles and equipment have you personally diagnosed and repaired?
- What experience do you have diagnosing hydraulic and electrical problems?
- Have you been responsible for maintaining a fleet or running a shop with limited supervision? Briefly explain how you prioritized repairs, tracked maintenance and ordered parts.
- Do you hold any mechanic trade certificates or licences, such as 310T, 310S or 421A? If so, please list them. Certification is an asset but is not required to apply.
