Day to Day:
A top construction client is looking for a Mechanic to join their Equipment Branch for a direct placement opportunity. The main responsibilities are split up: 80% fixing/servicing broken equipment and 20% mentoring/cleaning/paperwork. They should be experienced managing inventory and ordering necessary parts and supplies to complete repairs, overhauling components (i.e. engines, transmissions, undercarriages, electrical systems, cooling and braking systems), and using computerized diagnostic equipment to identify mechanical problems and applying corrective actions. The individual will work on a team of mechanics but should be a mechanical subject matter expert. The ideal candidate would have around 7-10 years of experience as a mechanic dealing with the maintenance of large construction machinery and equipment.
