Job Summary
We're looking for a Service Technician who's spent real time under the hood and knows what it takes to keep heavy equipment running. You'll work primarily in our service facility, with occasional field calls, using hands-on know-how to diagnose and fix complex mechanical problems and keep our Hydrovac trucks running strong. Our team works across the whole truck — engine, chassis, and hydrovac system — and takes pride in fast, reliable fixes that get our customers back to work with minimal downtime.
If you've built your skills through years of hands-on experience rather than a classroom, and you know your way around hydraulics, diesel engines, and heavy trucks, we want to talk to you.

- Diagnose the root cause of any malfunction and carry out the repair
- Read and interpret manufacturer's drawings and manuals
- Use computer diagnostic equipment to troubleshoot issues
- Install heavy components such as PTOs and pumps
- Install, test and repair hydraulic systems
- Install components in truck chassis and bodies
- Evaluate completed units to confirm proper operation
- Keep safety front and center — follow all safety processes and procedures
- Keep the workbay clean, organized, and running efficiently
- Communicate with the parts department to source what you need
- Track your time and complete job paperwork
- Share your knowledge — mentor newer or less experienced techs
