- Documentation & Reporting: Maintain accurate records of vehicle service, fuel consumption, repairs, and parts inventory.
- Welding & Fabrication: Perform minor welding and fabrication tasks to repair vehicle bodies or attachments.

- Experience: Proven experience (typically 2-5+ years) as an auto or diesel mechanic, with preference for experience in heavy equipment.
- Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems.
- Education: High school diploma or equivalent; vocational training or ASE certifications are highly preferred.
- License: Valid driver's license (Commercial Driver's License - CDL - may be required for operating heavy vehicles).
