Our service department is the backbone of this dealership, and we are looking for an experienced Service Technician to join a shop that keeps our customers running year-round.

We are searching for someone who understands both the machine and the operation behind it, and who can diagnose a problem accurately the first time rather than replacing parts until it works.

Qualifications

- Experience repairing agricultural, construction, or heavy diesel equipment

- Strong diagnostic ability across hydraulics, electrical, powertrain, and engines

- Comfortable working with diagnostic software and equipment technology

- Able to read and interpret technical manuals and schematics

- Own set of hand tools

- Valid driver's license, CDL a plus

- Case IH experience is a plus, but we will train the right person

- Dependable, safety minded, and able to work independently

What We Offer

- $75,000 to $90,000 per year based on experience and certification

- Efficiency based bonus program, paid on billed hours against hours worked, on top of salary

- Paid manufacturer training and certification

- Health insurance, retirement plan, PTO, paid holidays, and additional benefits
