  • Pay is based on experience and union wage scale
  • Regular increases through the union agreement

Benefits

This is where the opportunity really stands out:

  • Excellent union benefits package
  • $0 premium health insurance
  • 11.5% employer pension/retirement contribution
  • 10 vacation days
  • 9 personal days

Requirements

  • Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
  • Experience with diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and fleet maintenance
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Valid driver’s license required
  • CDL A preferred (or ability to obtain after hire)

Why This Job?

This is not a flat-rate dealership environment where you’re chasing hours.

You’ll have:

  • Consistent hours
  • A steady paycheck
  • Strong union protection
  • A pension/retirement package
  • Excellent healthcare
  • Overtime whenever you want it
