Job Description: Job Description This is a dual role, and both halves matter year-round. When wrenches need turning, you're in the shop. When grain needs moving - harvest, post-harvest, or any point in between - you're behind the wheel of a semi. You shift between them based on what the operation needs. You're not a support role. You're the person responsible for keeping the fleet alive. If something breaks at a bad time, it's on you to have seen it coming. You run the shop like it's yours - because functionally, it is.

What You'll Be Doing:

Maintain and repair the full fleet - tractors, combines, sprayers, air seeders, grain carts, drills, and trucks
Diagnose and fix mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues
Build and own the preventive maintenance schedule - you set it, you keep itMake the call on parts, vendors, and repair vs. replace
Keep the shop organized - parts inventory, tooling, vendor contacts, warranty tracking
Drive semi whenever grain needs to move, not just during harvest
Track maintenance records and document decisions

What We're Looking For:

Solid diesel mechanic background - engines, hydraulics, and electrical
Experience with large farm equipment (John Deere, Case IH, or similar)CDL license, or willing to get one
Self-sufficient - you know what needs doing without someone making you a list
Someone who takes it personally when a machine goes down at the wrong time
Comfortable living and working in a remote rural area

What We Offer:

$30-$40 per hour depending on experience
Housing included - We help you relocate
Year-round, stable work
A straightforward family operation that respects your skills and trusts your judgment
Heavy Equipment Mechanic Duties and Responsibilities
Perform electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical repairs as well as preventative maintenance
Troubleshoot issues with diesel engines
Determine what parts and tools are necessary to make repairs
Complete shop paperwork
Maintain a clean and safe work area

High school diploma or GED certificate
Post-secondary certificate or degree in engineering OR training as a mechanic (a plus)5 years of experience with diesel/heavy equipment repair
