**Amundson Group**

A self-performing construction contractor in New York is hiring a Diesel Mechanic to join their fleet maintenance team. This is hands-on work keeping heavy equipment running on active jobsites and in the shop. If you know diesel engines, heavy construction equipment, and take pride in keeping a fleet safe and operational, this role is worth your time.

## What You Will Run

You will maintain, repair, and occasionally operate a full range of construction equipment: excavators, graders, bulldozers, backhoes, front end loaders, skid steers, asphalt pavers, rollers, reclaimers, soil stabilizers, and milling machines. You will also service smaller equipment like jackhammers and saws as needed.

Your core responsibilities include diagnosing and troubleshooting equipment failures, repairing diesel and gasoline engines, and managing shop operations like maintenance scheduling and parts inventory. You will operate hand tools and shop equipment including welders, cut-off saws, drill presses, jacks, chain hoists, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, grease guns, bench grinders, pressure washers, and torches.

You will travel to remote jobsites for emergency repairs and maintenance when needed. You will also perform pre- and post-trip inspections, maintain on-site stock for routine maintenance, keep the shop and yard organized and clean, and ensure all work meets safety and regulatory standards.

## What It Takes

- Solid knowledge of heavy site construction equipment operation, maintenance, capability, and function
- Ability to diagnose and repair diesel and gasoline engines
- Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment
- Ability to work independently and follow a work schedule
- Strong written and oral communication skills
- Willingness to take direction and constructive criticism
- Genuine commitment to safety, no shortcuts
- General knowledge of first aid and applicable safety precautions
- Ability to read and follow written and oral instructions
- Teamwork mindset and willingness to assist others

## Compensation

58,000 to 80,000 per year, based on experience and skill level.
