Heavy Equipment Technician - Prattville

We support employers in the heavy equipment and

construction sectors who need experienced mechanics to keep their

fleets operating safely and efficiently. This role focuses on

diagnostics, field service, and repair work on major heavy

equipment brands. It is ideal for a technician with strong

experience, solid troubleshooting skills, and the ability to work

independently on customer sites. This position involves more field

work than a typical shop mechanic role. Youll handle service truck

calls, perform on-site troubleshooting, and support the branch with

in-shop repairs when needed. This is not an entry-level role — the

employer is looking for a seasoned technician who can take the lead

on complex issues. What You'll Do Diagnose equipment malfunctions

using meters, diagnostic tools, and field-testing methods Perform

repairs on engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and machine

control systems Conduct scheduled maintenance and major service

intervals on heavy equipment Handle field service calls to return

equipment to operation or assist in transporting units back to the

shop Repair and maintain components such as enclosures, dashboards,

wiring, lighting systems, and control panels Prepare equipment for

rental readiness, ensuring machines meet safety and performance

standards Move equipment in and out of the yard / shop using

forklifts or operating the units directly Maintain accurate repair

records, work orders, and inspection documentation Keep tools,

service truck, and work areas clean, organized, and compliant with

safety procedures Communicate effectively with the branch team and

customers while on job sites What Were Looking For At least 6 years
