Job description
MOBILE REFUSE TRUCK MECHANIC
Garbage / Refuse Truck Repair & Field Service
We are looking for an experienced, dependable Mobile Refuse Truck Mechanic to perform field repairs, diagnostics, preventive maintenance, and emergency service on garbage and refuse collection equipment.
This is not a standard automotive mechanic position. We are looking for someone comfortable working with heavy-duty trucks, hydraulics, electrical systems, and refuse-body equipment in the field.
Responsibilities
Diagnose and repair garbage/refuse trucks at customer locations
Troubleshoot hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical systems
Diagnose hydraulic leaks, pressure issues, valves, pumps, cylinders, hoses, and fittings
Troubleshoot electrical wiring, switches, relays, sensors, solenoids, cameras, and control systems
Repair and troubleshoot refuse-body functions including:
Packers
Tailgates
Ejector systems
Arms and grabbers
Tippers
Cart lifters
PTO and pump systems
Perform preventive maintenance and inspections
Diagnose intermittent problems and determine root causes instead of simply replacing parts
Perform emergency/road service when required
Maintain an organized mobile service truck and parts inventory
Accurately document repairs, parts used, labor, and equipment condition
Communicate professionally with customers, drivers, dispatchers, and shop personnel
Follow proper lockout/tagout, blocking, stored-energy, and general safety procedures
Equipment
Technician may work on a variety of refuse equipment including:
Rear Loaders • Front Loaders • Automated Side Loaders • Roll-Off Trucks • Container Delivery Trucks • Cart Tippers/Lifters
Experience with manufacturers such as McNeilus, Heil, New Way, Labrie, EZ Pack, Amrep, Galbreath, Leach, and similar equipment is a major plus.
Qualifications
Heavy truck, refuse equipment, hydraulic, or heavy-equipment repair experience preferred
Strong hydraulic and electrical troubleshooting ability
Ability to read hydraulic and electrical schematics
Comfortable using diagnostic equipment and electrical test meters
Welding/fabrication experience is a plus
CDL is a plus
Valid driver's license
Must be comfortable performing repairs outdoors and at customer facilities
Must be able to work independently and make sound repair decisions in the field
What We're Looking For
We want a technician and troubleshooter , not just a parts changer.
The right person can arrive at a disabled truck, determine what is actually causing the problem, make the proper repair, and get the customer's equipment back into service safely and efficiently.
Refuse equipment experience is highly desirable, but we are also interested in strong heavy-equipment, hydraulic, truck, utility, construction-equipment, or fleet mechanics who are willing to learn the refuse industry.
Compensation
Competitive pay based on experience and ability.
Experienced refuse technicians and candidates with strong hydraulic/electrical diagnostic skills will be compensated accordingly.
