Job description
Location: Fargo, ND
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8AM–5PM (theoretically)
Pay: $20–$34/hr DOE + s ign on bonus from $2500 up to $5000 DOE (because we know tools aren’t cheap and therapy isn’t covered)
Fargo Trailer Center (a proud subsidiary of Wallwork Inc.) is on the hunt for a Trailer Technician who enjoys fixing things that other people have aggressively broken.
We pride ourselves on being dependable, hardworking, and occasionally wondering who routed those wires like that and why .
If you enjoy:
Mechanical puzzles created by strangers
The smell of grease and welding sparks
Solving problems that start with “this shouldn’t have been possible”
…then congratulations. You may have found your people.
What You’ll Actually Do
You will heroically battle trailers that have: Seen things
Been through things
And probably shouldn’t still be on the road
Daily adventures include: Diagnosing trailer issues ranging from minor inconveniences to how-is-this-even-moving
Repairing air brakes, electrical systems, suspension components, and whatever else is hanging on by hope
Welding and fabrication when things are beyond the point of polite repair
Hunting down loose wires, questionable repairs, and mechanical crimes committed by previous technicians
Communicating with the parts department when you discover that the part you need no longer exists on Earth
Documenting repairs so future technicians know what heroic acts occurred here
You’ll work independently sometimes, and with a team when multiple people are required to stare at something and say:
“Well… that’s not supposed to look like that.”
Minimum Qualifications
To survive this position you will need: High school diploma or GED (or the mechanical wisdom equivalent)
Valid driver’s license with a driving record that doesn’t make insurance companies faint
Mechanical aptitude and a general respect for physics
Ability to pass a background check, drug screen, and motor vehicle report
Your own tools and toolbox (because every great mechanic knows their tools better than their family)
Bonus Skills That Make Us Impressed
If you have these, we’ll assume you’ve seen some things: Mechanical trade school OR 2+ years of trailer technician experience
Welding and fabrication skills
Familiarity with:
Air brakes
Trailer inspections
Electrical systems
Suspension components
Wheel ends & hubs
Hydraulic systems
Bodywork
Frame repair
And identifying whatever the previous owner tried to “fix themselves”
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Prepare yourself for noble tasks such as: Diagnosing problems and recommending repairs
Performing repairs efficiently and accurately (because gravity and highways are unforgiving)
Inspecting trailers for loose wires, damaged components, and mysterious engineering decisions
Consulting with the Shop Foreman when a repair becomes a full-blown mechanical saga
Removing parts to access the problem area, discovering three additional problems
Documenting everything you fixed and everything that tried to fight back
Keeping the shop clean enough that OSHA doesn’t show up with questions
Protecting customers’ trailers from additional chaos
Supervision
You will supervise exactly zero people .
However, you may occasionally supervise a confused trailer that refuses to cooperate.
Benefits (The Real Ones)
We actually offer real benefits, not just pizza: Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
Health Savings Account
Employer-Paid Life Insurance & Long-Term Disability
401(k) & Profit Sharing
Voluntary Benefits
Flexible Spending Accounts
Paid Time Off
Employee Assistance Program
Employee Discounts
Special Events
Final Notes
Wallwork Inc. and its subsidiaries are a drug-free workplace and equal opportunity employer .
Mostly we just want someone who: Can fix trailers
Has common sense
And doesn’t panic when a repair turns into an archaeological dig of bad decisions .
If you can diagnose problems, weld metal, and keep trailers from falling apart on the highway…
We should probably talk.
