Join CTOS as a Mobile Expert in Utility Fleet Repair

Sun up on the Gulf Coast. Your phone buzzes with a dispatch to a customer yard where a bucket truck is sidelined with a hydraulic leak. You arrive in your fully equipped service truck — crane, welder, and compressor on board — and get to work. A quick diagnosis, a hose swap, and you’re on to DOT and dielectric checks before rolling to the next site. That’s a day in the life of a Field Service Mechanic at Custom Truck One Source (CTOS).

CTOS is a 30 year industry leader with 40 locations, 2,600 employees, and a 10,000 unit fleet providing specialized support to utility, telecom, rail, and construction customers.

  • Work across diesel, hydraulic, and electrical systems to troubleshoot issues and perform repairs.
  • Conduct inspections and testing on CTOS rental and customer equipment, including DOT inspections and dielectric testing.
  • Handle parts replacement, preventative maintenance, and complex field repairs with independence and precision.

Where You’ll Work

  • Coverage: Louisiana, Mississippi, East Texas, and Western Alabama.
  • Overnight travel required; frequent assignments along the Gulf Coast serving oil, gas, and utility projects.

What We Provide

  • A fully outfitted service truck (crane, welder, compressor).
  • Competitive pay with overtime opportunities.
  • Full benefits, 401(k) match, PTO, a tool program, and more.

What You Bring

  • 7 years of combined shop and field experience.
  • Hands-on skill with mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems.
  • Background with utility, construction (yellow iron), or heavy equipment (CAT, Deere, Komatsu) and medium/heavy-duty trucks.
  • Self-sufficient, organized, and team-oriented; comfortable working independently in the field.
  • Valid driver’s license required; CDL Class B is a plus. Personal tools required.
