Heavy Equipment Mechanic

South Central Equipment — Heavy Equipment / Diesel Mechanic

South Central Equipment is looking for a highly experienced diesel / heavy equipment mechanic to join our crew. This is a hands-on, production shop role for someone who takes pride in their work, shows up ready to get after it, and can be trusted to handle complex repairs with minimal supervision.

We operate a busy shop environment where reliability, efficiency, and craftsmanship matter. The right candidate will be self-motivated, accountable, and capable of keeping equipment moving safely and on schedule—even when working independently.

• Proven ability to rebuild engines, transmissions, and major components (component-level work; not limited to basic R&R)
• Ability to work independently with very little supervision
• Strong work ethic and commitment to completing jobs on schedule
• High degree of reliability, professionalism, and accountability
• Clean driving record
• Must have own tools

Preferred (But Not Required):

• CDL
• Welding and fabrication skills
• Ability to operate heavy equipment
• Mining or remote operations experience

Work Environment

This is a production shop, and we take pride in keeping equipment running safely and efficiently. We’re looking for someone who is focused, capable, and motivated—someone who enjoys the work and takes ownership of the results.

If you’re the type of mechanic who:

• Solves problems without being asked twice
• Shows up on time and ready to work
• Takes pride in doing the job right the first time
• And wants to be part of a team that values skill and dependability

—you’ll fit right in here.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive pay based on experience and qualifications
• Healthcare and retirement stipends available
• Full-time position with steady workload
