Build Your Career With State Tractor & Equipment

State Tractor & Equipment Co. is looking for a Medium- and Heavy-Duty Truck Mechanic to join our team in Kansas City, KS.

We work on a variety of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and equipment, and we are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career in the diesel and truck repair industry.

Experienced technicians are welcome, but you do not have to be a seasoned mechanic to join our team. If you are a young technician with mechanical ability, a strong work ethic, and a desire to learn, we are willing to train and develop you into a skilled medium- and heavy-duty truck mechanic.

We believe good technicians are developed through hands-on experience, training, and working alongside experienced people.

Your day-to-day work will focus primarily on general maintenance and repair of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, including:

• Clutch replacement and repair
• Steering and suspension repairs

• Maintaining accurate service and repair records
• Keeping your work area, tools, and equipment clean and organized

This is a hands-on shop position. You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of trucks and learn how different systems work.

Willing to Train the Right Person

Don't have years of experience? That's okay.

We're looking for people with the right attitude, mechanical aptitude, work ethic, and desire to learn.

If you're a recent trade-school graduate, an entry-level technician, or someone who has been working on vehicles or equipment and wants to move into medium- and heavy-duty trucks, we will consider training you.

You will work alongside experienced technicians and learn through hands-on experience. As your skills and ability increase, so will your responsibilities and earning potential.
