What are the responsibilities and job description for the Forklift Hydraulics & Electrical Service Specialist position at The Forklift Pro?
Keep Industry Moving as a Forklift Hydraulics & Electrical Service Specialist
When a sit-down Hyster stops lifting or a Crown reach truck throws an electrical fault, you’re the person everyone looks to. At The Forklift Pro, you’ll turn complex problems into working machines—Monday through Friday—with occasional overtime to support customer needs.
Mission
Restore reliability across LP, diesel, and electric lift trucks and industrial equipment through expert troubleshooting, timely PM service, and meticulous repairs—while maintaining a safe, organized shop.
Core responsibilities
Picture a Crown stand-up counterbalance arriving with a hydraulic drift complaint. You review the work order, confirm the symptom, isolate a faulty valve, perform the repair, document the job on the computer, and return a reliable truck to service. If that’s your kind of win, we want you on our team.
