Join The Forklift Pro as a Material Handling Equipment Technician

Picture your week: You work Monday through Friday, with the flexibility to put in overtime when needed. You start your day reviewing work orders, lining up parts, and prioritizing service calls. By mid-morning, you’re deep into diagnostics—isolating issues on LP, diesel, and electric lift trucks, then mapping out the repair path. Afternoons might find you performing preventive maintenance (PM) services, tidying and organizing the shop for peak efficiency, touching up cosmetic repairs, and documenting your work thoroughly. Throughout the day, your Service Manager may assign additional tasks that keep the operation running smoothly. You wrap up by closing out work orders, updating notes on parts and labor, and setting yourself up for a strong tomorrow.

  • Diagnose and repair a variety of LP, diesel, and electric-powered lift trucks and other industrial equipment.
  • Perform scheduled PM services to keep fleets reliable and compliant.
  • Handle cosmetic repairs and ensure equipment looks as good as it runs.
  • Keep the shop organized and clean to maintain a safe, efficient workspace.
  • Complete additional tasks as assigned by the Service Manager.

What You Bring

  • Hands-on experience troubleshooting and repairing LP, diesel, and electric equipment or vehicles.
  • Working knowledge of hydraulics and electrical systems; ability to read wire schematics is preferred.
  • Ability to read and understand work orders; solid written and verbal communication.
  • Basic computer literacy for documentation and parts lookups.
  • Experience operating lift trucks and related industrial equipment.
  • Sound reasoning skills and the self-direction to work effectively without close supervision.

Must-Haves

  • Your own professional tool set.
  • Steel-toe safety shoes.
  • A valid driver’s license (required for consideration).

Proficiencies We Value

  • Mechanical troubleshooting
  • General service and maintenance procedures
  • Lift truck repair and upkeep
