Crane Mechanic – Crawler & Marine Equipment (Shop-Based)

We support employers in the heavy equipment and crane sectors who need experienced mechanics to keep their fleet reliable, safe, and ready for mobilization. This role is a shop-based crane mechanic position focused on crawler cranes, marine-influenced electrical systems, and general crane support. It's ideal for someone with strong mechanical instincts who takes pride in thorough inspections, quality repairs, and on-time project readiness.

This is a high-priority role with steady work, no climbing, and equipment laid flat in the shop for maintenance. Occasional field calls may occur when a unit is down, but the majority of the work is performed in the shop.

What You'll Do

• Inspect crawler cranes, hoists, and related equipment to diagnose malfunctions or verify job-site readiness

• Perform mechanical and electrical repairs on cranes, marine equipment, and support systems

• Conduct scheduled services (500-hr, 1000-hr, 2000-hr) and general maintenance on diesel, gas, hydraulic, and electrical systems

• Repair and maintain components such as enclosures, dashboards, electrical panels, control systems, and attachments

• Use meters, diagnostic tools, and shop equipment to troubleshoot issues and confirm repairs

• Prep cranes and equipment for upcoming projects, ensuring deadlines for mobilization are met

• Support Alimak hoists and tower cranes when crawler or marine work is not active

• Perform occasional field repairs to return equipment to service or assist in bringing it back to the shop

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment

• Document work performed using company systems and maintain accurate service records

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of experience in heavy equipment, crane, marine, or rental industry service

• Strong knowledge of diesel and gas engines, basic electrical troubleshooting, and hydraulics

• Ability to perform scheduled maintenance intervals (500-hr, 1000-hr, 2000-hr)

• Experience with crawler cranes or willingness to learn quickly

• Familiarity with marine systems (inboard/outboard motors) is a plus but not required

• Ability to learn increasingly complex mechanical and electrical systems

• Strong attention to safety, regulatory compliance, and proper repair procedures

• Solid communication skills and a team-first mindset

• High school diploma or equivalent

Compensation & Benefits

This role offers competitive compensation based on experience, along with excellent employer-provided benefits
