Diesel Technicians (Mechanic) - Compact Equipment Repairs

Know your way around a skid steer, mini excavator, telehandler, or similar equipment? Maybe you’re not actively looking for a new job. But you’d consider making a move for the right shop, the right team, and the right opportunity.

At Leppo Rents, we’re hiring Technicians at multiple skill levels to help keep our rental fleet and customer equipment running strong. If you enjoy diagnosing problems, figuring out the fix, and getting equipment back to work, you’ll fit right in.

We’re looking for technicians who take pride in their work, think through problems, and want to be part of a team that trusts them to do the job right.

If you want a place where technicians are respected, supported, and given opportunities to keep growing, we’d like to talk.

What’s in it for you

• $20–$35+/hour, based on your skills and experience
• Bi-annual tool allowance
• Quarterly and annual performance bonuses
• Paid technical training and development
• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability Insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid Holidays and PTO
• Floating Holiday, Parental Leave, and Community Time Off
• Company-paid apparel allowance
• Milestone anniversary gifts
• Opportunities to grow your skills and career with Leppo

What you’ll work on

You’ll troubleshoot, repair, and maintain compact construction equipment such as:

• Skid steers
• Compact track loaders
• Mini excavators
• Telehandlers
• And other rental and construction equipment

Your work may include diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, mechanical systems, preventive maintenance, and computer-based diagnostics.

What you’ll do

• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and diesel-related problems
• Perform repairs that get equipment safely back to work
• Complete preventive maintenance and routine service
• Use diagnostic software and tools to troubleshoot equipment
• Inspect equipment and identify issues before they become bigger problems
• Maintain accurate work orders and repair records
• Help keep our rental fleet in ready-to-work condition
• Work closely with Parts, Service, Rental, and Sales
• Share your knowledge and help teammates when needed

What we’re looking for

We’re interested in technicians at different stages of their careers, so don’t rule yourself out just because you don’t check every box.

You’ll likely be successful here if you:

• Have experience repairing diesel, construction, agricultural, automotive, truck, or similar equipment
• Are comfortable troubleshooting rather than simply replacing parts
• Understand the basics of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems
• Can work independently and know when to ask for help
• Take pride in doing thorough, quality work
• Keep safety and the customer in mind
• Work well with other technicians and departments
• Want to continue learning and developing your technical skills

Compact construction equipment experience is a plus, but we’re also interested in strong technicians from adjacent industries.

Coming from another type of shop?

Your experience may transfer better than you think. We’d like to hear from technicians with backgrounds in:

• Heavy equipment
• Construction equipment
• Agricultural equipment
• Diesel truck repair
• Automotive repair
• Forklift or material handling equipment
• Fleet maintenance
• Industrial equipment
• Military equipment maintenance

If you know how to diagnose equipment, solve mechanical problems, and aren’t afraid to learn a new machine, we can teach you the Leppo side of the business.
