Looking for a true mechanical role-not general maintenance or oil changes? Join a well-established hydraulic repair shop and build a long-term career specializing in hydraulic cylinder teardown, measurement, repair, and rebuild.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys precision work, is comfortable with math and measurements, and wants to become highly skilled in hydraulic systems used in logging and heavy industrial equipment.

• Rebuilding valves, pumps, motors, rotary manifolds, and hydraulic grapples
• Measuring components accurately and converting measurements to decimals
• Inspecting hydraulic lines and components for wear, leaks, and damage
• Troubleshooting hydraulic and pneumatic systems and performing preventative maintenance
• Removing and replacing seals, rods, barrels, and worn components
• Assisting with pump and valve testing on test benches (training provided)
• Following oil containment, cleanup, and shop safety procedures
• Maintaining a clean, organized, and professional work environment

What You'll Bring
The ideal candidate for this role will have:

• Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on repair experience
• Comfort with math, measurements, and precision work
• Working knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Confidence using hand tools, pneumatic tools, and measuring devices
• Ability to read a tape measure and convert measurements to decimals accurately
• Ability to lift and maneuver 40-50 lbs consistently
• Own basic hand tools (hammer, screwdrivers, socket set, etc.)
• Reliability, attention to detail, and willingness to learn
• No certifications required - experience and aptitude matter more than paperwork

Why Join Us?

• Specialized skill-building in hydraulic cylinder repair
• Stable, long-term opportunity with a shop operating since 1985
• Day shift, Monday-Friday schedule - no weekends
• Hands-on work where accuracy and skill are valued
• Referral Bonus: Earn $100 when your referral works 160 hours
• Affordable health and prescription coverage after 30 days
• Retirement plan available upon permanent hire
