Heavy Equipment Maintenance & Hydraulics Technician

Heavy Equipment Maintenance & Hydraulics Technician

Imagine starting your day walking the shop floor, checking a dashboard of active work orders, and prioritizing a hydraulic leak on a material handler before moving on to a scheduled PM for an overhead crane. You confer with operators, pull up service manuals, and dive into diagnostics—troubleshooting wiring issues, inspecting brake and suspension systems, and documenting each repair with precision. That’s a typical day here at CMC.
