This full-time role sits within a long-standing, professional service group that values practical problem solving and hands-on know-how. If you’re a self-starter who enjoys fixing heavy machinery and helping customers, this could be a solid fit.
The company emphasizes a customer-first approach, with a strong track record as a Caterpillar dealership.

Hands-on diagnostics and repair in the shop
In this role you’ll diagnose and repair equipment largely on your own, drawing on hands-on experience with heavy machinery. You’ll work with a variety of earthmoving and construction machines, applying knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulics, and electronics to locate issues and implement fixes. Welding is part of the toolkit, and intermediate computer skills support the diagnostic and documentation process. Clear written and verbal communication helps you keep customers informed and ensures work is properly captured in service records.
Day-to-day work blends technical troubleshooting with customer interaction. You’ll identify root causes, replace or repair components, and verify performance after service. The work requires a pragmatic approach to safety and quality, along with the ability to explain complex problems in straightforward terms so customers understand what’s been done and why it matters.
What you need to bring to the toolbox
You’ll be evaluated on a baseline of hands-on capability and relevant experience. The must-haves include a demonstrated capacity to diagnose and repair equipment independently, prior work on heavy equipment, and solid knowledge across diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and electronic controls. Welding experience and comfortable use of a computer to document work are important, as are strong written and verbal communication skills. The physical side of the job includes lifting up to 50 pounds and enduring an industrial environment with its noise and temperature variations.

Advice for applicants
Lead with your hands-on strengths in your resume.

Keep it grounded in specifics you can prove, such as the types of machines you’ve serviced and the kinds of repairs you’ve performed.
Back up the must-haves with concrete examples. In your experience section, include a short story about diagnosing a stubborn machine, the steps you took to pinpoint the issue, the parts you replaced, and the outcome for uptime or customer satisfaction. If you’ve used particular diagnostic tools or software, name them and describe how they helped you work efficiently.
Prepare for interviews by sharing customer-facing scenarios. Be ready to discuss how you explained issues and solutions to customers, how you prioritized safety and quality during repairs, and a time when your communication helped prevent a miscommunication or downtime.
Ask a smart question to close the conversation. Inquire about advancement opportunities across the Cleveland Brothers network of 29 locations and whether there are specific training or cross-location programs you could tap into to broaden your skill set.
