Your day might begin with a safety meeting, followed by travel to a nearby job site where a skid steer is experiencing hydraulic issues. You’ll assess the equipment, troubleshoot using your diagnostic tools, and perform necessary repairs on-site. Later, you might lead a team member through an equipment inspection checklist, weld a damaged bucket, or communicate an urgent repair update to your supervisor.
Throughout the day, you'll balance repair work with equipment monitoring, preventive maintenance, and ensuring safety protocols are followed. You’re not just turning wrenches—you’re a go-to leader helping your team stay productive and safe in the field.
