If you’re a technician who can work independently, troubleshoot complex issues in the field, and take ownership of customer outcomes—this role will feel like a natural fit.

At American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO), we’re looking for experienced Crane & Hoist Technicians who can operate in real-world environments where safety, uptime, and technical execution matter.

This is not a shop role sitting under constant supervision. This is field service work where you are trusted to diagnose problems, make decisions, and represent ACECO directly with customers.
