Shop Assistant

Our valued clients expect prompt, consistent and high-quality service from us. Our crews cannot perform maintenance and installation work on their properties without properly functioning and safe equipment. As we have grown over the past three decades, we have acquired a large fleet of various types of mowers, heavy equipment, 1-ton dump trucks, assorted trucks, vans, cars, trailers, flatbeds, power equipment, hand tools, etc.

Our success in the field is directly dependent on the efforts and applied skills of our Fleet and Facilities Management team.

What Do You Need to be a Fleet and Facilities Manager or Shop Assistant?

We are looking for a self-motivated and reliable team member who is eager to grow with us. Our facility includes a three-bay heated garage with an increasing fleet of vehicles, small construction equipment, and various gas and battery-operated landscape equipment.

Individual responsibilities will be determined based on skill set. However, we are a team, and all team members may be required to assist with other tasks as needed and all employees are expected to carry out the company’s mission, vision, and values. This position is intended to be a full-time, year-round role. However, for the right candidate, there may be an opportunity for a part-time role as well.

Ideal candidate must work well with others, have a “team first” personality, and be able to complete a wide range of the duties listed below. Responsibilities can change daily based on routine maintenance schedules, time‑sensitive repairs, significant weather events, or specialized projects.

• Perform regularly scheduled preventative maintenance of vehicles and equipment.
• Keep accurate records in our specialized software for proper tracking.
• Repairs to small engine equipment, including mowers, blowers, trimmers, skid steers, etc.
• Ensure proper safety guidelines and regulations are continuously followed and all vehicles are DOT compliant.
• Routine maintenance and repairs around the facility.
• Maintain a clean and organized shop and yard.
• Must be responsive and flexible to equipment issues or breakdowns the field crews may encounter.
• Check shop fuel tanks daily and refill when needed.
• Snowplow operation, maintenance and repair experience a plus.
• Must be able to work odd hours and in adverse conditions when crews are out completing snow removal.
• Schedule may require evening work to complete repairs when equipment and vehicles are not being used.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

A valid state‑issued driver’s license, the ability to legally work in the U.S., and be 18+ years of age are mandatory.

• Valid drivers license and acceptable driving record to meet our insurance requirements.
• Expert knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems used in the maintenance and repair of above listed vehicles and equipment.
• Proficient in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
• Prior experience using industry‑specific customer management software (knowledge of Aspire CRM a strong plus).
• Green industry experience preferred.

While a majority of work will be inside our three-bay shop, it really helps to appreciate the outdoors as you may be tasked with assisting crews during all weather conditions if needed. You may also be called to supplement our field workers with their tasks depending on demands and workload.

Attention to detail, positive attitude, willingness to learn, and the ability to make on‑the‑fly decisions regarding the safety of yourself, your team, client property, and equipment during daily tasks is critical. Additional state‑issued licenses and certifications may be required depending on the types of equipment and/or vehicles that enter our fleet.

Significant experience with diesel, two and four‑stroke gasoline engines (from small to large) is necessary to be considered for Fleet and Facilities Manager. You should also be well‑versed with tire repairs, replacement, balancing procedures, and be able to plan and implement appropriate regular maintenance schedules in conjunction with other shop employees. Welding and metal fabrication skill is important as we prefer to complete the majority of work “in‑house”.
