Full-Time | Permanent | $38.00–$48.00 per hour | Shop & Field Service

ELV Select Equipment is looking for an experienced Millwright / Heavy Equipment Service Technician to join our growing service team.

We sell, install, service, and support specialized equipment for the scrap metal, recycling, waste processing, and material handling industries, including equipment from SEDA Umwelttechnik, Terex Ecotec, Screenpod, and other leading manufacturers.

This isn’t a position where you’ll work on the same machine every day.

Our technicians work on everything from shredders, trommel screens, and conveyors to vehicle recycling systems, hydraulic systems, diesel engines, electrical controls, separation systems, and specialized material processing equipment.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys troubleshooting, takes ownership of their work, and wants the opportunity to become an expert on specialized industrial equipment.

As a Millwright / Heavy Equipment Service Technician, you’ll diagnose, repair, maintain, install, and commission equipment both in our shop and at customer locations.

• Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and operational equipment problems
• Troubleshoot hydraulic pumps, motors, cylinders, valves, and hoses
• Diagnose and repair bearings, shafts, pulleys, gearboxes, and drive systems
• Repair and adjust conveyors, screening systems, and material processing equipment
• Troubleshoot diesel engines and related systems
• Diagnose electrical faults, sensors, motors, switches, and control components
• Read and interpret hydraulic and electrical schematics
• Perform preventative maintenance and equipment inspections
• Complete mechanical repairs and component replacement
• Perform equipment alignment and adjustment
• Complete welding and fabrication when required
• Assist with new equipment installations
• Commission, test, and troubleshoot new machinery
• Work directly with manufacturer technical support when required
• Provide customer equipment support and operator training
• Identify developing equipment problems and recommend preventative repairs
• Complete accurate service reports, technician notes, photos, and documentation

This is a shop and field service position.

You will regularly work directly with customers at facilities such as scrap yards, recycling facilities, waste processing facilities, manufacturing plants, and other heavy industrial environments.

We’re interested in candidates with backgrounds such as:

• Construction Millwright
• Heavy Equipment Technician
• Industrial Maintenance Technician

• Hydraulic systems
• Industrial electrical systems
• Bearings and gearboxes
• Electric motors
• Pumps and hydraulic cylinders
• Mechanical power transmission
• Welding and fabrication
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Hydraulic and electrical schematics
• PLC-controlled machinery

Experience working with recycling equipment, crushers, screeners, aggregate equipment, material handling equipment, forestry equipment, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, or other heavy industrial machinery is considered an asset.

We don’t expect you to walk in already knowing every machine we sell.

Previous experience with SEDA, Terex Ecotec, or Screenpod equipment is not required.
