Vehicle Fleet & Small Engine Mechanic

Naturescape of Lombard, IL is seeking to hire a Vehicle Fleet & Small Engine Mechanic to maintain and repair our fleet of vehicles and a wide assortment of small‑engine equipment. If you are looking for a career with a stable, family‑owned business and want to be a valued and respected member of a close‑knit team, look no further!

• Starting at $56,160 with salaried overtime
• 401(k) with 200% company match up to 6%, vested immediately
• Generous benefits: health, dental, vision and supplemental insurance; HRA and HSA; up to 3 weeks PTO and holidays in the first year; employee discounts
• Typical annual raises and yearly bonuses
• Company vehicle for travel between work and home

As a Vehicle Fleet & Small Engine Mechanic, you are the go‑to expert for maintaining and repairing a variety of small engines and fleet vehicles—from mowers to vans and pickup trucks. Your days are varied, and some days you may:

• Diagnose and troubleshoot engine issues
• Repair and fine‑tune brakes, timing, and other systems
• Restore worn‑out machines to working condition
• Complete routine maintenance on the vehicles and equipment
• Conduct annual vehicle inspections to identify and correct non‑compliant conditions

Every day you solve problems, deliver quality work with pride, and grow your mechanical knowledge and skill set. You will be a resource for others by offering guidance and teaching employees how to care for and operate equipment properly. Your ability to share knowledge positively and effectively helps build confidence and keeps our teams running smoothly.

This is not a shop‑bound position. You will be out in the field, traveling regionally in a company‑provided vehicle to visit different branches. You will communicate with the local management team before, during, and after each visit. You are trusted to manage your schedule and represent our company with professionalism and positivity. You’ll support growing locations and see the direct impact of your work in a hands‑on, fast‑paced environment.

• Valid driver’s license and good driving record
• Basic understanding of automotive and small engine mechanics (brakes, engines, and diagnostics)
• Must have a standard set of tools
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Motivated, with a desire to learn
