Construction Lead Mechanic

$40.00 to $48.00 per hour, $5000 Sign-On Bonus, Four 10-hour days, Overtime available

Goodmanson Construction is a growing concrete, asphalt, excavation, and site work contractor with an expanding fleet. We are hiring a Lead Mechanic to conduct maintenance and repairs across our automobiles, dump trucks, trailers, construction equipment, and snow removal equipment. You will combine hands-on diagnostic repair work with technical leadership in the shop, mentoring less experienced technicians and keeping the fleet field ready year round.

Our fleet is growing, and that means this role is more than keeping equipment running.
