Heavy Equipment and Power Systems Service in Washington

Heavy equipment mechanic jobs focus on diesel-powered equipment used in construction and infrastructure development. You'll diagnose problems, perform repairs, and complete preventive maintenance on bulldozers, excavators, loaders, and graders. This work requires strong mechanical skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex systems. Technicians travel to jobsites ranging from Vancouver to rural areas, keeping equipment operational and projects on schedule.

Power generation technician careers center on different types of equipment, but are equally critical. These specialists maintain Cat engines, generators, and related accessories that provide backup electricity for sites like:

  • Hospitals
