Original job description
Fleet Mechanic (310T or 421A) – Carleton Place, ON
Day or Afternoon Shift | Solid Pay | Steady Work | Good Crew
If you’re the kind of mechanic who can figure things out without someone standing over your shoulder - and you take pride in keeping iron moving - we want to talk.
We’ve got a busy, well-established construction outfit just outside Ottawa with a strong fleet of trucks and heavy equipment that needs a reliable hand. This isn’t a “sit around and wait” shop. There’s steady work, a good group in the shop, and management that actually understands what it takes to keep equipment running.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Mix of heavy trucks + off-road construction equipment
- Everything from PMs and inspections to major component work
- Diagnosing issues using modern diagnostic tools + old-school know-how
- Tearing down and rebuilding components when needed
- Keeping equipment safe, reliable, and job-site ready
Day-to-Day
- Diagnose and troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues
- Handle repairs big and small (engines, hydraulics, driveline, etc.)
- Perform preventative maintenance and inspections
- Test equipment after repairs to make sure it’s right
- Keep track of work completed (nothing fancy, just accurate)
- Help out junior guys when needed - no ego, just teamwork
What You Bring
- 310T Truck & Coach OR 421A Heavy Equipment Tech (Red Seal preferred)
- Strong diagnostic skills - you can chase down a problem and fix it properly
- Comfortable doing major repairs, not just parts swapping
- Your own tools
- Valid driver’s license (clean abstract)
Bonus Points If You’ve Got
- Welding or fabrication skills
- Experience with construction fleets
- Familiarity with OEM diagnostic software
Shifts Available
- Day Shift: Monday–Friday
- Afternoon Shift: Monday–Friday, 2:00 PM – 12:00 AM
- Whether you’re an early riser or prefer working later, there’s flexibility here.
Pay & Perks
- $40–$50/hr depending on license and experience
- Benefits, pension, and wellness programs
- Steady, year-round work (no seasonal layoffs)
- Opportunities to move up or specialize
- A shop that values safety, common sense, and a solid day’s work
Why This Job?
- You’re not a number here - good techs are respected
- Equipment is worth fixing (not junk held together with hope)
- Management actually listens
- You’ll work with a crew that pulls their weight
If you’re tired of bouncing around shops or dealing with chaos and want something stable with a good team - this is worth a look.
