Diesel Mechanic II

DIESEL MECHANIC II

Full-Time | Humboldt, KS

If you take pride in keeping heavy equipment running right, Monarch Cement wants to talk to you. We're looking for an experienced diesel mechanic to join the team that keeps our fleet — trucks, semi-trucks, locomotives, cranes, loaders, forklifts, and more — running safely and reliably. This isn't a one-trick shop: you'll work across a wide range of equipment, sharpen your skills daily, and be part of a crew that takes ownership of its work.

What You'll Do

● Diagnose, service, and repair internal combustion and diesel engines and their auxiliary systems — electrical, cooling, pneumatic, and hydraulic.

● Perform mechanical maintenance across a wide equipment fleet: trucks, semi-trucks, cranes, loaders, forklifts, pumps, and compressors.

● Use parts lists, manuals, and schematics to accurately diagnose issues and specify replacement parts.

● Keep clean, organized equipment logs and a well-maintained work area.

● Step in as an equipment operator when needed, and take on new challenges as they come up.

What You Bring

● 5+ years of verifiable, full-time experience as a diesel mechanic.

● Caterpillar repair certification from an accredited vocational/technical training program.

● Strong working knowledge of diesel and internal combustion engine theory and components.

● Comfort and skill with powered drills, grinders, hones, and specialty mechanic's tools.

● A valid CDL, or the willingness to obtain one quickly after joining the team.

● Your own set of mechanic's tools (a full list is provided) — most techs already have what's needed, and you'll have four weeks to round it out.

Why Monarch

● Steady, full-time work with an established, longstanding Kansas manufacturer.

● Real variety in your day — no two pieces of equipment are exactly alike.

● A shop culture that values safety, sound judgment, and doing the job right.

● Room to grow your skills and take on responsibility as you prove yourself.

If you're ready to bring your experience to a team that will put it to work, we'd love to hear from you.
