Work on quality equipment. No crazy shifts. Home every night.
Felix Construction is looking for an experienced Heavy Equipment Mechanic to help keep our fleet running strong. If you enjoy diagnosing problems, replacing major components, and seeing the results of your work every day, you'll fit right in.
Unlike many mechanic jobs, you'll work consistent Monday-Friday shop hours, no overnight travel, and no rotating shifts. You'll have a clean, temperature-controlled shop, modern bays, and a wide variety of equipment to work on.
Most importantly, you'll become an employee-owner through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which means when the company succeeds, you share in that success.

- Assist with hydraulic system repairs and component replacement
- Assist with engine and transmission repairs and overhauls
- Test equipment after repairs to verify proper operation
- Complete equipment inspection reports and repair documentation
- Order replacement parts as needed
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
- Follow all company safety procedures and OSHA requirements
Who You Are
We're looking for someone who:
- Has 3-5 years of experience working as a heavy equipment or heavy-duty truck mechanic
- Is comfortable performing heavy line mechanical work and major parts replacement
- Can follow direction from senior mechanics or supervisors and complete repairs with minimal supervision
- Takes ownership of assigned work and sees it through to completion
- Enjoys being a hands-on mechanic rather than managing others
- Works safely and takes pride in quality workmanship
- Experience repairing heavy construction equipment, heavy trucks, or similar equipment
- Strong mechanical aptitude
- Valid driver's license with a good driving record
- CDL preferred, but not required
- High school diploma or GED preferred
