About The Position

ALMACO is currently seeking a Equipment Mechanic to work from our central
service shop located in Nevada, IA and travel during peak service times. Peak
travel times for the Equipment Mechanic are in the Spring, during planting and
in the Fall during harvest. Service Technicians work on a team to complete
preventative maintenance, repairs, and modifications of ALMACO combines and
planters.

You are an energetic person who is interested in traveling. You want to work
independently with flexible hours and you provide support at the highest level.
You like to be out and about for work, not sitting in an office, and you enjoy
solving mechanical puzzles, taking things apart, and putting them back together.
You like to talk to people, and you like it better when you can improve their
day. You've got great mechanical skills and a good understanding of electrical,
computer, and hydraulic systems. You're not averse to travel - in this job you
would be traveling for several days at a time throughout the US.

We offer a free health insurance option for employees!
We offer flexible schedules so you can take care of the things that matter.
In addition, PTO starts accruing on day one.
We're a family-owned company, and the owners know you by name and care about
you as a person.
