Mobile Crane Technician

The Blue Collar Recruiter of Marietta•Olathe, KS

2d•Onsite

About The Position

This role rewards technicians who know their stuff. Every quarter, you can earn a Technician Efficiency Bonus based on how efficiently you complete your work, so the better you are, the more you take home. On top of that, overtime starts after 8 hours in a day, not after 40 hours in a week. Every long service call and extended job site day pays more, and with field techs working anywhere from 40 to 80 hours a week, the overtime adds up fast. Strong techs who put in the work can push their earnings well beyond base pay. As a Mobile Crane Field Technician based out of Olathe, you’ll inspect, diagnose, repair and maintain a wide range of crane equipment at customer sites across the Kansas City area and the surrounding region. You’ll work on All Terrain, Rough Terrain and Crawler Cranes, Boom Trucks, Knuckle Booms and Bucket Trucks.
