About The Position

Tejas Equipment Rentals is hiring an experienced, journey-level Vehicle & Equipment Mechanic II at our San Benito branch. This isn't an entry-level seat - you'll be diagnosing, repairing, and overhauling everything from skid steers, excavators, and aerial lifts to our class 8 trucks, service trucks, and trailers. Gas and diesel, shop and field, engines to hydraulics. We're a family-owned, Texas-based company, and our mechanics are the reason our fleet earns its reputation. If you take pride in fixing it right the first time - and helping the next tech learn how - keep reading.

Requirements

Journey-level experience diagnosing, maintaining, and overhauling engines, power transmission systems, and hydraulics on trucks, construction machinery, and equipment
Ability to work independently with sound judgment - assignments come in general terms, and you run with them
Comfort working in shop and field environments in all weather conditions
Ability to frequently lift and carry up to 90 pounds and work in tight or awkward positions
Valid Texas driver's license and a clean driving record

Nice To Haves

Mentoring Others - You're the tech the newer guys come to with the tough diagnosis. You share what you know and make the whole shop better.
Growth Oriented - Journey level isn't the finish line. New equipment lines, new diagnostic tools, new certifications - we'll invest in your training if you bring the drive.
Get 'Er Done Attitude - A customer with a dead machine doesn't want excuses. You find the problem, fix it right, and get them back on schedule.
Team Tejas - The shop, the counter, dispatch, and sales all win together. You work your priorities with the branch team and back each other up.
