TOPCAT Well Services is a growing East Texas oilfield services company operating workover rigs and well service equipment across the region.

You'll work out of our Longview shop with field calls to well-site locations, maintaining and repairing workover rigs, rig carriers, and support equipment. If you know your way around diesel engines, hydraulics, and rig iron, we want to talk to you.

•
Diagnose and repair diesel engines, transmissions, drivetrains, brakes, and hydraulic, air, and electrical systems.
•
Troubleshoot rig components including drawworks, drum brakes, catheads, and rod and tubing equipment.
•
Respond to breakdown calls in the field and get equipment safely back in service.
•
Perform and document DOT-required inspections and maintenance on rig carriers and commercial vehicles.
•
Keep accurate maintenance records and help manage shop parts inventory.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
•
3+ years of diesel or heavy equipment mechanic experience — oilfield or well service rig experience strongly preferred.
•
Solid working knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulics, air systems, and 12/24-volt electrical.
•
Ability to drive a standard (manual) transmission.
•
Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record; Class A or B CDL a plus (or willingness to obtain).

Basic welding and cutting-torch skills a plus.

Own basic hand tools (we furnish specialty tools).

High school diploma or GED preferred.
WHAT WE OFFER
•
Competitive hourly pay based on experience, with overtime opportunities.
•
Group health insurance and supplemental benefit options.
•
Company-provided PPE and FR clothing at no cost to you.

Specialty tools furnished by the Company.

Steady, year-round work with an established, growing multi-entity operation.
