Job description

Description

About the Role

Atlantic Lift Systems is hiring a Senior Heavy Equipment Rental Technician to maintain and repair our rental fleet of forklifts, aerial lifts, and related construction equipment. This is a rental-focused role-you'll be the person who keeps our fleet ready to roll, turning around returned units quickly, performing pre-delivery inspections, and handling complex diagnostic work that less experienced techs can't. If you've worked in a heavy equipment rental shop and you enjoy variety, fast turnarounds, and owning the tough jobs, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

Inspect, diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair our rental fleet, including:

? Articulating boom lifts (diesel and electric)

? Towable boom lifts

? Scissor lifts

? Forklifts

? Earth moving equipment

? Compaction equipment

? Generators

? Other related construction equipment

Perform pre-delivery inspections and annual ANSI/OSHA compliance inspections to keep fleet units rental-ready.

Lead complex repair projects that require more than one technician, serving as the senior tech on the job.

Diagnose and repair Tier 4 diesel engines, high-pressure common rail fuel systems, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems (including DC electrical systems on battery-powered lifts).

Read and interpret electrical and hydraulic schematics, service manuals, and OEM specifications.

Assess parts needs, coordinate with the parts department, and keep multiple machines moving at once (you'll often have two or more units assigned).

Prepare parts lists and labor estimates for customer-owned equipment coming through the shop.

Document repairs, maintenance, and inspection records accurately and on time.

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.

Share knowledge with junior techs and help raise the whole team's game.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

5+ years of hands-on experience repairing aerial lifts, forklifts, or construction equipment in a heavy equipment rental environment.

Direct experience servicing articulating boom lifts, towable boom lifts, and scissor lifts-both diesel and electric.

Experience servicing earth moving equipment, compaction equipment, and generators.

JLG product knowledge is a plus (Genie, Skyjack, or similar OEM experience also valuable).

Strong working knowledge of Tier 4 engines and high-pressure common rail systems.

Proven ability to diagnose electrical and hydraulic systems independently, including battery/DC systems on electric lifts.

Comfortable reading electrical/hydraulic schematics and technical manuals.

Able to manage multiple repairs simultaneously without losing track.

Solid communication skills and basic computer skills for service tickets and documentation.

Own your hand tools (Atlantic Lift Systems provides brand-specific specialty tools).

Schedule & Pay

7:00 AM-4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. 

30-minute unpaid lunch, two 15-minute paid breaks.

Overtime paid for all hours over 40 per week.

$1,285-$1,685/week depending on experience.

Benefits

At Atlantic Lift Systems, we invest in our people. We offer a comprehensive benefits package covering health, financial security, and professional development, including industry-specific training and continuous learning opportunities to help you grow your career.
