Position Overview

We are looking for a reliable, experienced mechanic who takes pride in keeping equipment running safely and efficiently. This is a mechanic role only — you will not be expected to perform ranch hand duties.

Key Responsibilities

  • Diagnose, repair, and maintain a wide variety of Ford vehicles and trucks.
  • Service and repair a broad range of Caterpillar heavy equipment, including D6, D8N, D8K, D5, 627A, 627B, 980H, 980G, 16G, 420F2IT, 319, and other models.
  • Work on Big Bud tractors and general ranch equipment (tractors, balers, swathers, and more).
  • Service our very wide fleet of vehicles and support equipment.
  • Perform fabrication and welding work as needed.
  • Conduct preventive maintenance and troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
  • Keep the shop clean, organized, and safe.
  • Fabrication experience is highly preferred.


Qualifications

  • Proven mechanical experience with light-duty vehicles (Ford preferred) and heavy equipment (Caterpillar experience preferred).
  • Strong diagnostic and repair skills.
  • Welding and fabrication experience preferred.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Physical ability to work in a shop and outdoor environments.

What We Offer

  • Competitive pay – DOE (Depends on Experience)
  • Brand-new, state-of-the-art 8,000 sq ft shop (built 4 years ago) with in-floor heat for year-round comfort.
  • Fully equipped shop with welders, lathe, drill press, and a wide range of tools and equipment — all provided.
  • Health insurance available for employees committed longer than 3 months.
  • Housing available (depending on applicant’s family size).
  • Stable, year-round full-time position in a beautiful part of Montana.

If you are a professional mechanic who enjoys working with a diverse mix of vehicles and heavy equipment in a well-equipped facility, we encourage you to apply.
