About the Role

If you like turning wrenches, working with your hands, and seeing a finished machine roll off the line ready for a customer, this job was built for you. As a Setup Technician at our Bryan store, you will assemble and prep new Kubota tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, and light construction equipment, along with Land Pride implements and other attachments.

  • Safely and efficiently assemble and set up new equipment of various types, including tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, implements, and attachments
  • Complete pre-delivery inspections to confirm every unit meets Kubota and WCTractor quality standards
  • Install attachments and accessories such as loaders, canopies, and hitches
  • Perform fluid checks, battery installation, tire pressure adjustments, and final operational testing
  • Inspect, clean, and maintain shop tools and equipment
  • Report any faulty equipment or safety hazards to your supervisor
Qualifications

Minimum requirements for the Setup Technician position include:

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Mechanical aptitude; experience with hand and power tools, small engines, automotive work, ag equipment, or shop classes is a strong plus
  • Ability to read and follow assembly instructions and torque specifications
  • Comfortable lifting, bending, and working on your feet in a shop environment
  • Attention to detail and pride in quality work
  • Time management skills and the ability to work independently
  • Good communication and customer service skills

No dealership experience required. If you have a mechanical background and a strong work ethic, we will train you on the rest.
