Forklift Service Technician

Job Summary

Southeast Industrial Equipment, Inc., one of the nation's largest Toyota™ forklift dealers, is seeking qualified Service Technicians to work on all types of forklifts and related material handling equipment. SIE Service Technicians have the responsibility to provide the best possible service, maintenance, diagnosis, and repair for customer and company equipment.

Auto and Diesel Mechanics new to the forklift-material handling industry will receive the cross-training needed to understand basic hydraulic and electrical requirements of material handling equipment. Product lines for both industries are very similar, so additional training needed to get started is typically minimal.

Our fulltime trainer teaches and coordinates hands-on and paid classroom training to help our Service Technicians earn Master Level Technician Certifications.

Responsibilities and Duties

Service Technicians will be traveling to and working in customer facilities, interacting, and communicating with the customers to keep their equipment operating safely and efficiently. Road Service Technicians require a good driving record. We also offer on-site service and repairs where technicians will not be required to travel.

Qualifications and Skills

The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years of mechanic experience or training, familiarity with LP and diesel, and is proficient with diagnosis and repair on engines and hydraulics. We also need technicians with electrical knowledge and experience.

Service Technicians need to be self-motivated, self-directed, highly responsible, and able to work both independently and as part of a team. Excellent communication skills are needed to successfully interact with co-workers, managers, and customers.

Benefits

Pay is an hourly rate based on experience (NOT Flat rate) and SIE offers an excellent benefit package for full time associates.
