Job Description

Did I peak your interest? Good, let’s add some more details:

Location: You will be working out of either our shop in Blaine or St. Paul. We have a tool truck, so you can bounce between the two.

Hours: The hours for this job can be very flexible! However, this position needs to start after noon on weekdays.We can be flexible with a later start time, longer days, weekend work, lunch breaks etc. But, our trucks are out working during the daytime hours, so we need our mechanic in later in the day. Therefore, this job must start after noon during the week. Saturdays and Sunday, you can set your own hours.

Pay: $20 to Start, Overtime pay after 10 hours a day and 40 a week. $2 an hour raise for getting a Class B CDL with Tanker and Air Brakes, and additional $1 – $2 raise for completing Drain and Vac Truck Certification. (raise amounts dependent on performance)

Field Tech Tasks: Once you get settled in with our fleet and have a grasp on how the work day flows, we would like to train you to work in the field as well. We want to do this for a couple of reasons. Number one, we get slammed at times and it would be great to have another guy available.

And finally, we want you to be able to be on the jobs at times to break things up from the daily grind of wrenching on trucks.
