Working primarily in the field at active job sites, you will diagnose, maintain, and repair a wide range of heavy construction and electrical support equipment, such as bucket trucks, digger derricks, cranes, aerial lifts, trenchers, generators, and other specialized tools used by our line and construction crews. You will perform scheduled preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and safety inspections to minimize downtime and keep our projects operating efficiently and safely.

You will contribute to our culture of safety, quality, and teamwork by communicating clearly with crew members, participating in safety meetings, and supporting a collaborative, respectful work environment. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience as a field or heavy equipment mechanic in a construction or industrial setting, with strong diagnostic skills and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. You should be comfortable using diagnostic tools, reading equipment schematics, and utilizing maintenance software or digital work order systems. A high school diploma or equivalent is required; completion of a technical or vocational program in diesel, heavy equipment, or industrial maintenance is preferred. This position offers the opportunity to directly support MYR Group’s mission of delivering innovative, high-quality electrical construction solutions. As a Field Mechanic, you will be an essential partner to our operations and project management teams, ensuring that equipment is reliable and ready so projects can be executed safely and efficiently.
