HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT MECHANIC #EquipmentTechnician #FieldMechanic #FieldServiceTechnician #Mechanic
If you took your pedal bike apart as a child, tinkered with your dirt bike as a teenager and repaired your car as an adult, you just might be thought of as a “gearhead”. If so, you might want to consider a career as a Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanic. For your next project, swap the car for an excavator or piece of oil rig equipment!
As a Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanic, you repair, troubleshoot, adjust, overhaul and maintain mobile heavy duty equipment for oil and gas-related construction and operations activities. It has been said that the amount of information a Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanic has to retain to inspect, diagnose and fix equipment resembles that of a doctor. Your brain is one of your most important tools as troubleshooting is a critical part of your day. As we live in an electronic world, you must also be comfortable with electronics and computers. You often diagnose equipment problems by plugging your laptop into the electronic control module (ECM) of a machine. You’ll be responsible to find the problem and resolve it. You also enjoy working with big mechanical systems, components and parts. For example, excavator shovels can wear out from use and require ongoing maintenance and repair.

What would I do? You inspect equipment and machines to diagnose defects. Working with a combination of heavy machinery, electronics and computers is expected of you. Almost all highway or offhighway equipment have multiple electrical control systems. Emissions control regulations have also introduced a host of electronic parts and sensors that detect diesel particulate, temperatures and pressures. You do preventative maintenance on industrial and construction vehicles, such as bulldozers, graters and excavators. You change oil air filters and check fluids. You might be required to have basic welding skills to make mechanical repairs or soldering skills to make electrical repairs. Other tasks you may be required to do as a Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanic include: ``
Reading and understanding operating manuals, blueprints and technical drawings
``
Testing mechanical equipment after repair to ensure proper performance
``
Researching, ordering and maintaining parts to ensure inventory is sufficient for services and repairs
