Lead Heavy Equipment/Crane Mechanic

The company is a growing marine and heavy construction organization operating throughout Florida. The company maintains a significant fleet of heavy equipment and cranes and is committed to keeping its equipment operating safely, reliably, and efficiently in the field.

This is an opportunity to join a growing organization where an experienced mechanic can have a direct impact on equipment operations and potentially grow into a larger leadership role.
