Parking Lot Painting Company (PLP Co.) is a premier, high-growth specialty contractor recognized for elite-level installation and removal of complex pavement markings.

Our reputation is built on velocity and uncompromising quality.

To maintain this standard, we need a high-caliber Mobile Diesel Mechanic / Heavy Equipment Field Technician to serve as our primary field diagnostic authority.

provides the stable, year-round platform and uncapped overtime you need to elevate your career.

What You Will Be Doing

You will take complete ownership of field asset readiness, working independently across diverse environments to minimize operational downtime:


* On-Site Technical Diagnostics: Rapidly troubleshoot, isolate, and repair complex mechanical failures on-site.

Your scope spans light-duty support vehicles, class 8 heavy-duty transport trucks, and heavy specialty construction machinery.


* Systems & Diagrams Mastery: Execute preventative maintenance and intricate system overhauls by accurately interpreting OEM blueprints, electrical schematics, hydraulic circuits, and pneumatic diagrams.


* Emergency Roadside Recovery: Provide rapid-response tactical assistance for field breakdowns, executing structural repairs under tight time constraints or coordinating complex towing logistics when necessary.


* Component Fabrication & Welding: Dismantle devices using advanced hand and power tools to replace defective components.

Occasionally perform custom structural cutting, wire-feed/arc welding, and torch-cutting to adapt parts in the field.


* Quality Assurance Testing: Rigorously inspect and test all field-repaired equipment to guarantee 100% operational safety and peak performance before it returns to active service.


* Regulatory Compliance: Conduct official DOT inspections and maintain strict alignment with federal safety guidelines to protect our drivers and the traveling public.
