Diesel Heavy Equipment Mechanic

RES Coal is hiring Heavy Equipment Field Mechanics to maintain one of the largest CAT mining fleets in Pennsylvania. This is steady year-round work, paid drive time, and a take-home service truck—not a road construction job that stops when the weather turns. If you want independence, big-iron work, and a company that supports mechanics with real tools and resources, this is the job. If you’re the type who gets the job done and doesn’t need micromanaged, you’ll fit in here.

WHY WORK HERE
