This role focuses on trailers and chassis: brakes, suspension, welding, fabrication, and custom up-fits. No engine work. You’ll repair fleet tractors and specialty pressurized trailers and build custom up-fits to customer specs.  We’re part of TerraVest Industries, so you get the stability of a large, growing company with the feel of a family hands-on shop where your work is noticed.

What You’ll Do

• Perform maintenance and repair on pressurized transport trailers

• Weld and fabricate (MIG/TIG) on custom work such as moving axles and adding gates or cabinets

• Complete DOT inspections and keep accurate service records

• Run a forklift and overhead crane as part of daily shop work

Good to Know

This is a safety-sensitive role. Offers are contingent on passing a pre-employment drug screen (including marijuana) and a criminal background check.  Some tasks require a tight-fitting respirator, so you must be clean-shaven where the mask seals to your face. Facial hair that doesn’t interfere with the seal may be OK, case by case. If you have questions, ask us in the interview.

A Plus, but We’ll Train the Right Person
