- Strong practical experience with hydraulics and mechanical systems.
- Experience working on tracked/crawler equipment.
- Ability to diagnose equipment problems and carry out repairs independently.

- A safety-conscious approach and a willingness to take ownership of equipment maintenance.
Preferred experience
