About the role
Job Description:
We are looking for an experienced, highly capable agricultural or heavy-equipment technician to take ownership of the maintenance, diagnostics, repair, and reliability of a modern agricultural equipment fleet.
The right person takes pride in understanding why a machine failed and can independently diagnose mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and electronic problems.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in John Deere agricultural equipment or high-level heavy-equipment field service, with experience in diesel engines, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, CANBUS/electronic controls, diagnostic software, welding, and fabrication. John Deere dealership or field-service experience is highly preferred, although exceptional technicians from CAT, Komatsu, Case IH/CNH, AGCO, or similar heavy-equipment backgrounds will also be considered.
Primary Responsibilities:
Diagnose and repair tractors, combines, sprayers, planters, swathers, balers, tillage equipment, trucks, and other agricultural equipment.
Perform advanced electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, and electronic troubleshooting.
Use diagnostic software, wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics, and technical service information to identify problems accurately.
Perform welding, fabrication, and field repairs when needed.
Develop and manage a strong preventative-maintenance program and complete preseason inspections.
Respond to field breakdowns during planting, spraying, irrigation, and harvest.
Identify recurring failures and develop permanent solutions rather than repeatedly repairing the same problem.
Maintain an organized service truck, shop, tools, parts, and commonly used service components.
Work independently and take ownership of equipment reliability across the operation. Our Ideal Candidateis an experienced agricultural or heavy-equipment technician with a strong background in John Deere equipment, diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical diagnostics, and welding/fabrication. We are looking for someone who is an exceptional problem solver, can work
independently, and takes pride in diagnosing the root cause of a problem rather than simply replacing parts.
The right person will be organized, self-motivated, dependable, comfortable working across a diverse equipment fleet, and willing to take ownership of both preventative maintenance and repairs.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
