🏗️ About the Opportunity:
Meridian Engineering is a civil contractor serving Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado — powering projects that shape our communities. Our fleet of heavy equipment is the backbone of everything we build, and we’re looking for a Field Lube Technician to ensure it stays running strong. This role is perfect for someone mechanically inclined, safety-minded, and ready to travel.

You’ll work independently in the field, performing routine lube service and preventative maintenance on excavators, dozers, scrapers, and more — keeping job sites productive and downtime low.

✅ Successful Team Members in This Role Will…

• Perform scheduled lube services, fluid top-offs, oil changes, and basic maintenance on heavy construction equipment
• Log maintenance activity and complete DOT-compliant reports
• Inspect equipment for early signs of wear, leaks, or mechanical issues
• Operate service trucks and travel to job sites across AZ, NM, and CO
• Follow safety and environmental procedures for fueling and waste handling
• Communicate clearly with mechanics and field supervisors to schedule service windows
• Track inventory of fluids, filters, and parts for assigned units

📅 A Day in the Life of a Field Lube Technician:

• Review service priorities and check fleet maintenance schedules
• Load up service truck with needed fluids, tools, and PPE
• Travel to a job site and begin service on heavy machinery
• Complete equipment lube tasks, document activity, and note any concerns
• Return or relocate for the next assignment — or prep for the following day’s route

📈 Measurements of Success:

• On-time completion of scheduled service tasks
• Accurate maintenance records and proactive issue reporting
• Equipment uptime and fewer unplanned breakdowns
• Positive relationships with operators, mechanics, and field supervisors
• Clean safety and DOT compliance record

🧰 Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience servicing or maintaining heavy equipment (construction, mining, etc.)
• Valid driver’s license with a clean MVR
• Ability to lift, carry, and move fluid hoses, filters, and tools
• Strong time management and ability to work independently
• Willingness to travel regionally and stay overnight as needed
• Mechanically inclined and attentive to detail
• Based in or near Tucson, AZ (preferred)
