A.C. Moate Industries, Inc. was ranked #1 in the nation by Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction Magazine.

We provide commercial pavement, property maintenance, and proprietary winter services for property managers, facility managers, commercial owners, HOAs, and general contractors.

We are looking for a Head Fleet Mechanic who can take ownership of the shop, keep our fleet ready for work, and prevent equipment failures from disrupting production.

If you spot problems before they sideline a crew, keep reading.

If you take pride in strong maintenance standards, accurate repairs, and equipment that stays fixed after it leaves the shop, you may be the right fit.

If you want to coast, guess at repairs, or pass problems down the road, this is not the position for you.

The Mission

Keep the company’s trucks, trailers, and operating equipment safe, reliable, and available to support daily field production with minimal downtime.

What You Will Own

Fleet uptime across trucks, trailers, and field equipment

Shop workflow, repair priorities, and daily maintenance execution

Preventive maintenance completed correctly and on schedule

Fast and accurate diagnosis of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and diesel-related problems

Repair quality that holds up under real field conditions

Safety inspections and road-readiness of fleet assets

Early identification of wear, damage, and mechanical risks

Clear communication regarding equipment status, repair timelines, and parts needs

Accountability for reducing repeat repairs and avoidable downtime

Maintaining an organized, professional, and efficient shop

Supporting and setting standards for other mechanics and outside repair vendors

This is not a position where you simply wait for work orders. We need someone who actively inspects the fleet, identifies risks, prioritizes repairs, and keeps production informed.

Our Fleet

Our operation includes light-duty and heavy-duty trucks, trailers, diesel equipment, paving equipment, skid steers, rollers, and other commercial construction equipment.

Experience with diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical diagnostics, trailers, DOT inspections, and construction equipment is highly valuable.

You do not need to be an asphalt expert on day one. We provide an intensive two-week onboarding program that includes industry-specific training and instruction on our systems and software.

What We Are Looking For

Strong experience maintaining and repairing commercial fleet vehicles or heavy equipment

Proven diagnostic ability

Experience with diesel, hydraulic, electrical, brake, suspension, and drivetrain systems

Ability to prioritize repairs based on safety and production needs

Strong preventive-maintenance habits

Leadership experience or the ability to set clear shop standards

Clear communication and accurate documentation

A valid driver’s license and dependable work history

CDL and inspection certifications are preferred but not required

Bring Proof

When you apply, tell us:

What types of trucks and equipment you have maintained

The size and variety of the fleet you supported

Whether you led other mechanics or managed shop workflow

How you reduced downtime or improved preventive-maintenance completion

About difficult problems you personally diagnosed and repaired

How quickly you returned equipment to service

What you did to prevent repeat failures

Specific numbers and real examples matter more than adjectives.

Compensation and Benefits

$35.00–$60.00+ per hour, depending on experience and demonstrated ability

Guaranteed minimum of 40 hours per week

Elite Bonus and Tenure Bonus opportunities

Medical insurance through Cigna, with the company covering 50% of the employee premium

Dental and vision insurance through Principal

401(k) with company match

Paid time off and holidays

Training and advancement opportunities

This can be another mechanic job.

Or it can be a position where you take ownership of a fleet, build strong shop standards, keep crews moving, and have a direct impact on the company’s production.

If uptime matters to you, standards matter to you, and you want your work to be noticed, apply now.
