  • Monitor equipment condition and perform basic servicing and minor repairs. Report more complex mechanical issues to the shop supervisor.

  • Assist with equipment disassembly, loading, and transportation after completing assignments.

  • Ability to complete required qualification tests, safety training, and other company programs.

  • Availability for emergency call-outs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays.
