Fleet Mechanic
GridSource Inc.GridSource is seeking a full-time Equipment Mechanic / Warehouse Facilitator to keep our underground construction fleet running and our Charlotte warehouse organized and safe. This is a facility-based role, not a field crew position and not an automotive mechanic role. The right candidate has hands-on experience with hydraulic, pneumatic, and diesel-powered heavy construction equipment. This person owns the health of our equipment: servicing it when it comes back to the warehouse, performing preventative maintenance when it is not in use, and making sure it never runs down on the job. When equipment breaks down on a job site, this person is the go-to resource to diagnose and repair it on site. Alongside maintenance, this person runs the day-to-day warehouse: receiving shipments, tracking inventory, and keeping the facility safe and orderly. Key Responsibilities Equipment Maintenance & Repair Inspect, service, and repair construction equipment as it returns to the warehouse, including microtrenchers and trenchers (Ditch Witch or similar), hydro-excavation/vacuum trucks (Guzzler or similar), and volumetric concrete mixer trucks. Diagnose and repair hydraulic, pneumatic, diesel engine, and electrical systems: pumps, cylinders, hoses, valves, blowers, compressors, and controls. Plan and perform preventative maintenance on schedule (fluids, filters, greasing, belts, cutting teeth and wear parts, tire and track checks) while equipment is not in use. Respond to job sites when equipment breaks down to diagnose and repair in the field, or arrange recovery and replacement to minimize downtime. Keep maintenance records, service logs, and equipment history up to date for every unit. Flag recurring problems, recommend repair-vs-replace decisions, and advise leadership on equipment readiness ahead of upcoming work. Coordinate with vendors, dealers, and outside repair shops for warranty work, specialty repairs, and parts. Warehouse Operations & Inventory Receive, inspect, and log incoming shipments of equipment, parts, tools, and construction materials; report damaged or missing items. Maintain accurate inventory of equipment, parts, tools, and materials; conduct regular cycle counts. Track equipment and tool check-out and return so every item is accounted for. Keep a stock of critical spare parts and consumables; place or request reorders before items run out. Stage equipment and materials so crews are ready to load out each morning. Keep the warehouse, shop, and yard clean, organized, and secure. Safety Maintain a safe warehouse, shop, and yard: housekeeping, clear walkways, proper storage, and secure staging of equipment and materials. Follow and enforce PPE requirements and lockout/tagout procedures for all maintenance and repair work. Operate forklifts and other material-handling equipment safely. Handle, store, and dispose of fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, and other hazardous materials properly, and keep Safety Data Sheets (SDS) current and accessible. Exercise stop-work authority whenever conditions are unsafe, and escalate to the Supervisor immediately. Tag out and remove from service any unsafe or defective equipment until it is repaired. Report all incidents and near misses right away, and support investigations and corrective actions. Required Qualifications Must be local to the Charlotte, NC metro area. 3+ years of experience as a heavy equipment, diesel, or construction equipment mechanic (not automotive). Hands-on experience diagnosing and repairing hydraulic and pneumatic systems on heavy machinery. Mechanical experience with construction equipment such as Ditch Witch equipment, hydro-excavation/vacuum trucks (Guzzlers), and volumetric concrete mixer trucks. Ability to read service manuals, hydraulic schematics, and wiring diagrams. Able to keep accurate maintenance and inventory records using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record. Able to report to the warehouse by 7:00 AM, wo…
