This is NOT an entry-level position. We need a skilled, dependable technician who understands trailer mechanical systems, can diagnose and repair problems independently, and has strong welding and fabrication abilities. We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, understands how to troubleshoot difficult repairs, and can complete jobs correctly and efficiently without constant supervision. Responsibilities Diagnose and repair electrical systems, including wiring, lighting, trailer brakes, and breakaway systems. Diagnose and repair hydraulic systems on dump trailers, including pumps, cylinders, valves, and electrical controls. Repair and replace trailer axles, hubs, bearings, suspension components, and braking systems. Perform structural repairs on cargo, utility, equipment, dump, and gooseneck trailers. Perform MIG welding, cutting, and steel fabrication. Fabricate brackets, supports, mounts, crossmembers, and other custom components. Install and repair truck beds, hitches, jacks, couplers, and trailer accessories. Identify mechanical failures and determine proper repair solutions. Perform quality-control inspections to ensure repairs meet safety standards. Complete jobs efficiently while maintaining professional workmanship. Required Qualifications Applicants MUST have advanced mechanical experience. Minimum 5 years of professional mechanical repair experience preferred. Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities. Advanced knowledge of 12V electrical systems. Experience repairing hydraulic systems. Strong understanding of trailer axles, brakes, bearings, and suspension. Proficient MIG welding and metal fabrication skills. Ability to work independently with minimal supervision. Ability to use diagnostic equipment, power tools, and shop machinery. Strong work ethic and attention to detail. Experience with commercial trailers, heavy equipment, diesel trucks, or fleet maintenance is a plus. What We're Looking For We aren't looking for someone who just changes tires, packs bearings, or knows how to weld. We need a true mechanic who can figure out WHY something isn't working and knows how to fix it. The ideal candidate can take a repair order, diagnose the issue, determine the repair, and complete the job from start to finish. You should be comfortable tackling challenging jobs and finding solutions when a repair isn't straightforward. Why Work at Superstar Trailers? Established, growing, family-owned Texas company. Full-service repair facility with a variety of challenging work. Opportunities to expand your skills. Competitive pay based on experience and ability. Opportunity for long-term career growth. Work on everything from utility trailers to heavy-duty equipment and custom fabrication projects. How to Apply Apply through Indeed with your work history and relevant experience. Qualified applicants should be prepared to discuss previous mechanical repairs, electrical diagnostics, hydraulic troubleshooting, and fabrication experience. We are looking for a serious, experienced technician who wants a long-term position with Superstar Trailers. Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour Work Location: In person
