Heavy Construction Equipment Diagnostics Technician

A Day in the Life

You roll into the shop, open a new work order in Equipment360, and begin with a PM2 on a skid steer. A quick scan with Caterpillar ET confirms the engine is healthy, but a sensor flag leads you to a loose connection in the lighting system. Before lunch, you replace a set of hydraulic hoses, bleed the system, and verify flow. After a call from Dispatch, you load up for a field service visit where an excavator needs an alternator swap and AC recharge. You coordinate with the Foreman on-site, complete the repair, update parts usage and labor time, and head back to the shop to tidy tools and prep for tomorrow’s PM5.
