The posting

Forbes Bros. Group of Companies delivers transmission, distribution, substation, and related power infrastructure projects across Canada and the United States.

Our work spans field construction, project delivery, operations, and corporate support in an environment where safety, execution, and reliability matter.

The Opportunity

Keep the vehicles and equipment behind a major transmission project working safely and reliably.

The Field Mechanic supports FB Timberline’s R-Project, initially based in Stapleton, Nebraska, independently diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining a mixed fleet of trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, and specialized construction assets.

This opportunity suits an experienced mechanic who enjoys troubleshooting, takes ownership of repairs, and looks beyond the immediate fault to prevent repeat failures. Your work will help crews stay productive and keep essential equipment available throughout construction.

Applicants from other cities and surrounding states are encouraged to apply if they can travel to Nebraska for the scheduled rotation. The role provides $200 USD per day in per diem, plus company-paid initial mobilization and final demobilization.

What You’ll Do

  • Diagnose and repair: Independently troubleshoot mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems and complete repairs using service manuals, diagnostic tools, and sound technical judgment.
  • Perform preventive maintenance: Complete scheduled servicing and inspections in accordance with fleet standards and equipment requirements.
  • Deliver reliable repairs: Identify underlying causes of equipment failures and apply lasting solutions that reduce repeat repairs and unplanned downtime.
  • Support field operations: Complete work efficiently and help return equipment to service during busy construction periods.
  • Identify reliability concerns: Communicate recurring faults, emerging failure patterns, and equipment risks to the Lead Mechanic or Supervisor.
  • Maintain accurate records: Complete work orders, inspection records, and maintenance documentation to support equipment history, billing, and compliance.
  • Work safely: Follow maintenance and repair procedures, meet quality requirements, and maintain organized workspaces and properly cared-for tools.

What You’ll Bring

  • At least three years of progressive experience maintaining and repairing fleet vehicles, heavy equipment, or specialized construction assets.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently diagnose and repair mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems.
  • Experience working with mixed fleets, including trucks, trailers, off-road equipment, and support assets.
  • Ability to interpret service manuals, wiring diagrams, schematics, and diagnostic results.
  • A strong understanding of safety, inspection, and documentation requirements in safety-sensitive environments.
  • A valid driver’s license and a motor vehicle record that meets FB Timberline’s Fleet Policy requirements. A commercial driver’s license (CDL) is an asset.

College training in heavy equipment mechanics or an equivalent trade qualification is strongly preferred. Experience with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), digital work orders, and inspection tracking tools is an asset.

Project, Pay & Work Schedule

  • Primary work location: Stapleton, Nebraska, supporting the R-Project. This is a site-based travelling role requiring attendance at the project during scheduled work rotations.
  • Project work areas: The R-Project extends from near Sutherland through the Stapleton and Thedford areas and east into Holt County, Nebraska. Work assignments may move between project yards and active construction areas as the project progresses.
  • Rotation: Four weeks on, followed by one week off.
  • Working schedule: Six days per week, working 12-hour days during the scheduled rotation.
  • Pay: Hourly, with overtime after 40 hours worked per week.
  • Per diem: $200 USD per day.
  • Travel arrangements: The company pays for one initial trip to the project and one final trip home at the end of the project assignment. All other travel and living-away expenses, including trips home between rotations, are covered through the per diem and are not separately reimbursed.
  • Anticipated project duration: Approximately three years.

The range shown is the expected base pay range for this role. Final compensation will be determined based on role requirements, experience, qualifications, work location, applicable project/site requirements, internal equity, and any applicable collective agreement or union requirements.

This range does not include overtime, premiums, per diem / LOA, bonuses, benefits, or other forms of compensation unless specifically stated in the job posting.
