Job Description

K&L Recycling is seeking a full-time Heavy Equipment Mechanic to join our hard-working team. We're not looking for part-changers-we're looking for a true, old-school mechanic who can think on their feet, diagnose issues without relying on a computer, and take pride in fixing things the right way. Work ethic and ability to learn is more important than knowledge. Candidate does not have to be a certified AWS welder, but ability to weld with a stick is non-negotiable.

Mechanic truck will be provided. The ability to stay out of town for short stints is a must. A clean MVR is a must.

What You'll Do:

  • Receive on-the-job training by one of the best in the field.
  • Diagnose and repair a variety of heavy equipment including loaders, excavators, forklifts, trailers and trucks.
  • Perform in-house welding and fabrication work as needed.
  • Conduct preventative maintenance to keep equipment running safely and efficiently.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems.
  • Keep detailed maintenance records, DOT maintenance records and work reports.
  • Travel to various locations throughout East Texas and our location in Kansas is required.


Requirements:

  • Proven experience as a heavy equipment mechanic (minimum 3-5 years preferred).
  • Strong welding and fabrication ability (Stick, cutting torches).
  • Deep mechanical knowledge-you're not afraid to tear into an engine or rebuild a hydraulic system.
  • Self-starter with strong problem-solving skills.
  • Comfortable working outdoors in a scrapyard or industrial environment.
  • Must have own tools.

Who You Are:

  • A no-nonsense, hands-on professional who values craftsmanship and pride in your work.
  • You're known for being reliable, independent, and solutions-focused.
  • You don’t just “swap parts” you fix things.

We Offer:

  • Competitive hourly wage based on experience.
  • Overtime opportunities.
  • Supportive, straightforward team environment.
  • Long-term stability with a growing company.


Apply Now: K&L Recycling is an Equal Opportunity Employer with leadership and a culture that support diversity and inclusion.
