Senior Forklift Service Technician

Day-in-the-Life: Keep Tucson’s Fleet Moving

Start your morning in our Tucson, AZ shop reviewing the day’s service tickets. You’ll prep your tools, check parts availability, and head to your first assignment—sometimes in the shop, sometimes out in the field—diagnosing mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic issues on gas, diesel, and electric forklifts and related heavy equipment. This is a repair-and-maintenance position, not an operator role.

• Perform inspections and functional testing to identify issues before they escalate.
• Document work performed, parts utilized, and timelines accurately and promptly.
• Respond to both shop and field service calls as needed.
• Collaborate with teammates to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and share best practices.
• Stay current on emerging technologies and trends in material handling.
• Follow OSHA safety standards and company policies while keeping a clean, organized workspace.

• Ability to read wiring diagrams, schematics, and service manuals.
• Strong diagnostic mindset, attention to detail, and solid organization.
