Vehicle & Equipment Service Tech Mechanic II

San Benito, TX, USFull-timePosted Sep 3, 2026

Job description

Tejas Equipment Rentals is hiring an experienced, journey-level Vehicle & Equipment Mechanic II at our San Benito branch. This isn't an entry-level seat - you'll be diagnosing, repairing, and overhauling everything from skid steers, excavators, and aerial lifts to our class 8 trucks, service trucks, and trailers. Gas and diesel, shop and field, engines to hydraulics.

We're a family-owned, Texas-based company, and our mechanics are the reason our fleet earns its reputation. If you take pride in fixing it right the first time - and helping the next tech learn how - keep reading.

The Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage

  • 401(k)

  • Life Insurance

  • Health Savings Account

  • Paid Time Off

  • Monday-Friday schedule, with occasional Saturdays to support project demands

What Your Day Looks Like

  • Perform major and minor repairs on gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions, and differentials

  • Diagnose engine, hydraulic, hydrostatic, and 12V electrical issues on construction equipment and company vehicles - including class 8 trucks, service trucks, and trailers

  • Disassemble and repair hydraulic pumps, motors, and related components

  • Roll out for roadside and jobsite repairs when a machine goes down in the field

  • Perform inspections and repairs to keep vehicles in compliance with safety standards and regulatory requirements

  • Keep accurate time, materials, and repair records so nothing slips through the cracks

  • Maintain parts and materials inventory, and lend your experience to equipment spec decisions

  • Provide technical guidance to Level 1 mechanics, customers, and the sales team

How We Work: The Tejas Core Values

These aren't posters on a wall - they're how we hire, how we operate, and how we win:

  • Mentoring Others - You're the tech the newer guys come to with the tough diagnosis. You share what you know and make the whole shop better.

  • Growth Oriented - Journey level isn't the finish line. New equipment lines, new diagnostic tools, new certifications - we'll invest in your training if you bring the drive.

  • Get 'Er Done Attitude - A customer with a dead machine doesn't want excuses. You find the problem, fix it right, and get them back on schedule.

  • Team Tejas - The shop, the counter, dispatch, and sales all win together. You work your priorities with the branch team and back each other up.

What You Bring

  • Journey-level experience diagnosing, maintaining, and overhauling engines, power transmission systems, and hydraulics on trucks, construction machinery, and equipment

  • Ability to work independently with sound judgment - assignments come in general terms, and you run with them

  • Comfort working in shop and field environments in all weather conditions

  • Ability to frequently lift and carry up to 90 pounds and work in tight or awkward positions

  • Valid Texas driver's license and a clean driving record

Why Tejas?

We take care of our customers - and the team that takes care of them. We're family-owned, growing across Texas, and we promote people who prove themselves. This is a place to build a career, not just clock hours.

Apply today - it only takes a few minutes, and we're excited to meet you.
