At Ledon Mechanical, we keep the heavy industry moving. We specialize in maintaining, repairing, and optimizing heavy-duty equipment,. We pride ourselves on top-quality workmanship, fast turnaround times, and maintaining a culture focused on shop efficiency and collaborative problem-solving.
We are currently looking for an experienced, decisive, and results-driven Shop Lead to lead our repair shop, mentor our technicians, and manage daily service operations. For the right candidate, this role offers a clear path for advancement into a Shop Foreman position.
