While the role continues to focus on providing optimal maintenance, repairs and service to diesel engines, it’s undergone a shift due to new technologies, an aging workforce and increased focus on eco-friendly performance.
Cat Dealer Technicians are service warriors.
With an anticipated growth of 8 percent from 2016 to 2026, companies are on the lookout for experienced and entry-level heavy equipment mechanics to join their ranks.
