The Opportunity

Every operation has a backbone, the equipment that keeps everything moving. And behind that equipment is the mechanic who makes sure it’s ready, reliable, and running when it matters most.

At Seed Source, the Agriculture Heavy Duty Mechanic plays a central role in keeping the operation moving through every season. From high-horsepower tractors and combines to highway trucks and trailers, you’ll be working on the machinery that drives the entire business forward.

Some days are spent in the shop, diagnosing issues, completing repairs, and preparing equipment for the work ahead. Other days take you into the field, where quick thinking and strong troubleshooting skills keep downtime to a minimum during critical moments.

This is a role for someone who takes pride in their craft. Someone who enjoys solving problems, working with modern equipment, and being part of a team that depends on precision and reliability. It’s hands-on, meaningful work where your impact is immediate and essential.

• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace.

3. Equipment & Operational Support

• Support overall farm operations during peak seasons.
• Ensure all work meets safety and operational standards.

4. Documentation & Systems

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date equipment logs.
