Bring Machines Back to Life
By mid-morning you've stripped down a Tennant unit, tagged wear items, and are mapping the rebuild. After lunch, you're diagnosing a hydraulic quirk, chasing an intermittent electrical fault, and buttoning up a combustion engine—diesel today, LP tomorrow. You close the day with quality checks, tidy your station to 5S standards, and log a smart improvement idea for the team. If that sounds like a great day, read on.
What you’ll do
- Disassemble and reassemble complex industrial cleaning equipment with precision and independent judgment.
- Teardown and rebuild a variety of used Tennant machines as part of our reconditioning workflow.
- Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems; troubleshoot batteries and air- and water‑cooled combustion engines (diesel, gas, LP).
- Complete in‑process quality checks and communicate results to ensure we meet quality and cost targets.
- Apply safe, proper use and maintenance of company tools and equipment; present a professional image at all times.
- Assist across all stages of reconditioning while continuously learning through self‑study, hands‑on work, and guidance from the Shop Supervisor.
