WORK WHERE YOU COME FIRST.

Join Jones Lumber as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic
Jones Lumber turns raw timber into premium grade hardwood lumber and durable access mats. We exist to enhance the lives of our employees, customers, vendors, and the communities we serve.

Preferred Technical Skills

Experience with Caterpillar ET and John Deere Service Advisor diagnostic tools.

Experience with a broader mixed fleet of heavy equipment.
Familiarity with sawmill, log yard, or forestry equipment.

Education and Experience

High school diploma or equivalent required. Technical or trade school training preferred.
