Job Description

Do you know your way around skid steers, compact track loaders, and mini excavators? Are you ready to pick up a work order and get it done from day one? You don't need to be a master tech, but if you have solid skills and be ready to jump right in, we want to meet you.

Responsibilities include:

  • Complete preventative maintenance and routine repairs on your own on skid steers, compact track loaders, mini excavators, and other compact equipment.
  • Install and replace tracks and undercarriage components.
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot hydraulic, electrical, and diesel engine systems, escalating complex issues when needed.
  • Use diagnostic tools, laptops, schematics, and service manuals to find and fix equipment problems.
  • Keep accurate service records, including labor time, parts used, and repair notes.
  • Keep a clean, organized, and safety-focused work area.

What We're Looking For

  • Hands-on mechanical experience (construction equipment, diesel, agricultural, small engine, or similar machinery preferred)
  • Working knowledge of hydraulic, electrical, and diesel engine systems.
  • Ability to read schematics and follow service manuals with little direction.
  • A self-starter attitude: dependable, takes ownership, and knows when to ask questions.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Bobcat or other compact equipment experience is a strong plus.

What's in It for You

  • Competitive pay based on your skills and experience
  • Bi-annual tool allowance
  • Training and development programs to grow toward senior technician
  • Quarterly and annual performance bonuses
  • Full benefits package: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability Insurance
  • Paid holidays, PTO, floating holiday, parental leave, and community time off
  • Company-paid apparel allowance and milestone anniversary gifts
  • 401(k) with company match

Why Join Our Team?

  • Work on Bobcat, one of the most recognized names in compact equipment.
  • A clear path from technician to senior technician.
  • A stable, full-time career with a growing company.
  • A supportive team that backs you up on the tough jobs.

At Leppo Rents, you're not just another wrench in the shop. You're part of a team that's trusted, respected, and invested in. We've been recognized as one of the best places to work year after year because we do things the Leppo Way:

  • We keep our commitments.

About Leppo, Inc.

Leppo Equipment was founded in 1945 in Akron, Ohio, by Roy and Stella Leppo as an Oliver Farm Equipment dealer. With a declining need for farming equipment in the 1970s, Leppo shifted focus to construction equipment, which propelled the company's growth. During this time, we began to rent machines typically not found in traditional rental yards, and Leppo Rents was born.

Since 1945, Leppo Rents has been a dealer for many manufacturers, including Massey Ferguson, Case trenchers, Lull forklifts, Gradall, New Holland, and Mustang. Our current primary equipment lines include Bobcat, JLG, Hydro Mobile, and more.

Today, Leppo Rents has grown considerably since its first store in Akron. The Canton (OH) location opened in 1995, Youngstown (OH) in 1996, Wooster (OH) in 1998, Cleveland (OH) in 2004, Cleveland West (OH) in 2010, Dothan (AL) and Opelika (AL) in 2019, Panama City (FL) and Tallahassee (FL) in 2020, Lake County (OH) and Medina (OH) in 2022, Jacksonville (FL) and Ocala (FL) 2023.
