  • So I had som. e experience with a lot of this equipment (both heavy equipment and small engines) from working as a park ranger (maintenance not law enforcement) and a logger, and I had worked in a mechanic shop (which I hated) and I also lied a bunch on my resume. My job is interesting because it’s essentially a combination two distinct trades- small engine repair and h equipment repair, though I don’t think that’s too uncommon.

    In terms of education that could help, there are a few community colleges and unions which offer trainings on equipment operation and maintenance but they can be hard to find. most community colleges offer auto shop classes which are a good basis, and particularly learning to work on diesel engines and vehicle electrical systems is good. You will be expected to know how to do some welding, which you can also learn at most community colleges. Both of these also just worthwhile skills to have. Having at least some experience working with/operating the kind of equipment you are maintaining is also important.
