(Heavy Equipment | Industrial Service | Field-Based Role)
Charlotte, NC + Surrounding Territory

You’re not just fixing forklifts.
You’re keeping operations moving — and helping shape the next generation of technicians.
If you’re an experienced field service technician who thrives on solving real problems, owning your territory, and mentoring others — this role was built for you.
At WMH Solutions, senior technicians don’t get stuck turning wrenches forever. They gain visibility, influence, and long-term career paths across service, parts, warranty, OEM programs, and leadership.
About WMH
WMH Solutions is a 38+ year leader in material handling, supporting warehouses, manufacturing, and distribution operations across the Southeast. With 11 locations and 250+ professionals, we deliver forklift service, fleet maintenance, automation, and aftermarket solutions that keep industry moving.
We’re an exclusive Linde Material Handling partner and a full-scale solutions provider — not just a dealership.
Here, your work matters. Your growth matters. And performance is recognized.
The Role
As a Senior Field Service Technician, you’ll operate independently in a company-provided service van, delivering advanced diagnostics, repairs, and preventative maintenance on forklifts and material handling equipment across customer sites.
You’ll also serve as a technical leader — mentoring junior technicians, setting quality standards, and helping drive operational excellence in the field.
This is not an entry-level role.
This is a career-track opportunity for technicians who want responsibility, autonomy, and growth.

• Execute first-time-right repairs
• Perform inspections, safety checks, and scheduled service programs
• Maintain fleet equipment to OEM and compliance standards
Leadership & Mentorship

• Share technical knowledge and best practices
• Lead by example in safety, professionalism, and workmanship
Customer Communication & Documentation
• Communicate findings and service recommendations clearly
• Complete accurate service reports, work orders, and repair documentation
• Follow OSHA regulations and safety standards

• 5+ years as a field service technician, heavy equipment mechanic, forklift technician, or industrial equipment technician
• Strong mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical troubleshooting skills
• Experience working independently in the field
• Valid driver’s license
Preferred (Not Required)
• ASE certifications
• Forklift or OEM certifications
• Dealer or industrial service experience
• Familiarity with diagnostic software and digital service platforms
You’ll also bring:

• Leadership mindset
• Pride in your work
Physical & Work Environment
• Field-based role across varied job sites
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs
• Standing, bending, kneeling, and working in diverse weather conditions
• Exposure to noise, dust, and industrial environments
What WMH Offers
• Competitive pay + performance incentives
• 100% paid travel time (no flat rate)
• Company van, fuel card, tablet, PPE & safety shoe allowance
• Quarterly tool allowance
• Uniforms provided and laundered weekly
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance (HSA & PPO options)
• 401(k) with up to 9% match + profit sharing
