Trailer Technician (Professional Trailer Whisperer / Occasional Firefighter)

Location: Fargo, ND

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM (theoretically)

Pay: $20-$34/hr DOE + $2,000 sign-on bonus (because we know tools aren't cheap and therapy isn't covered)

Fargo Trailer Center (a proud subsidiary of Wallwork Inc.) is on the hunt for a Trailer Technician who enjoys fixing things that other people have aggressively broken.

We pride ourselves on being dependable, hardworking, and occasionally wondering who routed those wires like that and why.

If you enjoy:

• Mechanical puzzles created by strangers
• The smell of grease and welding sparks
• Solving problems that start with "this shouldn't have been possible"

…then congratulations. You may have found your people.

What You'll Actually Do

You will heroically battle trailers that have:

• Seen things
• Been through things
• And probably shouldn't still be on the road

Daily adventures include:

• Diagnosing trailer issues ranging from minor inconveniences to how-is-this-even-moving
• Repairing air brakes, electrical systems, suspension components, and whatever else is hanging on by hope
• Welding and fabrication when things are beyond the point of polite repair
• Hunting down loose wires, questionable repairs, and mechanical crimes committed by previous technicians
• Communicating with the parts department when you discover that the part you need no longer exists on Earth
• Documenting repairs so future technicians know what heroic acts occurred here

You'll work independently sometimes, and with a team when multiple people are required to stare at something and say:

"Well… that's not supposed to look like that."

Minimum Qualifications

To survive this position you will need:

• High school diploma or GED (or the mechanical wisdom equivalent)
• Valid driver's license with a driving record that doesn't make insurance companies faint
• Mechanical aptitude and a general respect for physics
• Ability to pass a background check, drug screen, and motor vehicle report
• Your own tools and toolbox (because every great mechanic knows their tools better than their family)

Bonus Skills That Make Us Impressed

If you have these, we'll assume you've seen some things:

• Mechanical trade school OR 2+ years of trailer technician experience
• Welding and fabrication skills
• Familiarity with:
• Air brakes
• Trailer inspections
• Electrical systems
• Suspension components
• Wheel ends & hubs
• Hydraulic systems
• Bodywork
• Frame repair
• And identifying whatever the previous owner tried to "fix themselves"

Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Prepare yourself for noble tasks such as:

• Diagnosing problems and recommending repairs
• Performing repairs efficiently and accurately (because gravity and highways are unforgiving)
• Inspecting trailers for loose wires, damaged components, and mysterious engineering decisions
• Consulting with the Shop Foreman when a repair becomes a full-blown mechanical saga
• Removing parts to access the problem area, discovering three additional problems
• Documenting everything you fixed and everything that tried to fight back
• Keeping the shop clean enough that OSHA doesn't show up with questions
• Protecting customers' trailers from additional chaos

Supervision

You will supervise exactly zero people.

However, you may occasionally supervise a confused trailer that refuses to cooperate.

Benefits (The Real Ones)

We actually offer real benefits, not just pizza:

• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
• Health Savings Account
• Employer-Paid Life Insurance & Long-Term Disability
• 401(k) & Profit Sharing
• Voluntary Benefits
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Paid Time Off
• Employee Assistance Program
• Employee Discounts
• Special Events

Final Notes

Wallwork Inc. and its subsidiaries are a drug-free workplace and equal opportunity employer.

Mostly we just want someone who:

• Can fix trailers
• Has common sense
• And doesn't panic when a repair turns into an archaeological dig of bad decisions.

If you can diagnose problems, weld metal, and keep trailers from falling apart on the highway…

We should probably talk.
