Mobile Crane Systems Maintenance Specialist

If methodical diagnostics, precise repairs, and customer conversations energize you, MGX wants you in our shop. As a Mobile Crane Systems Maintenance Specialist, you’ll partner with the Service Manager and our service team to keep mobile cranes and boom trucks operating to OEM specs—safely, reliably, and on schedule.

A Grove GMK arrives with intermittent electrical faults. You pull the schematics, map the circuitry, and isolate a failing sensor. After replacement, you run hydraulic, electrical, and functional tests to validate performance. You document every step, complete the time sheet and expense report, and walk the customer through the fix. Then you pivot to an annual inspection on a Manitowoc lattice crane, measuring wear with micrometers and gauges, and flagging parts required for a proactive repair.
