We are looking for an Industrial Mechanic / Pump Technician (Elko, NV) Possibly the Coolest Mechanic Job Ever Rhino Pumps is located in the middle of Pleasant Grove, Utah, but this position is stationed in Elko, NV. We are biased - but we believe we are a pretty great company to work for. Check out our website @ rhinopumps.com to see how we are changing the world one pump at a time. We offer turnkey designs, engineered solutions, and expert service. We make sure our cities, mines and industrial companies throughout the states of Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado & Washington have running water to wash their dishes, dewatering where needed, and pumps to take care of waste from flushing toilets. You don't need pump experience If you've spent years as a diesel mechanic, fleet mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic, ag equipment mechanic, or industrial maintenance mechanic, you already have most of what this job takes. Precision measurement. Seals and bearings. Hydraulics. Diagnosing something that's broken without a manual telling you where to look. Reading a drawing. Pumps are their own thing, and there's real technical depth to learn. But we'd rather teach pumps to a mechanic who knows how to fix things than teach fundamentals to someone who's only ever read about them. If you've rebuilt engines, transmissions, hydraulic systems, gearboxes, or heavy equipment, apply. We'll train you on the pump side, and we pay for the manufacturer certifications. Here's what makes this opportunity unique... This isn't just another mechanic position. You will play a key role in launching and operating our Elko shop. We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of the shop, help establish efficient processes, maintain a clean and organized workspace, manage inventory and equipment, and build a strong service operation as our Nevada presence continues to grow. This is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while growing your career alongside a rapidly expanding company. Let's get the bad news out of the way first: You might get DIRTY. You'll spend much of your time in the shop rebuilding, repairing, and testing centrifugal pumps and related equipment. If you enjoy turning wrenches and solving mechanical problems, you'll fit right in. Now let's talk about the good stuff: We're family-oriented. We build team camaraderie through food, company events, and fun activities. We don't micromanage. Show up on time, work hard, communicate well, and complete your work. We trust our employees to do what they were hired to do. We're growing fast. Rhino Pumps has been growing for over 13 years, and each year brings new opportunities for advancement. As we expand, you'll have the chance to grow with us. We believe in working smart, not stressed. We expect quality work done efficiently, but we also believe in training, teamwork, and open communication. Now, let's talk about what you'll be doing: Help establish, organize, and operate Rhino Pumps' Nevada shop. Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient shop environment. Manage shop inventory, tools, equipment, and materials. Coordinate shop workflow and prepare equipment for field service. Demonstrate knowledge of best piping practices and assemble piping and valves according to industry standards. Install mechanical seals in turbine and end suction pumps with precision. Perform teardown, diagnosis, repair, and reassembly of pumps and related equipment. Tear down and repair electric motors. Couple and laser align motors for optimal performance. Test repaired equipment to ensure reliability and quality. Assist with field service, installations, and customer support as needed. Let's talk money: Let's be honest - we all work to pay the bills and enjoy life outside of work. $28 - $35 an hour, depending on experience. This is an hourly, non-exempt position.

Paid holidays. Paid manufacturer training and certification. Shop service truck for field calls. $200 boot allowance every 2 years. On-call premium. Per diem on overnight travel.
To be straight with you:
we don't offer a group major medical health plan. The Colonial Life policies are supplemental coverage. They are not major medical insurance and not a substitute for it. If you want major medical, you'd get it on your own through the marketplace, a spouse's plan, or another source. We'd rather tell you that now than at offer stage.
