Heavy Equipment Lube Technician
RES Coal mines metallurgical coal — the raw material for steelmaking, not the thermal coal that fuels power plants. We've grown every year since 2008 and we're opening new sites right now.
We're hiring full-time Heavy Equipment Lube Technicians to support one of the largest CAT mining fleets in Pennsylvania. This is steady, year-round field work — and for the right person, it's the first rung of a real mechanic career.
IS THIS YOU?
This is our entry point into the trade. No heavy-equipment repair experience required — mechanical aptitude and reliability matter more than a long résumé. This role is a fit if:
✓ You're mechanically inclined and like working with your hands
✓ You take pride in doing preventative maintenance the right way
✓ You can work safely and independently outdoors at active mine sites
✓ You're dependable and show up on time, every day
✓ You want to grow into a mechanic role over time
✓ You have a Class B CDL with tanker endorsement, or you're willing to get one
This is where good mechanics start. If you're already an experienced wrench, look at our Field Mechanic or Shop Technician postings instead.
WHY WORK HERE
In short — lube techs are a critical part of keeping production running, and we treat the role as the start of a career, not a dead end.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Heavy Equipment Lube Technician performs scheduled preventative maintenance and fluid services on large mining equipment across multiple active mine sites, working out of a company lube truck and supporting field mechanics during major repairs and component changeouts.
Your day begins at the RES preparation plant in Clearfield, with travel to active sites in Clearfield, Cambria, Centre, Blair, and Armstrong Counties. Depending on the service level, you'll work independently on routine services or as part of a two-person team on higher-level fluid work.

TOOLS & SUPPORT
WHERE THIS LEADS
This is the on-ramp. The lube tech seat is how we bring people into the trade: lube technician, then mechanic helper, then full Field or Shop Technician — with pay moving up at each step.
We're also building CAT training opportunities for our maintenance staff so you can keep adding skills as you go.
