Service Technician Mobile Crane

🔧 Passion instead of standard. With us, you work on machines that lift 60 tons – mobile cranes where hydraulics, electronics, and chassis must work together perfectly, because no one can improvise on the construction site. Whether you join us as an Automobil-Mechatroniker/in EFZ, Baumaschinenmechaniker/in EFZ, Landmaschinenmechaniker/in EFZ, or as a Lastwagenmechaniker/in: In Windisch, you will find a niche that you will hardly encounter a second time.

For over 100 years, Gebr. Knecht AG has been a reliable partner in terms of commercial vehicles, construction machinery, bodywork, and lettering. Owner-managed, family-like, at four locations in Switzerland and since 2024 part of the Thomann Nutzfahrzeug Gruppe with a total of eleven locations throughout German-speaking Switzerland.

🛠️ Your tasks:

• You keep mobile cranes ready for use – from scheduled service to troubleshooting under time pressure.
• Repair & maintenance: You get mobile cranes running again – hydraulics, drivetrain, chassis, and superstructure
• Hydraulics in focus: Cylinders, pumps, valves, and lines – you test, seal, and repair
• Diagnosis & troubleshooting: You narrow down electronic and mechanical faults using modern diagnostic technology and resolve them specifically
• Maintenance & service: Periodic service work, safety inspections, and preparation for the vehicle inspection (Krankontrolle)
• Careful documentation: Clearly recorded, traceable for customers and the team

✅ Your profile:

• Completed training as an Automobil-Mechatroniker/in EFZ Nutzfahrzeuge, Baumaschinenmechaniker/in, or equivalent qualification
• Experience with hydraulics is an advantage, enjoyment of it is a prerequisite
• Independent, precise way of working – even under time pressure during on-call duty
• Readiness for on-call and field assignments
• Team player with the desire to specialize in a specific field
• Driver's license Kat. B required, Kat. C/CE an advantage

🤔 Why us – and not another company?

Over 100 years of experience, but zero stagnation: We are not an anonymous large corporation, but an owner-managed family business – decisions are made here with us, not in a far-off headquarters
Versatility instead of a one-way street: Mobile cranes, trucks, buses, construction machinery – with us, you work on a range that other companies do not offer in this way
Career changers welcome: If you come from trucks or agricultural machinery, we will build your crane know-how together – you don't have to know everything already

More than a job: As part of the Knecht-Gruppe and the Thomann Nutzfahrzeug Gruppe, eleven locations and sister companies such as Thomann Nutzfahrzeuge, Eurobus, or Welti-Furrer are open to you if you wish to reorient yourself later.
