A Day in the Life of a Mechanic at Bercon Rentals
If you think being a mechanic at Bercon Rentals is just about wrenches, grease and oil-stained overalls, think again.
At Bercon Rentals, being a mechanic (also called a Shop Service Technician) is about taking on challenging tasks and keeping Ontario’s construction industry moving — literally!
Every lift, telehandler, and aerial platform relies on our mechanics’ expertise and their endless problem-solving, leadership and process-management skills.
Let’s dive deep into a day in the life of a Bercon Rentals mechanic:
In the Shop: Coffee, Tools and Machines
The day starts when you walk into either of our shops (in Hamilton and Etobicoke) with the hum of machines and the gleam of our highly specialized equipment: SkyJack lifts, Genie articulating boom lifts, SkyTrak telehandlers and many more. Each piece is organized and waiting for inspection, maintenance or repair.
Bercon mechanics start their day by checking in, attending safety talks, and diving into their work. Sometimes it’s going through a checklist and ensuring that recently returned equipment is in proper order. Other times, it is fixing a hydraulic leak on a boom lift. And still other times, it’s a more complex fix that requires highly technical skills and knowledge.
No matter the day, the work is hands-on and deeply satisfying! You work with others where together every problem solved keeps a job on schedule and workers safe. No two days are ever the same. The different tasks keep our team engaged and the very best in the business.
On the Road: Independence and Impact
Some Bercon mechanics thrive in the shop, surrounded by colleagues, sharing knowledge and fixing tricky repairs. Others prefer the independence of travelling to job sites to diagnose and repair equipment on the spot. While individuals work independently they are backed by a team of experts ensuring they get the support to meet client needs.
Being on-site when the going gets tough means every repair has an immediate and crucial impact.
Whether in the shop or on the road, Bercon’s mechanics are highly skilled, experienced and a teambuilder like no other.
