Job DescriptionHeavy Equipment Service Advisor

Location: Farmingdale, NY
Compensation: $60,000–$75,000 per year

Day in the Life

Your morning starts on the shop floor—coffee in hand—reviewing the day’s repair list with our veteran Shop Foreman. He walks you through diagnostics on a dozer needing hydraulic work and a loader with intermittent electrical faults. You turn those insights into clear, line-item estimates in QuickBooks, translate mechanic notes into customer-ready language, and pick up the phone to set expectations. By lunch, you’ve updated order statuses, confirmed parts availability, and scheduled pickups. Before the day wraps, invoices are polished, customers are briefed, and the team is aligned for tomorrow—no weekend rushes, just steady, reliable rhythms.
