Keeping the machinery working and the trucks moving demands a skilled team of mechanics and service technicians on the job daily. Independence Lumber Inc. operations employs a range of mechanized technology, heavy equipment, automated machines, diesel trucks, and small motors. The forest sector “mechanic” is responsible for the prompt and efficient repair of high-tech equipment, as well as preventative service, that keeps machinery producing without needless breakdowns. These mechanics have specialized skills and training tailored to fix and maintain the unique purpose-built modern equipment on the jobsites or at the mill. Without these important mechanical technicians, the many heels-saws-electronic components in the sawmill and logging production clock grind to an unproductive halt.
