Bobcat of Omaha, an authorized Bobcat® dealership serving the Omaha and Council Bluffs areas since 1981. We’re looking for a skilled Service Technician to join our team and help us continue our legacy of success.

At Bobcat of Omaha, we’ve been in business long before cell phones and email were considered primary means of conversation. Our dealership was originally called Omaha Tractor and primarily dealt with Ford, but in 1985, we took on the Bobcat brand. We faced challenges in the beginning, trying to sell our machines to construction companies who were hesitant to invest in upfront costs when they could hire laborers at a fraction of the cost. However, in 1987, we sold our first Bobcat to a construction company, and it turned out that our machines allowed them to get jobs done twice as fast with half the crew. Since then, we’ve been growing steadily.

As a Service Technician at Bobcat of Omaha, you’ll be responsible for servicing and repairing Bobcat equipment, including skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, and excavators. You’ll diagnose and troubleshoot issues, perform repairs and maintenance, and ensure that our customers’ equipment is in optimal working condition. You’ll work closely with our sales and parts teams to provide excellent customer service and support.
