Who We Are

Founded in 1959, HECO is a family-owned company dedicated to maximizing the reliability of rotating equipment. We help our customers understand issues clearly, resolve them effectively, and prevent them from happening again through our full range of services - repair, product sales, field service, predictive maintenance, and equipment management.

Our organization has grown to include respected partners such as Warwood Armature and, most recently, Fife-Pearce Electric Company. These strategic acquisitions have expanded our capabilities and brought together more than 168 years of combined expertise in the reliable and efficient use of electric motors and rotating equipment.

Fife-Pearce, a family-owned business since 1923, brings specialized expertise in magnetic chuck repair and controls. Their partnership also enables the expansion of our Metro Detroit Service Center operations into a larger, state-of-the-art facility. Together, we provide unmatched AC and DC motor knowledge and service capabilities across a wide range of industries, including power generation, metals, mining, chemical processing, paper, wastewater, OEM manufacturing, and more.

  • Conducting electrical tests using multimeters, meggers, and Baker instruments
  • Measuring winding resistance, RTD and heater resistances, and mechanical fits/clearances
  • Participating in daily discussions on customer products and workflow

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of AC/DC motor repair experience
  • 2+ years of team coordination or lead experience
  • Strong technical and mechanical troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to diagnose and repair motors, fans, pumps, gearboxes, and other rotating equipment
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Self-starter with a strong work ethic and commitment to quality
  • Willingness to work overtime or weekends as needed

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to lift, push, pull, and carry up to 50 lbs
  • Ability to sit, stand, or kneel for extended periods

What We Offer

  • Competitive Pay based on experience, qualifications and education
  • Paid Time Off

  • 401(k) Employer Match
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans
  • Relocation Assistance (if needed - if you're the right fit, we'll make it happen)
