  • Routine Maintenance & Repair: Perform preventative maintenance, inspections, and component replacements on our fleet.
  • Diagnostics: Utilize diagnostic tools and software to troubleshoot complex electrical, engine, and transmission problems.
  • System Repairs: Address issues with aftertreatment systems (DEF/emissions), perform regens, and change filters.
  • Collaborate & Optimize: Work with your team to maintain accurate records, optimize vehicle performance, and minimize downtime.
  • Safety First: Adhere to all safety protocols and industry best practices to ensure our fleet is always DOT compliant.

Requirements

  • Experience: 3+ years of experience with Heavy-Duty Class 8 trucks and trailers or similar equipment (e.g., agricultural, construction, waste collection truck).
  • Technical Skills: Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills for diesel engines, transmissions, and vehicle systems. Proficiency with diagnostic software and using a laptop for manuals. Experience with aftertreatment systems and electrical diagnostics. Comfortable with MIG welding is a plus.
  • Certifications & Training: A minimum of two ASE Certifications within the first 6 months of employment (we'll reimburse you!). T-series ASE Certifications are highly valued.
  • Requirements: Valid Driver's License with clean driving record. Ability to perform physical tasks associated with vehicle maintenance (lifting, bending, etc.). Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality workmanship. Solid attendance record and punctuality are essential for this role.
