Lead Mechanic - 2nd Shift

Durham, North Carolina, United States

Why 2nd Shift at GFL is the Place to Be

  • đź’° Shift Differential: Earn more just for working the evening hours. $2 shift differential plus increase in pay based on experience and certifications.

  • 🛠️ Lead from the Front: You get the autonomy to run the shop without the "corporate" daytime crowd looking over your shoulder.

  • đź’¸ Tool & Boot Allowances: We invest in your gear so you can focus on the grit. $150 tool allowance and yearly boot allowance.

  • 🏥 Top-Tier Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and a 401(k) / RRSP match that actually helps you build a future.

  • 🚀 Career Trajectory: Being a Lead at GFL is the fast track to becoming a Shop Manager.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Command the Shop: Lead a team of technicians through the evening rush. You’re the go-to person for tough diagnostics and "how-do-we-fix-this" moments.

  • The "Pit Boss": Prioritize incoming repair orders. You decide which trucks hit the line first to ensure a seamless morning rollout.

  • Heavy-Duty Excellence: From engine overhauls to hydraulic failures, you’ll lead by example—turning wrenches on the big stuff while supervising the routine stuff.

  • Quality Control: You’re the final set of eyes. You ensure every repair is done right, done safe, and documented perfectly.

  • Safety Captain: Keep the energy high but the risks low. You’ll maintain a safe, clean, and organized environment during the hustle of the night shift.

Your Technical Arsenal

  • The Experience: 5+ years of heavy-duty diesel experience with at least 1–2 years in a leadership or "Lead Tech" capacity.

  • System Mastery: You’re a pro with Cummins, Mack, or Detroit engines and can navigate hydraulic schematics in your sleep.

  • The Certification: CDL Class A or B is highly preferred (if you don't have it, we'll help you get it).

  • The Tools: You’ve got a professional-grade toolset and the knowledge to use every diagnostic computer in the shop.

  • Communication: You can translate "engine talk" into clear instructions for your team and reports for the Maintenance Manager.
