What You’ll Be Doing

As a Preventative Maintenance (PM) Mechanic, you won't just be swapping parts—you’ll be the frontline defender of our fleet's health and safety.

  • Hands-On Maintenance: Perform essential PM services, including tire, oil, filter, and brake inspections and replacements.

  • Diagnostics & Safety Inspections: Assist leadership and senior technicians with full-system inspections—from brake and emission systems to steering, engine components, and hydraulics.

  • Test & Diagnose: Take trucks on test drives to diagnose potential issues, verify repairs, and ensure everything is 100% "road ready."

  • DOT & Compliance Checks: Conduct routine DOT, PM, and safety inspections under guided supervision to meet the highest safety standards.

  • Tech & Tools: Use modern diagnostic software and complete digital work orders, keep track of parts, and handle shop administration efficiently.

  • Continuous Learning: Participate actively in shop training and development opportunities to expand your technical expertise into complex repair processes.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience: 1+ years of entry-level mechanical experience or heavy equipment/automotive fleet maintenance.

  • Safety First: Working knowledge of DOT, OSHA, and state/federal safety regulations.

  • Tools & Tech: Computer literate, eager to learn diagnostic software, and comfortable reading service manuals and procedures.

  • Driver’s License: Valid driver's license required. Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is preferred (or the drive to obtain one within your first 6 months!).

  • Certifications: ASE certifications are a major plus!

  • Mindset: Strong communication skills, a team-first attitude, and a continuous desire to learn and master advanced diagnostics.

Physical Demands & Environment

  • Ability to stand, stoop, kneel, crouch, reach, and lift up to 50 lbs (push/pull up to 100 lbs).

  • Comfortable operating trucks, ladders, and shop equipment safely.

  • Dynamic shop environment—we keep a clean, safe, and organized work area!
