What You’ll Be Doing

• Diagnose and repair diesel engines, electrical systems, hydraulics, PTOs, pumps, and vacuum/blower systems
• Perform root cause troubleshooting, not just component replacement

Fleet Management & Oversight

• Own PM schedules, inspections, and fleet readiness

• Assess and document damage, repair scope, and timelines
• Maintain accurate records in Fleetio or equivalent systems

Shop Leadership & Planning

• Support execution of the Plan of the Day / Plan of the Week
• Adjust priorities based on fleet demand and downtime needs
• Identify training gaps and provide guidance to technicians
• Assist in maintaining shop standards and workflow efficiency

Parts, Tools & Cost Management

• Manage parts inventory and proactively order materials

• Ensure tools and equipment are maintained and used properly

Safety & Compliance (Safety-Sensitive Role)

• Operate vehicles in full compliance with DOT and federal regulations

• Conduct DOT inspections and ensure documentation accuracy
• Enforce and model all safety procedures and policies

Customer & Operations Support

• Provide equipment training to customers and team members

• Experience with vacuum trucks, pumps, or similar equipment preferred
• CDL required
• Ability to work independently and lead when needed

Why This Role Stands Out

• Backed by a growing, PE-supported platform with long-term stability
• Opportunity to step into lead mechanic or shop leadership roles
