Diesel Technician - 2nd Shift Build Your Career with a Northern Nevada Original

Would you like to bring your diesel experience to a company that has been part of Northern Nevada for more than a century? Are you looking for a hands-on position where you'll work on everything from diesel trucks and tractors to refrigeration units, trailers, lift gates, and fleet equipment? This is an opportunity to join a Reno-based company that has been producing and distributing high-quality products since 1906 and continues to be a trusted name throughout Northern Nevada. You'll join an established operation where keeping the fleet running safely and reliably is critical to getting fresh products to customers every day. If you're a strong troubleshooter who enjoys figuring out what's wrong, making the repair, and getting equipment back on the road, this could be a great next move.

Are You Ready to Keep an Essential Fleet Moving?

As a Diesel Technician, you'll be one of the first people called when a truck or tractor isn't performing the way it should.

You'll troubleshoot and repair diesel trucks, tractors, refrigeration units, trailers, brakes, powertrains, suspension systems, electrical and pneumatic systems, lift gates, and more. We're looking for someone who takes pride in diagnosing problems correctly, working safely, and making sure equipment is ready when drivers and operations need it.
