Job description

Heavy-Duty Diesel Technician Level 2

The Opportunity:

Looking for a shop where good work gets noticed and skilled techs have a real path forward? The Service Company has been family-owned since 1978, and we've grown into one of the region's go-to names in heavy-duty truck repair - with locations across Ohio. We didn't get here by accident. We got here by investing in our people.

We're hiring an experienced Diesel Technician at our Columbus location to join a crew that takes pride in the work and looks out for each other. If you've got a couple of years of wrench time and you're ready to grow - we want to talk.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Independent Wrenching: Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair advanced air systems (compressors, dryers, valves), HVAC systems, and steering components.
• Bolt-On Components: Manifolds, turbos, water pumps, fan drives, and air compressors.
• Inspections & Alignments: Federal DOT inspections and accurate alignments using our shop equipment.
• Electrical Troubleshooting: Tracking down starting and charging issues - alternators, batteries, starters.
• Primary Systems: Brakes, wheel-end assemblies, drivelines, suspensions, and tire service.

Where This Role Can Take You:

We're not looking to plug a seat. We're looking for someone who wants to build something here. That means:

• Skill Development: Ongoing training on the systems and equipment you work with every day - and the new ones coming down the pike.
• Advancement Paths: Lead technician, shop foreman, specialty diagnostic roles, training roles - we promote from within whenever we can.
• Cross-Location Exposure: With multiple shops across the region, there's room to grow geographically too, if that's what you want.
• A Voice That Matters: Our best ideas come from the bay floor. We listen.

What You Bring:

• Experience: At least 2 years of hands-on work on heavy-duty trucks.
• Technical Skills for L2: Experience with brakes, wheel ends, suspension, driveline, air systems, electrical, HVAC, steering, and bolt-on engine components.
• Credentials: Valid driver's license and a High School diploma (or equivalent). CDL is a plus.
• The Right Mindset: Proactive problem-solver, takes pride in the work, communicates clearly, manages time well.
• Physical Capability: Standing, bending, and lifting up to 50 lbs in a busy shop environment.

Why Work With Us:

• First Shift
• No Weekends!
• Tech Productivity Bonus paid Monthly (and it's real- the majority of our techs reach this every month!)
• Paid Vacation available Day 1
• Health insurance for you AND your family
• Holiday Pay
• IRA retirement plan with company match
• A family-owned company that's been in business since 1978 - stable, growing, and reinvesting in our people
• A team environment where quality work actually matters, and where the path forward is real
