• Job Security: Essential services mean steady, bulletproof career stability year-round.

What You'll Be Doing (The Core Role)

• Command the Shop Floor: Lead, mentor, and motivate a team of skilled mechanics to keep productivity high and downtime low.


• Master the Fleet: Oversee preventive maintenance schedules, complex diagnostics, and major repair workflows for heavy trucks and equipment.


• Safety First, Always: Enforce top-tier safety standards, daily shop protocols, and OSHA compliance so everyone goes home safe every night.


• Ops & Asset Optimization: Track parts inventory, manage work orders, and coordinate repair priorities directly with fleet management.


• Build Great Culture: Cultivate a high-performing shop environment where team members learn, grow, and take pride in their work.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Leadership: 3+ years of experience supervising or leading a team in a heavy-duty diesel, fleet, or mechanical maintenance environment.


• Technical Mastery: Deep hands-on knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulic systems, electrical diagnostics, and heavy equipment repairs.


• Problem-Solver Mindset: Outstanding organization and time-management skills with the ability to prioritize urgent repairs on the fly.


• Communication Skills: Ability to effectively bridge the gap between shop mechanics, operations drivers, and management teams.


• CDL Preferred: A valid Class A or B Commercial Driver's License is a huge plus (or the willingness to obtain one with our support).
