Dean McCrary Mazda; Mobile (AL); Hybrid; USD 70,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Dean McCrary Mazda is seeking a master technician with advanced diagnostic experience to work on drivability, electrical, and network faults. You will handle hybrids and plug-in hybrids, using Mazda diagnostic tools and official information to diagnose and repair complex issues.

The role emphasizes depth over volume, with opportunities to mentor junior technicians and contribute to continuous improvement within a franchised Mazda shop.

Qualifications

• A-level diagnostic experience in a dealership or a serious independent shop.
• Comfort with the manufacturer’s diagnostic information and scan equipment.
• High-voltage experience is important due to hybrid and plug-in hybrid Mazda models.

Responsibilities

• Perform diagnostics on drivability, electrical and network faults, including intermittents that require a method over guesswork.
• Handle hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems and the repairs that flow from them.
• Be the point person other technicians ask questions of, acting as a mentor on the shop floor.

Job description

The bench the hard tickets end up at. Drivability, electrical and electrified powertrain work on one manufacturer’s vehicles.

A master technician is the shop’s last word on a fault. The tickets that reach that bench are the ones nobody else could close.

What the Work Is

Diagnostics on drivability, electrical and network faults, intermittents that need a method rather than a guess, hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems, and the repairs that come out of all of it. You also become the person other technicians ask, which is part of the job rather than a favour.

What You Bring

A-level diagnostic experience in a dealership or a serious independent shop. Comfort with the manufacturer’s diagnostic information and scan equipment. High-voltage experience matters here, because the current Mazda range includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid models.

Who It Suits

Somebody who wants the difficult work rather than the volume. On a single-franchise drive the difficult work is concentrated on one manufacturer’s systems, which is either exactly what you want or exactly what you do not.

Want to see where the work happens before you ask about a role?

Diagnostics on one manufacturer’s vehicles

Depth and breadth pull against each other in this trade. A franchised shop gives you depth: the same architectures, the manufacturer’s own diagnostic information, and enough repetition that an intermittent fault is one you have met before rather than one you are meeting for the first time.

Hybrid and plug-in hybrid work

The current Mazda lineup includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, so high-voltage work is part of the shop rather than a specialism kept at arm’s length. If that is where you want your experience to go, say so in the form.

Role Questions

Do I need Mazda-specific certification?

Brand experience is useful rather than required. Tell us what you hold and what you have diagnosed, and the service department will pick the conversation up from there.

Would I be mentoring other technicians?

In practice, yes — the senior bench is where the rest of the shop takes a question. Whether that suits you is worth saying out loud when we talk.

Is there high-voltage work here?

Yes. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are part of the current Mazda range, so they are part of the shop’s work.

What does this role pay, and what does it come with?

That is a conversation rather than a line on a web page, and it depends on the role and on your experience. We would rather discuss it properly than publish something that turns out not to apply to you.
