  • Support powertrain reliability by inspecting/replacing basic engine components and performing transmission, clutch (R&R), and driveline work.
  • Refresh steering and chassis components to maintain handling performance.
  • Contribute to other shop tasks as assigned to keep the workflow smooth.
What you’ll need
  • High school diploma or GED and at least 3 years of mechanic experience.
  • Eligibility and commitment to obtain a CDL within 6 months of hire.
  • Your own tool set and steel toe boots.
  • A valid driver’s license.
Your toolbox of skills
  • Diesel Engine Systems
  • Brake & Suspension Systems
  • Brakes
  • Electrical / Electronic Systems
  • Engine Performance

Rewards & benefits
  • Competitive hourly pay: $31–$37 depending on experience.
  • Multiple medical and ancillary benefit options for full-time employees—choose what fits your life.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Day-one membership in the LAUNCH Loyalty Club for extra cash bonuses, apparel, and safety rewards.
  • Reach out to learn about eligibility for travel expense reimbursement, bonuses, and fixed-rate incentive opportunities.
