Service Technician

Want to work on something a little more interesting than the same cars and trucks every day? At MacQueen , our technicians work on vehicles that aren't exactly standard. We're looking for an experienced Service Technician to diagnose, repair, and maintain specialized vehicles used by law enforcement and public safety agencies. These vehicles come with a lot more than four wheels and an engine. You'll work with complex electrical systems, specialty equipment, vehicle electronics, HVAC, braking and powertrain systems, and the unique components that turn a standard vehicle into a purpose-built piece of equipment. If you're a strong automotive or truck technician who enjoys troubleshooting, electrical work, and figuring out the problems that aren't always obvious—we should talk. What's in the Shop No two vehicles—or days—will necessarily look the same. You'll have the opportunity to work on: Law enforcement vehicles Specialty and purpose-built vehicles Vehicle electrical and electronic systems Braking and powertrain systems Heating and air conditioning On-board specialty equipment Computer diagnostics and programming Factory warranty repairs Complex electrical and mechanical troubleshooting This is a great opportunity for a technician who likes the diagnostic side of the job and wants to expand their skills beyond traditional automotive repair.

You don't necessarily need experience working specifically on law enforcement vehicles. We can teach you the specialty equipment. We need you to bring the strong mechanical and diagnostic foundation. Ideally, you'll have: 3+ years of professional automotive, truck, fleet, diesel, or equipment technician experience Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities A solid understanding of gasoline and diesel engines Strong vehicle electrical experience—we really like people who aren't afraid of wiring Experience with HVAC, braking, and powertrain diagnosis and repair Ability to read wiring diagrams, schematics, technical manuals, and service information Comfort working with diagnostic software and learning new technology Strong attention to detail and pride in doing quality work A valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record Experience with law enforcement vehicles, vehicle upfitting, emergency lighting, specialty electronics, fleet vehicles, or aftermarket equipment is a plus. What's In It For You? Because there's more out there than doing brake jobs and oil changes all day. You’ll get exposure to specialized vehicles, unique equipment, challenging electrical and diagnostic work, and ongoing technical training—all while supporting the law enforcement and public safety professionals who rely on these vehicles to do their jobs. If you're the tech everyone hands the weird electrical problem to because they know you'll eventually figure it out, we definitely want to talk to you. Are you ready to work on something different?
