Job Description

Job Description

Brown Motors is expanding its commercial and heavy-duty service operation and hiring Heavy-Duty / Diesel Technicians to support a rapidly growing Ford and Stellantis fleet business. Based in northern Michigan, Brown Motors has served the community since 1898 and recently completed a 15,000 sq ft expansion dedicated to commercial and heavy-duty service.

The expansion includes brand-new heavy-duty bays, upgraded tooling, and an expanded parts warehouse. Technicians work in a purpose-built environment designed to support productivity, safety, and long-term success.

The schedule is Monday through Friday with some Saturdays as needed. No Sundays. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.

Additional $2.00 per flat rate hour for heavy-duty and commercial truck work

Productivity bonuses up to $6.00 per flat rate hour at 60+ flagged hours
