Emergency Vehicle Mechanic

Job Description

Job Description

Mechanic / Diesel Mechanic $30–$45/hr+ DOE | Occasional Overnight Travel (All Expenses Covered)

If you’re an experienced mechanic who takes pride in keeping

mission‑critical vehicles running at their best, this is an opportunity to join

a team that supports first responders and public‑safety operations across the

Pacific Northwest. You’ll work with emergency‑response fleets that communities

rely on every day — equipment built for performance, reliability, and safety.

Your expertise directly contributes to ensuring these vehicles are ready when

they’re needed most.

This organization is known for delivering top‑tier service,

high‑quality workmanship, and unwavering support to emergency agencies of all

sizes — rural or urban, volunteer or professional. You’ll be part of a team

that values integrity, craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence.

What You’ll Do

You’ll perform a mix of in‑shop and mobile service work on

diesel trucks and fire apparatus, supporting departments throughout Oregon and

Washington.

• Conduct inspections, diagnostics, and repairs on diesel trucks and fire trucks, including engines, electrical systems, brakes, and hydraulics
• Perform mobile work such as PMs, repairs, and pump testing at fire stations across the region
• Complete routine maintenance: fluid changes, filter replacements, component inspections
• Repair or replace malfunctioning parts to manufacturer and industry standards
• Collaborate with teammates to troubleshoot complex mechanical and electrical issues
• Maintain accurate repair records, maintenance logs, and parts documentation
• Follow all safety protocols, regulations, and site requirements
• Perform safety inspections and prepare related documentation
• Support additional duties as needed to keep operations running smoothly

What You Bring

You’re the kind of mechanic who can diagnose issues quickly,

communicate clearly, and deliver high‑quality work that people can trust.

Top Qualifications

• 5+ years of mechanical experience, preferably diesel
• Strong diagnostic and problem‑solving skills
• Proficiency with diagnostic equipment, hand tools, and power tools
• Knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and brake systems
• Ability to read and interpret technical manuals and schematics
• Willingness to travel 2–3 nights per month (all expenses paid, company vehicle provided)
• Professionalism, reliability, and a commitment to safety

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Drawing from the organization’s mission and values:

• You support real‑world impact — your work keeps emergency vehicles ready for service, helping responders protect their communities
• A trusted regional leader — known for exceptional service, high‑quality equipment, and long‑standing partnerships across the Pacific Northwest
• Work with purpose‑built vehicles — including fire apparatus, rescue units, and specialized emergency equipment
• A culture built on integrity and service — technicians are respected for their expertise and supported with the tools they need
• Diverse customer base — from small rural districts to major metropolitan agencies
• Stable, growing environment — expanding capabilities and strong industry demand

This is a role where your mechanical skill truly matters —

and where you can build a long‑term career supporting equipment that saves

lives.

Compensation & Travel

• $30–$45/hr+ DOE
• Company‑paid travel (2–3 nights/month)
• Company vehicle and credit card provided for all travel
• Work that offers variety, independence, and meaningful impact
