Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems Technician

Empire Workforce Solutions

Job Description

Job Description

Step into the shop in Channahon, IL

Your day starts with a quick huddle, a look over the job board, and a first pass with your diagnostic tools. You move from a scheduled preventive maintenance on a tractor to a trailer with a tricky electrical fault, then wrap up with a DOT inspection—each task documented precisely so the team and our clients know exactly what was done.

What you’ll tackle in a typical day
  • Perform hands-on maintenance and repairs on diesel engines and connected systems to keep equipment running at peak performance.
  • Use advanced diagnostic software and testing procedures to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues on tractors and trailers.
  • Complete DOT inspections in alignment with FMCSA regulations.
  • Carry out preventive maintenance across our fleet of trucks and trailers.
  • Maintain meticulous service records and repair documentation.
  • Order parts for the shop and ensure the right components are on hand.
  • Partner with the Shop Service Manager on leadership activities and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Collaborate with teammates to streamline processes and enhance service delivery.
  • Communicate clearly with customers about findings, repair options, and recommendations.
  • Stay current with evolving diesel technologies and industry best practices.
What you bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical training in diesel mechanics preferred.
  • 3+ years of experience as a Diesel Technician or in a closely related role.
  • Deep understanding of diesel engine components, systems, and related technologies.
  • Proficiency with diagnostic tools, software, and standard testing equipment.
  • Strong problem-solving ability and a sharp attention to detail.
  • Comfort working both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
Why you’ll thrive here

You’ll be part of a supportive environment where your expertise is respected, your ideas are heard, and your craftsmanship directly improves fleet reliability and customer satisfaction.
