Your Mission:

• Perform critical safety inspections and maintenance on a huge fleet: medium/heavy-duty vehicles, construction equipment, fire apparatus, marine equipment, and light-duty trucks.
• Become a diagnostics wizard, tackling complex electrical systems and electronic components with cutting-edge tools.
• Master record-keeping to track mileage, parts, and work performed.
• Operate everything from forklifts to specialized diagnostic gear in a busy, safety-first shop environment.

What You'll Need to Bring:

• The Basics: A High School diploma/GED and solid experience as a skilled mechanic on a wide range of vehicles.
• The Hardware: A valid Class A Commercial Driver License (CDL) with a tanker endorsement and a nationally recognized Forklift Certification are required at hire.
