Field Heavy‑Duty Diesel Service Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Own the open road across Reno as our go‑to field technician

Picture your day: the sun hits the high desert, a dispatch pings your tablet, and you roll out in a company‑provided service truck to a downed tractor‑trailer on I‑80. You arrive calm, triage the issue, tap into vehicle electronics and computer controls, trace a hydraulic or air fault, and get a professional driver rolling again—safely and fast. Between calls, you coordinate with service management on parts, keep your truck stocked, and document each repair with precision. You follow every safety step and DOT regulation without compromise. That’s the rhythm—independent, efficient, accountable—serving Reno, NV and the surrounding region.

If you need constant supervision or tend to struggle when working solo, this isn’t the right role.

• Perform field inspections and clearly document findings
• Communicate status and parts needs with service management
• Maintain your service truck, tools, and on‑hand inventory
• Adhere to all safety procedures and DOT regulations
• Complete accurate, timely work orders

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience repairing heavy‑duty trucks or equipment
• Proven diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities
• Self‑directed; thrives with minimal supervision
• Valid driver’s license (CDL preferred)
• Clean driving record
• Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
• Reliable, accountable, and professional demeanor
