- Perform advanced diagnostics, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair on heavy-duty waste collection vehicles and related equipment.
- Diagnose engine, electrical, emissions, hydraulic, transmission, brake, aftertreatment, and drivetrain issues using appropriate diagnostic tools and software.

- Troubleshoot electrical systems, wiring, sensors, modules, charging systems, starting systems, and communication faults.

- Respond to breakdowns and assist with emergency repairs when necessary.
- Review recurring equipment failures and help develop corrective maintenance strategies.
- Work closely with operations to minimize downtime and return equipment to service quickly and safely.
- Maintain accurate maintenance records, repair documentation, parts usage, and work-order information.
- Help maintain a clean, safe, organized, and efficient shop environment.
- Promote a strong safety culture and ensure repairs are completed correctly-not simply quickly.
- Advanced diesel diagnostic and troubleshooting experience is REQUIRED.
- Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex mechanical problems rather than relying solely on component replacement.
- Proficiency with computerized diesel diagnostic software and scan tools.
- Strong knowledge of heavy-duty electrical systems and ability to read wiring diagrams and electrical schematics.
- Experience diagnosing diesel engine and emissions/aftertreatment systems.
- Strong knowledge of hydraulic systems and hydraulic troubleshooting.

- Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on heavy-duty diesel maintenance and repair experience preferred.
- Previous experience working on waste hauling, refuse, recycling, roll-off, front-load, rear-load, side-load, or similar vocational trucks strongly preferred.
