If you’re ready to bring your tools, your talent, and your drive to a team that actually appreciates your expertise, we want to talk to you!

We are looking for a skilled Diesel Mechanic to keep our fleet of heavy-duty diesel trucks, CNG, gas, and electrically operated equipment running smoothly and safely across Eastern North Carolina.

• Community Impact: We keep our communities moving forward, and we can’t do it without you.

What You’ll Do (The Fun Stuff):

• Play Doctor to Big Rigs: Diagnose, repair, and rebuild heavy-duty diesel trucks and rolling stock. You’re the expert who keeps our wheels turning.
