Job Description

Job Description

Your craft keeps students moving

Picture this: a vehicle rolls in after a morning route with a driver-reported electrical fault. You hook up modern diagnostic tools, trace the issue through wiring and modules, complete the repair, and verify the fix on a post-service test drive. Later, you assist on a transmission rebuild, document every part and minute used, arrange the required inspection, and then head out for a road call to get a vehicle safely back in service. That’s impact.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose and repair medium-duty fleet vehicles across steering, electrical, cooling, lubrication, braking, drivetrains, suspensions, power steering units, clutches, and transmissions—meeting all applicable Federal, State/Provincial, and local requirements.
• Assist with major component rebuilds (engines, transmissions, differentials) as assigned by the manager.
• Execute preventive maintenance, perform test drives during PMs to investigate driver-reported issues, and confirm repairs with post-service road tests.
• Arrange for inspections and obtain approvals for major repairs before vehicles are released.
• Record time, parts, and services on the appropriate forms; flag additional repair needs, including work requiring higher-qualification technicians.
• Respond to road calls and complete on-the-road repairs when assigned.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and efficient work area and immediately advise the Lead Technician of any unsafe conditions, practices, or vehicle abuse.
• Work the assigned shift and overtime as needed (AM/PM).

About You

• 2–4 years of experience as a medium/heavy truck fleet technician.
• Expertise in diagnostics, electrical, and AC systems.
• Strong grasp of major vehicle systems and diesel equipment; experience with both diesel and gasoline systems.
• Equipped with the recommended minimum hand tools for a Diesel Technician.
• Exercise solid judgment and make clear, timely decisions.

Preferred Credentials

• Valid applicable state driver’s license (CDL preferred).
• ASE certifications desirable but not required.
• Experience working on Ford commercial vehicles.
