Diesel Technician

Job Description

Job Description

If you can diagnose a stubborn engine by sound alone and treat a torque wrench like an extension of your own arm, we have a bay with your name on it. American Fleet & Equipment in Sulphur, Louisiana is looking for a diesel professional who would rather fix the problem than explain why it happened.

This is hands-on, grease-under-the-fingernails work for someone who enjoys solving mechanical mysteries. As our newest diesel technician, you will keep heavy-duty trucks and fleet equipment running reliably mile after mile, and you'll do it with the kind of precision that keeps customers coming back.

• Diagnose, repair, and maintain diesel engines, transmissions, and drivetrain components on commercial and fleet vehicles.
• Perform preventive maintenance, inspections, and scheduled servicing to head off breakdowns before they start.
• Troubleshoot electrical, hydraulic, brake, and emissions systems using both diagnostic equipment and old-fashioned know-how.
• Read and interpret technical manuals, wiring diagrams, and service bulletins without breaking a sweat.
• Document work accurately, order parts as needed, and keep repair records tidy enough to find twice.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area, because a sharp technician keeps a sharp shop.

We want a technician who takes pride in doing the job right the first time and isn't afraid to get elbow-deep in an engine to make it happen.

• Proven experience repairing diesel engines and heavy-duty equipment, ideally in a fleet or commercial setting.
• Solid understanding of hydraulic, electrical, and emissions systems found in modern trucks.
• Comfort with computerized diagnostic tools alongside hand and power tools of the trade.
• A valid driver's license; a commercial license is a welcome bonus.
• The physical stamina to lift, bend, and maneuver in and around large equipment throughout the day.
• Strong attention to detail and the communication skills to explain repairs in plain English.

Formal training or certification in diesel technology, brake systems, or electrical repair is a definite plus. A seasoned technician who mentors less experienced teammates and keeps a cool head when a rig rolls in on a deadline will thrive here. If you treat every repair like your own name is riding on it, you'll fit right in.

7:30AM-4:30PM Monday-Friday.
