Diesel Technician

First Student is now hiring a Diesel Technician for our shop serving CREC Schools in East Hartford, CT.

If you enjoy solving problems, working with your hands, and being the person others count on to keep things running, this is a great opportunity to put your skills to work in a role that truly matters. Every safe, reliable bus on the road starts with a technician who pays attention to the details, takes pride in their craft, and understands the importance of keeping students moving safely.

As a Diesel Technician, you will help maintain and repair school buses that families, students, drivers, and school communities rely on every day. This is a hands-on, steady, MondayFriday role where your mechanical skills directly support safety, reliability, and peace of mind.

While First Student is North America's leading school transportation provider, our East Hartford team offers a local, close-knit shop environment where safety, teamwork, and pride in the work come first.

At First Student, our technicians do more than repair buses. They help protect students, support drivers, serve local schools, and keep the community moving.

If you are ready for steady hours, great support, career growth, and a role where your work truly matters, apply today to join our East Hartford maintenance team.

At First Student, we are a family of 60,000+ employees who take pride in safely transporting more than 5 million students and passengers to and from their destinations each day! Our family of brands include Transco, Total Transportation, Maggies Paratransit, and GVC II. Our employees are at the forefront of safety and innovation; they create and implement the most advanced training and technology the transportation industry has to offer.
