Brake and Alignment Specialist

Description:

  Vital Medical Transport | Memphis, TN | Full-Time

We're looking for a Lead Fleet Technician who's as comfortable turning a wrench as they are running a shop — someone who can dig into a diagnostic, keep a small team on track, and make sure our fleet is always ready to answer the next call. 

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll spend most of your day doing the mechanical work yourself — troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining ambulances and support vehicles — while also directing the shop's day-to-day priorities and mentoring other mechanics. 

What You'll Do 

• Perform hands-on diagnostics, repair, and preventive maintenance on ambulances and fleet vehicles — engines, brakes, transmissions, suspension, electrical, HVAC, and more 
• Troubleshoot and coordinate installation of specialty equipment (oxygen/medical air systems, radios, GPS, cameras, mounts) 
• Assign and prioritize repair work for the maintenance team and provide technical guidance to mechanics 
• Respond to vehicle breakdowns and get vehicles back in service quickly and safely 
• Manage relationships with dealers, specialty shops, and outside vendors when work needs to be outsourced 
• Keep maintenance records, parts inventory, and shop equipment organized and accurate 
• Maintain a clean, safe, well-run shop and lead by example on safety practices 

  What You Bring 

• At least 4 years of experience as a mechanic, including gas and diesel engines, suspension, steering, and brakes 
• Must have EVT or ASE Certifications 
• Your own set of basic automotive tools 
• A clean driving record 
• Comfort working independently, managing multiple jobs at once, and making good calls without someone standing over your shoulder 
• Basic computer skills for maintenance records and documentation 

Good to Know 

• Ability to lift up to 250 lbs with a partner and handle physical work including walking, crawling, and kneeling 
• Must pass a post-offer physical, drug screen, and background check;
• This role reports to the Fleet Manager 

Why Vital Medical Transport 

If you like variety, want real ownership over how a shop runs, and take pride in a job done right, we'd like to talk.
