- Technical Skills:
- Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills for diesel engines, transmissions, and vehicle systems.
- Proficiency with diagnostic software and using a laptop for manuals.
- Experience with aftertreatment systems and electrical diagnostics.
- Comfortable with MIG welding is a plus.
- Certifications & Training:
- A minimum of two ASE Certifications within the first 6 months of employment (we'll reimburse you!).
- T-series ASE Certifications are highly valued.
- Requirements:
- A valid Driver's License with clean driving record
- Ability to perform physical tasks associated with vehicle maintenance (lifting, bending, etc.).
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality workmanship.
- A solid attendance record and punctuality are essential for this role.
