Job Description

OCTA is seeking skilled Mechanics to inspect, diagnose, maintain, and repair CNG, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery-electric transit buses. You'll troubleshoot mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems to keep our fleet running safely and efficiently.

The starting pay rate for this position is $33.87 an hour. Pay rate increases incrementally according to the union contract. Current top wage is $43.50 after 36 months.

Employees that work swing and graveyard shifts are eligible for a shift differential of 3% or 5% of their base pay, respectively. $3 more per hour can be obtained for completion and maintaining the H Series and L2 ASE certifications, with the potential to earn an extra $1 per hour for bidding into a Master Transit Bus Technician slot for a total of up to an extra $4 an hour on top of the base pay.

The position will remain open until filled.

What You'll Do

  • Inspect, diagnose, and repair mechanical defects on transit buses

  • Perform preventive maintenance, including tune-ups, brake service, and fluid checks

  • Service pneumatic, hydraulic, HVAC, cooling, steering, suspension, and fuel systems

  • Diagnose and repair electrical systems, alternators, wiring, and computer-controlled components

  • Use specialized tools, lifts, and diagnostic equipment safely

  • Perform brake relines and road tests to verify repair quality

  • Maintain accurate service records and a clean, safe work environment

  • Support and mentor apprentices or entry-level mechanics

What We're Looking For

  • High school diploma or GED

  • Three years of heavy equipment or automotive maintenance experience
    (OCTA Apprentice Mechanic program may substitute for experience; Completion of a certified automotive trade school or training program may be substituted for the equivalent experience on a year for year basis)

  • Experience with CNG and battery-electric vehicles is highly desirable

  • Ability to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair complex systems on modern transit buses

  • Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, follow instructions, and use diagnostic software

  • Ability to work various shifts and locations

  • Safe, reliable work practices and willingness to learn new technology

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Class B CA Driver License with passenger endorsement

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Work with advanced technologies including zero-emission and alternative-fuel systems

  • Opportunities for training, growth, and skill development

  • Contribute to a mission-driven agency that keeps Orange County moving

  • Supportive team environment with strong safety culture

  • Competitive pay and benefits, plus long-term career stability

Join a team where innovation, integrity, and strategic thinking are valued.

Apply now to help shape the future of OCTA's programs.
