  • Company-Paid Protection - Life Insurance and Long-Term Disability included at no cost
  • Optional Benefits - Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending Accounts, and Short-Term Disability
  • Secure Your Future - 401(k) with company match
  • Hands-On Training - Develop your knowledge of commercial vehicles, DOT regulations, inspection procedures, and safety systems

What You'll Do
  • Perform safety inspections on new and used commercial motor vehicles and trailers in accordance with federal regulations, state law, and Mercer requirements
  • Ensure trucks and trailers operated by Mercer contractors are safe and DOT compliant
  • Maintain responsibility for the quality, accuracy, and thoroughness of each inspection
  • Install Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and dash cameras in commercial motor vehicles
  • Maintain inventory of ELDs and dash cameras and prepare equipment for installation
  • Enter inspection information and maintain accurate inspection and maintenance records
  • Conduct truck inspection orientations for new contractors, agents, and employees
  • Notify contractors of inspection results and available repair options when deficiencies are identified
  • Receive and audit copies of roadside DOT inspections, complete required documentation, and distribute records to the appropriate state agency and internal department
  • Support drivers throughout the orientation process and for the duration of their relationship with Mercer
  • Coordinate with recruiters, contractors, and internal departments to maintain complete and accurate driver files
  • Stay current on DOT safety regulations, truck maintenance practices, systems, and procedures
  • Identify opportunities to improve inspection processes and implement practical solutions

Who You Are
  • Detail-oriented and committed to completing accurate, thorough inspections
  • Mechanically inclined with a general understanding of cars, trucks, or commercial equipment
  • Organized and able to manage multiple drivers, inspections, projects, and records at once
  • Able to follow established procedures and maintain consistent follow-through
  • Comfortable making independent decisions and using sound judgment to address maintenance and compliance concerns
  • Strong communicator who can clearly explain inspection results and requirements in person, by phone, and in writing
  • Responsive to driver needs while maintaining safety and compliance standards
  • Comfortable working in varied weather conditions, including heat, cold, and wind

  • High School Diploma or equivalent required
  • Valid driver's license required
  • Mechanical knowledge of diesel-powered commercial vehicles is a plus
  • Previous inspection experience-including automotive, home, structural, mechanical, or electrical inspections-is a plus

Why Mercer
