Job Details
About the Role:
This is a senior-level Diesel Mechanic position focused on advanced diagnostics, complex repairs, and fleet reliability across vacuum trucks and hydro excavation equipment.
You'll be the go-to resource for troubleshooting hydraulics, PTO-driven systems, and specialized equipment, while helping drive shop performance and uptime across the operation.
What You'll Be Doing
Advanced Diagnostics & Repairs
Diagnose and repair diesel engines, electrical systems, hydraulics, PTOs, pumps, and vacuum/blower systems
Perform root cause troubleshooting, not just component replacement
Ensure all units meet DOT compliance standards prior to rental
Manage and resolve complex mechanical issues across the fleet
Fleet Management & Oversight
Own PM schedules, inspections, and fleet readiness
Review and approve Check-In / Check-Out inspections
Assess and document damage, repair scope, and timelines
Maintain accurate records in Fleetio or equivalent systems
Shop Leadership & Planning
Support execution of the Plan of the Day / Plan of the Week
Adjust priorities based on fleet demand and downtime needs
Identify training gaps and guide technicians
Assist in maintaining shop standards and workflow efficiency
Parts, Tools & Cost Management
Manage parts inventory and proactively order materials
Balance repair quality, speed, and cost efficiency
Ensure tools and equipment are maintained and used properly
Safety & Compliance (Safety-Sensitive Role)
Operate vehicles in full compliance with DOT and federal regulations
Maintain valid CDL and DOT medical certification
Conduct DOT inspections and ensure documentation accuracy
Enforce and model all safety procedures and policies
Customer & Operations Support
Provide equipment training to customers and team members
Support field or delivery needs when required
Represent the company professionally in all interactions
What We're Looking For
5-10+ years of diesel / heavy equipment experience
Strong background in hydraulics, PTO systems, and advanced diagnostics
Experience with vacuum trucks, pumps, or similar equipment preferred
CDL required
Ability to work independently and lead when needed
Why This Role Stands Out
Work on specialized equipment (vac/hydro systems) - not repetitive fleet work
High-impact role directly tied to fleet uptime and performance
Backed by a growing, PE-supported platform with long-term stability
Opportunity to step into lead mechanic or shop leadership roles
