Ready to work where the job description includes boats, fire trucks, and heavy-duty construction beasts?

If you love variety, problem-solving, and getting your hands dirty with purpose, this is the gig for you!

Your Mission:

Perform critical safety inspections and maintenance on a huge fleet: medium/heavy-duty vehicles, construction equipment, fire apparatus, marine equipment, and light-duty trucks.
Become a diagnostics wizard, tackling complex electrical systems and electronic components with cutting-edge tools.
Master record-keeping to track mileage, parts, and work performed.
Operate everything from forklifts to specialized diagnostic gear in a busy, safety-first shop environment.

What You'll Need to Bring:

The Basics: A High School diploma/GED and solid experience as a skilled mechanic on a wide range of vehicles.
