Experience: 1+ years of entry-level mechanical experience or heavy equipment/automotive fleet maintenance.
Safety First: Working knowledge of DOT, OSHA, and state/federal safety regulations.
Tools & Tech: Computer literate, eager to learn diagnostic software, and comfortable reading service manuals and procedures.
Driver’s License: Valid driver's license required. Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is preferred (or the drive to obtain one within your first 6 months!).
Certifications: ASE certifications are a major plus!
Mindset: Strong communication skills, a team-first attitude, and a continuous desire to learn and master advanced diagnostics.
