About the Traveling Diesel Mechanic/Technician Role

As a Traveling Diesel Mechanic/Technician, you’ll be the expert our customers rely on to keep their fleets on the road. This field-based role is perfect for skilled technicians who enjoy independence and variety in their work. You’ll be responsible for performing preventative maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs on light and medium-duty vehicles, including emergency roadside service when needed.

This position includes regular out-of-state travel to support customer fleets in markets across our service areas. Assignments may involve overnight stays, sometimes for several days at a time, depending on customer needs. Travel expenses, including lodging, meals, and mileage, are covered by the company. Candidates should be comfortable spending extended time on the road and adapting to new work sites, teams, and schedules.

Ideally, the candidate will be located out of the southern California area.

• Perform onsite preventative maintenance, DOT inspections and follow up repairs to light and medium duty vehicles in a mobile field environment.
• Handle emergency road service calls with confidence and urgency.
• Respond to dispatch requests for scheduled and unscheduled service or maintenance.
• Diagnose and repair electrical, brake, cooling, and air systems - everything that keeps a fleet running strong.
• Use advanced diagnostic tools, including handheld computers and precision instruments, to identify and fix issues fast.
• Put your expertise to work using hand tools, power tools, and welding equipment to get the job done right.
• Road test vehicles to ensure every repair meets top-quality standards.
• Stay productive and efficient, meeting or beating industry-standard repair times.
• Work with trusted vendors to source parts and keep operations moving.
• Take ownership of a company-issued service truck, perform maintenance and pre- and post-trip inspections, and ensuring safety compliance.
• Jump in wherever needed – we're a team that supports each other.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• At least 5 years of hands-on auto or diesel tech experience working on light to medium duty vehicles.
• Strong communication skills – you know how to connect and communicate with customers and drivers alike.
• Comfortable using mobile apps, navigation systems and digital tools to stay organized and document repairs.
• Ready for the outdoors – rain or shine at customer yards.
• Independent, dependable, and self-motivated – you take pride in getting the job done right.
• A positive attitude and safety-first mindset.
• Must be 23+ with a clean driving record and a valid driver’s license.
• Bring your own hand tools and we’ll supply everything else.

Work Environment

• Work in dynamic, high-traffic areas – safety and precision are key.
• Expect exposure to dust, diesel fumes, and noise typical of a shop or yard environment.
• Safely handle chemicals, oils, and grease as part of repair work.
• Be ready to lift, move, and position heavy equipment or components.
• Stay active – you'll bend, kneel, crawl, and crouch to access vehicle components.
• Work outdoors in all weather conditions – rain or shine, our team gets it done.
