Job Description
Diesel Mechanic – Heavy Fleet & Equipment
#IND123
$30.00–$35.00 per Hour (DOE)
Full-Time
Join a Professional Fleet Maintenance Team
We are seeking an experienced Diesel Mechanic with a strong background in fleet maintenance, heavy trucks, industrial equipment, or construction equipment.
This is NOT an entry-level automotive technician position. We are looking for mechanics who have diagnosed and repaired complex diesel systems in a commercial fleet, heavy equipment, transportation, industrial, or construction environment.
If your experience is primarily limited to passenger vehicle dealerships, this position is likely not the right fit.
Responsibilities
- Diagnose and repair diesel engines using electronic diagnostic software and scan tools
- Troubleshoot electrical, hydraulic, fuel, air, cooling, and emissions systems
- Perform advanced engine diagnostics and electronic fault tracing
- Repair hydraulic pumps, cylinders, valves, hoses, and related components
- Diagnose CAN Bus and electronic control systems
- Perform preventative maintenance and major component repairs
- Repair brakes, steering, suspension, driveline, transmissions, and HVAC systems
- Read wiring diagrams, service manuals, and diagnostic flow charts
- Document repairs and communicate findings professionally
- Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area
Qualifications
Required
- 5+ years of diesel mechanic experience in a fleet, heavy equipment, industrial, trucking, or construction environment
- Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities
- Experience with computerized diagnostic software
- Hydraulic troubleshooting and repair experience
- Electrical diagnosis experience
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Valid driver's license
- Reliable transportation
- TWIC Card (or ability to obtain one)
- Must be DISA drug screen eligible
Preferred
- ASE Medium/Heavy Truck Certifications
- Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit, Paccar, International, Volvo, Mack, or similar OEM experience
We Are Looking For Someone Who Can
- Solve problems—not just replace parts
- Diagnose difficult electrical and hydraulic failures
- Keep fleet equipment operating safely and efficiently
- Work with urgency while maintaining quality workmanship
- Take pride in doing the job right the first time
Compensation & Benefits
- $30.00–$40.00 per hour depending on experience
- Full-time, stable employment
- Opportunity to work on a wide variety of commercial diesel equipment
- Professional work environment
- Overtime opportunities available

If you have the experience to diagnose and repair commercial diesel equipment—not just perform routine maintenance—we want to hear from you.
