Diesel Mechanic

Job Overview

This diesel mechanic position is for someone who prefers turning wrenches over sitting at a desk. You'll diagnose and repair heavy duty trucks and equipment, keeping them on the road and running right. The shop is in Fresno, CA, and you'll be working with a mix of fleet vehicles and contractor rigs.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Perform routine maintenance like oil changes, brake jobs, and tire rotations on diesel engines.
• Troubleshoot complex electrical, hydraulic, and fuel system faults using diagnostic software.
• Complete major repairs, including engine overhauls, transmission rebuilds, and aftertreatment system service.
• Write clear repair orders and document all work performed for parts inventory and billing.
• Conduct final road tests to verify repairs meet safety and performance standards before releasing vehicles.

Requirements

• A solid grasp of diesel engine theory, hydraulics, and modern electronic control systems.
• At least 3 years of hands on experience working on Class 6 8 trucks or similar heavy equipment.
• A valid driver's license; a CDL or ASE certifications are a major plus but not always required upfront.
• The physical ability to lift 50+ pounds, work in awkward positions, and handle the demands of a shop floor all day.

What It's Like in This Role

The shop is loud, sometimes messy, and full of interesting problems to solve. You'll have your own bay but won't be alone; you can bounce ideas off the other mechanics when you hit a snag. Most days you're using everything from basic hand tools to OEM specific diagnostic laptops. Expect a steady flow of work; some days you'll knock out several PMs, others you'll be deep into one stubborn repair for hours.
