Diesel Powertrain Instructional Specialist

Diesel Powertrain Instructional Specialist Picture your day beginning in a bustling lab where engines hum and students are eager to learn. You open with a safety talk, then roll straight into a live demo—scanning codes, tracing faults, and bringing a heavy‑duty diesel back to peak performance.
