Diesel Mechanic​/Technician - Experienced

What’s the Job?

Ready to move your career forward? As an experienced Technician at Penske, you’ll do exactly that. You’ll perform preventative maintenance and repairs on the newest and best‑maintained fleet of vehicles in the industry, helping our customers keep their vehicles in shape and on the road.

As a Technician I, you are a respected, experienced lead at your location—a master technician. You set an example, informally mentor others while learning from your manager, and are trusted to work independently on major and minor repairs, conduct road tests to diagnose problems, and complete maintenance tasks.

Why is this job awesome? Your skills and experience are recognized. You’ll work on various types of equipment, not just one manufacturer, and you’ll have the time needed to do the job right. Safety and reliability are our top priorities. The company will teach you about our maintenance processes and cutting‑edge technology, and provide ongoing training to advance your career.
