This role is a hands-on diesel technician position at Kriete Truck Centers, working on heavy-duty commercial trucks. You will diagnose, repair, and maintain diesel engines and related systems, working as part of a dealership service team. Success looks like accurate, efficient repairs that keep trucks on the road and customers satisfied. The work is shop-based and involves using both hand tools and diagnostic equipment. People who thrive here are detail-oriented, take ownership of their work, and are comfortable working in a fast-paced service environment.
A good day in this job
“Bay is loaded by 6:30 and the first trucks roll before the office lights come on.”
“One truck a week fights back, and cracking it before lunch is the best feeling in the shop.”
“End of shift the board is clear, the line is rolling, and that was you.”
The hard parts, stated
Winters in the bay are cold, and about one Saturday a month is yours.
Every job has them. This company says theirs out loud, so you can decide with open eyes.
