Engine

Technician – Full Time We are seeking an experienced Engine Technician who can accurately diagnose, repair, and rebuild heavy-duty diesel engines. This position requires strong fault-code/electrical diagnostics, mechanical troubleshooting, precision overhaul skills and experience with CAT, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and PACCAR engine platforms.

Engine faults are diagnosed accurately using OEM information, scan tools, testing procedures, and sound mechanical judgment.

Work is completed efficiently, documented clearly, and verified before the unit is returned to service. Developing technicians receive patient, practical mentoring that improves their technical ability and workmanship.
