What are the responsibilities and job description for the Roadside diesel tech position at Diesel Rescue 24 7?
Diesel Rescue 24/7 is looking for a dependable and skilled Mobile Roadside Diesel Technician based in or near Lebanon, Indiana.
This is not a traditional shop position. You will respond to commercial truck breakdowns throughout the Indianapolis–Lebanon–Lafayette corridor, diagnose problems in the field, and perform repairs necessary to get customers back on the road.
We are not necessarily looking for a 15-year master technician. We are looking for someone with solid heavy-duty mechanical experience who can work independently, troubleshoot common roadside problems, communicate well, and—most importantly—be dependable.
This position has strong earning potential, but it is not for everyone. Commercial roadside service includes nights, weekends, bad weather, and occasional middle-of-the-night calls. If you are scheduled/on-call and accept that responsibility, we expect you to be available when a customer needs us.
Responsibilities
Respond to mobile roadside service calls for Class 7–8 trucks and commercial vehicles
Diagnose common mechanical and electrical problems
Perform jump starts and battery replacements
Diagnose and replace starters and alternators
Repair air leaks, coolant leaks, hoses, belts and related components
Replace brake chambers and perform common air-brake repairs
Perform basic electrical diagnosis and repair
Complete minor mechanical and preventive-maintenance repairs
Communicate consistently with dispatch throughout service calls
Provide accurate repair findings, documentation and photographs when required
Maintain and properly care for company service vehicle, tools, equipment and inventory
Keep the service vehicle clean, organized and ready for service
Attend periodic company meetings, vehicle/equipment inspections and inventory checks, generally at our Northwest Indiana/Crown Point operations location
Maintain a professional attitude with customers, dispatch and management
What We're Looking For
Heavy-duty diesel/truck repair experience; 2 years preferred
Experience working with Class 7–8 trucks strongly preferred
Ability to independently handle common roadside repairs
Basic mechanical and electrical diagnostic ability
Strong work ethic and problem-solving skills
Dependability and willingness to respond to overnight/after-hours calls
Good communication and willingness to follow dispatch/check-in procedures
Professional attitude and ability to work as part of a team
Respect for company vehicles, tools and equipment
Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
Basic personal hand tools
Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
Compensation & Benefits
We believe good technicians should be paid well.
This position provides a guaranteed $1,200/week base salary plus commission and performance bonuses. A motivated technician who takes additional calls and performs well can earn significantly more, with potential annual compensation of $100,000 .
Company service vehicle, fuel, stocked inventory, specialty equipment and 24/7 dispatch support are provided.
Paid time off is available and will be discussed during the interview process.
We treat our technicians professionally and expect professionalism in return. Reliability, communication and attitude matter just as much to us as mechanical experience.
If you're a capable technician who wants responsibility, strong earning potential and an opportunity to grow with an expanding commercial roadside service company, we'd like to hear from you.
