Heavy‑Duty Diesel Powertrain & Trailer Systems Technician

DTR Services
Lenexa, KS Other
POSTED ON 8/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/7/2026
Picture Your Day in Lenexa, KS

You clock in, scan the work orders, and roll your toolbox toward the first bay. A tractor comes in for a scheduled PM—fluids, filters, brake inspection. After lunch, you tackle a rough‑idle complaint on a diesel powertrain: scan codes, trace wiring, verify fuel pressure, road test. Before the day wraps, you adjust a trailer’s suspension ride height and replace a worn brake chamber—then button everything up, document your work, and leave the bay spotless. That’s a typical rhythm here.

What You’ll Handle
  • Routine maintenance and corrective repairs on semi‑trailers and diesel engines.
  • Hands‑on diagnostics to pinpoint mechanical issues and implement durable fixes.
  • Inspections and functional tests of braking, steering, and suspension systems.
  • Clear, accurate documentation of services, parts used, and test results.
  • Close coordination with teammates to move work orders across the finish line on time.
  • Continuous learning to stay current with diesel technology and trailer systems.
  • Strict adherence to safety procedures and housekeeping standards in the shop.
What You Bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent; a technical program in diesel technology is preferred.
  • Proven experience as a diesel mechanic (or closely related role).
  • In‑depth knowledge of diesel engines and semi‑trailer components/systems.
  • Ability to read and apply service manuals, diagrams, and schematics.
  • Sharp troubleshooting instincts and meticulous attention to detail.
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
  • Comfort working independently as well as within a team environment.
  • Schedule flexibility, including occasional weekends when needed.
Why You’ll Like It Here

We’re a tight‑knit, safety‑first shop where quality work is recognized and teamwork matters. If you love solving mechanical problems and seeing your repairs roll safely back onto the road, you’ll feel right at home.
