What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Diesel Technician position at El Pollo Loco, Inc.?

Senior Diesel Technician Opportunity Summary

Pay range includes incentives

We are seeking two to three highly skilled, proven Senior Diesel Technicians (Journeyman / Tech 1). As a Senior Diesel Technician at W.W. Williams, you will be the tech the shop calls when nobody else can find it: owning the hardest diagnostic work in the building, getting repairs right the first time, and helping junior technicians grow. This is a full-time, day-shift, on-site position.

Must Have

This is not an entry-level job. If you’re still building your skills, please apply to our Diesel Technician posting instead.

  • 7 years as a journeyman / Tech 1 on Class 6–8 trucks.
  • ASE Medium/Heavy Truck certified (full T2–T8 series).
  • OEM certifications: Detroit (DTNA), Allison and/or Cummins.
  • Strong electronic diagnostics: DiagnosticLink, Cummins INSITE, Allison DOC, laptop-based troubleshooting.
  • Engine, aftertreatment (DPF/SCR), electrical and transmission repair, from diagnosis to road test.
  • Your own professional tool set and a valid driver’s license (CDL-A a plus).

Why Senior Techs Move Here

  • Paid like the senior tech you are: Top-of-scale pay from day one, plus overtime. No starting at the bottom and earning your way back up.
  • The work you’re good at: No-starts, intermittent electrical, aftertreatment and drivability. You’re the diagnostician, not the oil-change bay.
  • Factory training, on us: Detroit, Allison and Cummins OEM training, paid and scheduled in your first quarter.
  • Somewhere to go: A clear path to shop lead and our top technician tier, backed by a regional network of branches across the East.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the toughest diagnostic jobs in the shop on fleet customers’ Detroit, Cummins and Allison-powered trucks.
  • Get it right the first time: diagnose, repair, road test and document it.
  • Be the go-to tech who helps junior techs get unstuck.

Our Hiring Promise

  • A phone call within 48 hours of applying.
  • A shop visit and interview within 5 days.
  • An offer within 48 hours of your interview.

Benefits And Rewards

  • 8 Paid Holidays & 1 Paid Wellness Day
  • Paid Time Off
  • Employee Referral Bonus Program
  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • 401k with a Company Match
  • Company Paid Training
  • Growth & Leadership Opportunities
