Mobile Diesel Technician
Monday-Friday | 11 AM-7 PM | Take-Home Truck | $100K Earning Potential
Build Your Career at Patriot Fleet Services
Patriot Fleet Services is a leading provider of mobile fleet maintenance and repair throughout New England. We bring the repair shop directly to our customers, maintaining and repairing a wide variety of medium- and heavy-duty equipment in the field.
We're not just building a mobile repair company. We're building technicians.
If you want to earn more, learn more, and build toward becoming a Lead Tech or Supervisor, Patriot gives you the training, opportunity, and compensation structure to do so.
This Job Isn't for Everyone.
We're looking for technicians who take pride in being productive - not mechanics trying to do as little as possible during an eight-hour shift.
You'll work independently from a fully equipped take-home service truck performing scheduled maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs on a wide variety of equipment.
Hourly Security. Performance Upside.
You have the security of hourly pay with the upside of performance pay.
If you produce more hours than you work, we pay you for what you produce.
Work 40 hours and produce 50 billable hours? You get paid for 50. Hours over 40 are paid at the applicable overtime rate.
Our established technicians earn over $100,000 per year.
Be efficient. Produce quality work. Benefit from it.
Become More Than a Mechanic
Some shops limit technicians to one or two makes and keep them focused only on repairs. We don't.
You'll work on a wide variety of medium and heavy-duty equipment while developing skills many technicians never get exposure to - customer communication, service writing, scheduling, coordinating repairs, parts management, and managing your own workload.
Those skills create better technicians today and potential Lead Techs and Supervisors tomorrow.
We Train You to Succeed
Every new technician starts with a structured three-week onboarding program and a dedicated trainer.
Week 1: Software, processes, best practices, and the Patriot way.
Weeks 2-3: Hands-on field training focused on becoming an efficient, organized, successful Mobile Technician.
We don't just hand you the keys and hope you figure it out.
