What are the responsibilities and job description for the Diesel Mechanic - Bus Motorcoach Fleet position at Starr Bus Charters & Tours?
About Starr
We're a family-owned charter and tour company running a premium fleet of Prevost coaches out of Fairless Hills, PA — about 30 minutes from Center City Philadelphia.
We've been doing this for decades. Most of our team has been here a long time, and that's not by accident. We take care of our coaches, our drivers, and our shop, and we expect the same from the people we hire.
What You’ll Do
Diagnose and repair complex engine, electrical, HVAC, air, brake, and multiplex issues
Use OEM diagnostic software and read wiring diagrams independently
Test safety-critical systems before any coach leaves the shop
Work directly with our Maintenance Director on platform walkthroughs and difficult diagnostics
Help the rest of the shop when a repair has them stuck — coach the fix, don't just take it over
Close out your work orders the same day, complete and accurate
Keep the shop safe — PPE, OSHA standards, and clean damage reporting
What We’re Looking For
1 years on heavy-duty diesel with real diagnostic experience
Motorcoach experience on Prevost, MCI, or Van Hool is a strong plus
Comfortable with OEM diagnostic software and reading schematics independently
Driver's license required; CDL-B with Passenger endorsement preferred, or willingness to get one
Available to take the occasional after-hours road call — we share that load across the team, so it's not all on you.
What We Offer
$36–$42/hr based on platform depth and diagnostic skill
1st shift — daytime hours, year-round work
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid vacation and paid holidays
Tool allowance
Mentorship from one of the most experienced motorcoach techs in the region
Why this job is different
Most shops will hand you a stack of work orders and leave you alone. We're building something deliberate here — a structured career path to Lead Tech, direct mentorship from a senior technical advisor with decades of experience on these platforms, and a team that actually backs each other up.
If you're a strong diesel tech who's tired of being treated like a number, this one's worth a conversation.
Salary : $36 - $42
