What are the responsibilities and job description for the Diesel Technician/Mechanic position at Tallassee CDJR?
Job Overview
Diesel guys — this one’s for you.
We’re not looking for somebody who just changes oil and hopes for the best on the hard stuff. We need a diesel technician who isn’t intimidated by a Cummins on the lift, knows the difference between a real problem and a code that’s just being dramatic, and takes pride in getting the diagnosis right the first time.
At Tallassee CDJR, Zac and Buffalo run the service department like a team — not a bunch of guys competing over stalls. We’re adding a diesel tech who wants to be part of that, not just punch a clock.
What you get:
- Pay based on what you actually know — not a flat rate that ignores your skill
- A shop that backs you up instead of hanging you out to dry
- Steady, serious work — Ram diesel trucks aren’t going anywhere
- If you know your way around a diesel engine and diagnostics, and you take pride in doing it right, come see us in person. Bring your tools and your attitude. No emails. No applications you’ll never hear back from. Walk in, ask for Zac or Buffalo, let’s talk.
Diesel Technician — Tallassee CDJR
You’ve probably heard about us by now. We’re Zac and Buffalo, and we run the service department at Tallassee CDJR like a team, not a bunch of guys competing for stalls. We’re looking for a diesel technician who knows their way around real problems — not just the easy stuff.
If you can hear a diesel engine and already have a theory before the hood’s even up, keep reading.
What you’ll be doing
- Running full diagnostics with schematics, electrical testing tools, and your own two hands to track down issues in diesel engines, transmissions, hydraulics, air brakes, and suspension systems
- Repairing and maintaining heavy equipment — excavators, cranes, forklifts, tractors, and other industrial machinery — so it keeps running when it matters
- Fabricating parts with welding and hand tools when something needs to be built, not just bolted on
- Handling everyday work too: tires, brakes, shocks and struts, alignments, and general power-tool repairs
- Chasing down complex issues in hydraulics, heavy truck HVAC, and electrical wiring until the problem’s actually solved, not just patched
- Keeping honest, detailed service records of what you repaired, what parts you used, and what you found — because we don’t guess, and we don’t want you to either
- Helping with heavy lifting the right way, with the right equipment, following safety protocols every time
- What we’re looking for
- Real experience as a diesel technician or mechanic — dealership or heavy equipment background is a plus
- Solid mechanical knowledge across diesel engines, transmissions, suspensions, brakes, hydraulics, electrical systems, and diagnostics
- Hands-on time with heavy trucks, farm equipment, industrial machinery, or general automotive repair
- The ability to actually read a schematic and work through a technical manual instead of guessing
- Comfort with hand tools, power tools, welding equipment, and basic fabrication
- Familiarity with heavy equipment operation — excavators, cranes, forklifts, tractors, and the like
- Customer service skills good enough to explain what’s wrong with someone’s truck without making them feel dumb
- The physical ability to lift, bend, and work in whatever conditions the job throws at you, plus a genuine respect for safety standards
We pay for skill, not just a seat. If you’re good at this and take pride in it, we want to talk —
IN PERSON, NOT ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!
