Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment is a leading heavy truck and equipment manufacturer, wholesale retailer, and service provider. Our mission is to deliver top-quality equipment and service solutions, allowing our customers to focus on their business rather than their equipment. We are dedicated to fostering a team-oriented, service-driven, and excellence-focused environment. At Mid-Atlantic, we value collaboration and strive to be a dynamic workplace where talented and motivated individuals can thrive and contribute to our customers' success.

Mid-Atlantic is seeking a dependable, hands-on Shop Assistant to play a key role in keeping our service operation running smoothly and safely. This position is essential to maintaining a clean, organized shop and warehouse, supporting technicians and parts staff, assisting with facility upkeep, and ensuring our team has what they need to stay productive.

For someone eager to build a career in the heavy equipment industry, this role offers more than just a job — it’s a starting point. The right individual will gain valuable exposure to shop operations and can grow into a Diesel Technician apprenticeship and long-term career path within our organization.
