What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Service Diesel Diagnostic Technician position at Transwest Mobile Truck & Trailer?
Your morning starts with a work order on your tablet and a fully stocked company take-home vehicle in your driveway. You head to a customer site, connect diagnostic tools to a diesel powerplant, and quickly pinpoint an electrical fault. By midday, you’re checking brake and suspension components on a light-duty diesel, then moving on to a hydraulic issue on heavy equipment. You wrap up by documenting your work and walking the client through what you found—leaving them confident and back in operation. That’s a typical day as our Field Service Diesel Diagnostic Technician.
What You’ll Tackle- Diagnose and repair electrical systems on diesel engines and heavy equipment.
- Perform engine performance and drivability evaluations to ensure optimal operation.
- Service and repair diesel engine systems, including light vehicle diesel platforms.
- Inspect and maintain brake and suspension systems for safety and reliability.
- Conduct detailed inspections of suspension and steering components.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues in hydraulic systems and components.
- Leverage diagnostic equipment and software to identify root causes and implement solutions.
- Restore functionality by repairing mechanical systems and components.
- Keep precise records of services performed and parts used.
- Communicate findings clearly and provide excellent customer service in the field.
- Proven experience as a mobile diesel technician or comparable field role.
- Advanced knowledge of electrical diagnostics and repair.
- Hands-on expertise with engine performance and drivability assessments.
- Familiarity with diesel engine systems, including light vehicle diesel engines.
- Background working with brake, suspension, and steering systems.
- Proficiency troubleshooting hydraulic systems and related components.
- Ability to diagnose and repair mechanical systems and assemblies.
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and high attention to detail.
- Clear, customer-focused communication style.
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
This is a field-based position serving customers across the Las Vegas, NV area. You’ll operate primarily at customer and job sites rather than a single facility and will be based within driving distance of the territory, traveling in a company take-home vehicle.
