Job Description
S.E. Smith & Sons is looking for a skilled and motivated Diesel Mechanic to join our team. If you’re ready to expand your expertise, work on a wide range of equipment, and never get stuck doing the same thing twice — this is the shop for you.

We take pride in solving tough mechanical challenges and supporting each other through every job. From trailers to forklifts, light-duty pickups to heavy-duty trucks, we work on just about everything — except tires and automatic transmissions.

What You’ll Do:
  • Diagnose and repair light, medium, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles.
  • Perform BIT & DOT inspections.
  • Remove and replace parts as needed.
  • Handle trailer repairs, fabrication, and welding (if qualified).
  • Adjust brakes and complete related repairs.
  • Take on additional duties as assigned — no two days are the same.

What You Bring:
  • Experience in diesel repair and diagnostics.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
  • Attention to detail and respect for deadlines.
  • Clear communication with coworkers and management.
  • ASE Certification and Class A license are a plus, but not required.

What We Offer:
  • Paid holidays, vacation, and sick time.
  • Kaiser health benefits.
  • Flexible time-off requests.
  • A supportive team that values growth, grit, and good humor.
