Mechanic Diesel

KC Fleet Care
Kansas City, MO, US Full Time
28USD - 32USD per hour

Job Description

Job Description

If you’re a true Lead Master Mechanic - Diesel, you already know the drill: you get handed the worst diagnostic nightmare in the shop, spend three hours chasing a ghost wiring issue, and get paid 0.8 hours on a flat-rate ticket while the shop manager micromanages your afternoon.


We don't operate that way.

We are looking for a Mechanic - Diesel who brings serious brains, autonomy, and shop leadership to our crew. We pay top-tier straight hourly pay because complex troubleshooting takes precision and patience—not shortcuts. You run your bay, mentor the team, deal straight with customers, and go home every weekend with a steady, reliable paycheck.

What You Get (WIIFM):

  • Top-Tier Straight Hourly Pay: based on experience. Your steady income doesn't depend on how fast service advisors book work.
  • Real Work-Life Balance: Consistent Monday through Friday schedule. Enjoy your weekends off.
  • Sign-On & Relocation Package:
  • Up to $1,500 Sign-On Bonus (paid out across your 1st year).
  • Up to $500 Allowance for tool/boot coverage or box relocation assistance.
  • Continuous Paid OEM Training: We fund your ongoing certifications and advanced software training (Cummins, Detroit, CAT, PACCAR).
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health coverage, 10 paid holidays, and 1 week PTO in your first year.
  • Total Shop Autonomy: We give you the space, tools, and respect to diagnose and repair vehicles the right way.

What The Role Demands:

  • Advanced Diagnostics & Complex Repairs: You aren't just a parts replacer. You are the shop’s go-to problem solver for heavy electrical, engine overhauls, hydraulic systems, and drivability issues.
  • Fleet Compliance & Inspections: Ensuring commercial equipment meets strict DOT safety standards and preventive maintenance cycles.
  • Shop Leadership & Mentorship: You lead by example, bring a "can-do" attitude, and actively support junior techs when they run into a wall.
  • Customer Education: You can break down complex mechanical fixes into simple, clear language so fleet managers and owners understand exactly what was done and why.

What You Bring:

  • Experience: Minimum 2+ years in diesel repair, heavy commercial truck maintenance, or mobile fleet service.
  • Mindset: Sharp analytical brains, pride in work quality, and the confidence to operate with high autonomy.
  • Tools: A complete set of personal professional hand and power tools suitable for medium and heavy-duty diesel work.
  • Licensing: Valid Driver’s License with a clean, acceptable driving record. (Class A or B CDL is a big plus, but not required).
