Diesel Mechanic (Emergency Vehicle Technician)

Diesel Mechanic / Emergency Vehicle Technician
Fruitport, Michigan (on-site — must be within a reasonable daily commute)

Who this role is for

You're a heavy-duty diesel mechanic who already works on fire apparatus, ambulances, or other emergency vehicles — or you're a strong Class 6–8 / heavy-equipment diesel tech who wants to move into EVT work and will get certified.

You diagnose first, repair right the first time, and take it personally when a truck is down. You can work from prints, schematics, and digital service info. You're comfortable with diesel engines, pumps, hydraulics, air brakes, electrical, and body/chassis work — and you don't need someone standing over you to stay productive.

What you'll do

• Diagnose and repair emergency apparatus and related manufacturing / shop equipment
• Service diesel engines, fire pumps, drivetrains, electrical systems, brakes, and hydraulics
• Repair or replace components as needed; modify apparatus when the work calls for it
• Perform preventive maintenance to keep engines, pumps, and equipment in service
• Complete required annual testing on emergency apparatus
• Read diagrams, blueprints, schematics, and OEM technical manuals
• Use digital service documentation and diagnostic tools to find faults and verify repairs
• Report findings clearly and keep the supervisor in the loop when it matters

What you bring

Required

• Valid driver's license and ability to commute to Fruitport, MI daily
• Hands-on diesel / heavy-duty mechanical experience (2+ years preferred)
• Ability to read technical documents and use diagnostic equipment
• Self-starter who can prioritize work with limited supervision
• Willingness to obtain EVT certification if you don't already have it

Strongly preferred

• EVT certification (Fire Apparatus and/or Ambulance tracks — F1/F3/F4 etc.)
• Michigan Motor Vehicle Mechanic Certificate (or equivalent)
• Experience on fire pumps, aerials, foam systems, emergency lighting/electrical, or similar apparatus
• Heavy-duty diesel background: Cummins, Detroit, Caterpillar, Allison, air brakes, hydraulics

How you work

• You own the work and finish what you start
• You make sound repair decisions and know when to escalate
• You communicate clearly — good work, no surprises

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement program with match
• Paid time off
