Do you thrive in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment? Does the challenge of complex diesel diagnostics get your engine revving? At J. Allen Automotive, we aren't just looking for a mechanic; we’re looking for a technical leader.

As a Diesel Service Technician, you will be the backbone of our heavy-duty service operations. We need a persistent problem-solver who can mentor rising talent, execute precision repairs, and serve as a technical bridge between our shop and our customers.

The Role: Expert Diagnostics & Leadership

What You’ll Do:

  • Expert Diagnostics: Identify and resolve complex issues across diesel automotive systems with speed and accuracy.

  • Precision Repair: Execute high-quality maintenance and warranty repairs to strict manufacturer specifications.

  • Technical Mentorship: Act as a leader in the shop, helping to guide and mentor junior technicians.

  • Clear Communication: Discuss vehicle health and future needs directly with service advisors and customers to build long-term trust.

  • Quality Assurance: Perform rigorous inspections and test drives to ensure every vehicle meets our "Gold Standard" before it's returned.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Diesel Expertise: Proven experience and technical mastery specifically in diesel systems is required.

  • Certifications: You must hold a valid Driver’s License and a State Inspection License.

  • The Right Mindset: You are a determined problem-solver with a "fix it right the first time" attitude.

  • Professionalism: Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical needs to non-technical customers.

  • Education: High school diploma or GED; or equivalent combination of specialized training and experience.

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a high-performance culture with compensation based on your experience that is competitive with Fortune 500 standards. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

  • Health & Wellness: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, plus Accident and Critical Illness coverage.

  • Financial Security: 401(k) Retirement Plan and Life Insurance (Basic and Additional).

  • Work-Life Balance: Paid Time Off (PTO) to ensure you have time to recharge.

  • Growth: Paid Training to keep you at the forefront of diesel technology and industry advancements.
