Position Overview
We are seeking a Lead Diesel Technician to join our Charlotte maintenance team.
This role combines hands-on technical work with shop leadership responsibilities — ideal for an experienced mechanic ready to grow into a Shop Foreman or Maintenance Manager role.

Key Responsibilities
- Perform diagnostics, repairs, and preventive maintenance on diesel coaches, minibuses, and support vehicles.
- Lead and mentor a team of technicians; set daily priorities and ensure productivity.
- Assist in scheduling PM services, work orders, and vendor coordination.
- Monitor repair quality, safety, and compliance with company and DOT standards.
- Support parts tracking, inventory control, and repair documentation.
- Communicate repair status, challenges, and recommendations directly with the Maintenance Director.
- Promote a clean, safe, and efficient shop environment.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience as a diesel technician (motorcoach, heavy-truck, or fleet experience preferred).
- Strong diagnostic and electrical troubleshooting skills.
- Proven ability to lead or coordinate a small team.
- Familiarity with DOT, FMCSA, and preventive maintenance standards.
- CDL B with air brake endorsement (or willingness to obtain).
- Computer literacy for service documentation and diagnostic software.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary ($70K–$80K DOE) with growth potential into a Shop Foreman/Manager role.
- Stable Monday–Friday schedule – no overnight shifts.
- Modern, well-equipped shop with supportive management and long-term career potential.
