🛠️ Keep the Green Fleet Rolling! Join GFL as a Diesel Mechanic!

Location: Brunswick / Bolivia, NC
Position Type: Full-Time, Regular
Schedule: 40 hours/week

About the Role
Every great fleet needs an even better mechanic behind the scenes! At GFL Environmental, our heavy-duty garbage trucks, roll-offs, and hydraulic equipment keep Brunswick County clean—and you’re the expert who keeps them running at peak performance.

If you love turning wrenches, troubleshooting complex hydraulic and electrical systems, and taking pride in keeping high-powered machinery safe on the road, we want you in our Brunswick shop!

 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Fleet Maintenance Expert: Perform routine preventive maintenance, oil changes, brake inspections, and tune-ups on a fleet of modern commercial diesel trucks and heavy equipment.

• Master Troubleshooter: Diagnose and repair diesel engines, hydraulic systems, air brakes, electrical systems, suspensions, and transmission components.

• Preventative Safety: Conduct safety inspections to identify potential mechanical issues before they turn into road delays or safety hazards.

• Shop Operations: Maintain clean, safe work areas, accurately document work orders and parts inventory, and follow lock-out/tag-out and safety protocols.

• Continuous Improvement: Work alongside a skilled team to solve tough mechanical puzzles and keep shop efficiency sky-high.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 1–3+ years of hands-on experience in diesel engine repair, heavy truck maintenance, or mobile heavy equipment repair (vocational training/certifications are a major bonus!).

• Technical Skills: Strong working knowledge of diesel engine diagnostics, hydraulics, pneumatic air brakes, and 12V electrical systems.

• Tools of the Trade: Your own basic set of mechanic hand tools (specialty tools and heavy equipment provided in-shop).

• CDL Advantage: A valid CDL (or willingness to obtain one) is a big plus for test-driving vehicles!

• Problem Solver: Sharp diagnostic skills, attention to detail, and a pride-in-ownership attitude toward fleet safety.

Why Fix Mechanics with GFL?

• Steady, Year-Round Work: Essential industry stability—no seasonal layoffs.

• Competitive Wages & Full Benefits: Great hourly pay, medical, dental, vision, paid leave, and retirement planning.

• Growth & Training: Access to continuous training on modern diesel engine technologies and hydraulic systems.

• Great Shop Culture: A supportive environment where your hard work and technical expertise are truly valued.
