Truck Service Field Technician

Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment

Diesel Field Service Technician – Chesapeake, VA

We’re looking for an experienced Diesel Field Service Technician to serve customers throughout Hampton Roads, VA, and Northeast North Carolina. This is a great opportunity for a high-level technician who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving problems independently, and wants to be part of a strong team that respects skill, experience, and hard work.

This role is ideal for someone who likes being out in the field, working hands-on, and taking ownership of repairs from start to finish. You’ll be trusted to represent the company well, diagnose issues accurately, and keep equipment running safely and efficiently.

The right person for this role has strong experience working on heavy trucks and equipment and can confidently diagnose and repair complex mechanical and electrical systems. You know your way around diesel engines, troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, hydraulics, and getting equipment back up and running the right way — not just the fastest way.

Because this is a field service position, candidates should be comfortable working outdoors year-round in all types of weather conditions.

We’re looking for someone who’s dependable, self-motivated, and values quality workmanship. In return, you’ll join a team that appreciates experienced technicians, supports each other, and gives you the opportunity to put your skills to work without unnecessary micromanagement.
