What Your Day Will Look Like as a Senior Diesel Mechanic

As a Senior Diesel Mechanic, you’ll play an important role in supporting our Sanford Service Center, where pumps are returned for evaluation, maintenance, repair, and rebuild work. This position is primarily shop-based and focuses on troubleshooting and repairing diesel engines used in our pump systems.

While equipment-specific training will be provided, candidates with strong diesel engine experience — particularly with Caterpillar and John Deere engines — will transition especially well into the role.

This position typically follows a Monday–Friday day shift schedule, with occasional weekend support based on business needs.

Senior Diesel Mechanics are expected to provide their own specialty tools.
