Diesel Field Service Technician – Henrico County, VA

We’re looking for an experienced Diesel Field Service Technician to support customers throughout Henrico County, VA. 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.

  • Company-provided uniforms
  • Competitive Hourly Pay (No flat rate here!)
  • Vendor-exclusive training

As a Mid-Atlantic Mobile Mechanic, you won't just be fixing equipment; you'll be part of a team transforming the heavy truck industry. We service a diverse product line, including service cranes, roll-offs, street sweepers, dump trucks, and more! From body swaps to replacing hydraulic pumps, your days will be filled with challenges, laughter, and a little grease.

Benefits:

  • Competitive pay based on experience and skill level, ranging from $26–$40 per hour + $3/hour location differential. 
    • Skill level is assessed by the hiring manager during the in-person interview.
  • Excellent Benefits, Including Medical, Dental, Vision, & More
  • Generous Paid Time Off: Accrue two weeks of PTO during your first year
  • 401K with Company Match
  • Employee Referral Program
  • Employee Assistance Program

As a Mobile Heavy Diesel Mechanic, you will:

  • Travel to customer sites to make sure their equipment is well-maintained and safe.
  • Use Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment diagnostic equipment to research and complete repairs.
  • Complete preventative maintenance repairs-like replacing or rotating tires and completing vehicle component lubrication and replacement, some electrical system repairs, and cooling system maintenance on gas and diesel engine vehicles.
  • Maintain paperwork/electronic documentation of work performed (work orders) in a thorough and timely manner.
  • Partner with the service manager to learn new skills using Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment's' technician training and hands-on coaching.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
