High Valley Transit is seeking a Mechanic to join our maintenance team. In this role, you'll help keep our diverse fleet — vans, cutaway buses, and full-size transit buses, both diesel and electric — safe, reliable, and road-ready.  Every bus that leaves the garage in good working order is a promise kept to the riders who depend on us — commuters getting to work, students getting to school, and neighbors getting where they need to go. Your work will make a difference in keeping our community connected.

• Perform routine inspections in compliance with DOT and other applicable safety regulations
• Maintain accurate service records and work orders in the fleet maintenance system
• Complete road calls and emergency repairs as needed
• Order parts and maintain inventory of commonly used components
• Ensure all work is performed in accordance with safety protocols and manufacturer specifications

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; vocational/technical training in automotive or diesel technology preferred
• Valid driver's license required; 
• CDL (Class B) preferred or willingness to obtain;
• Diesel engine experience is a plus but not required — training available for the right candidate;
• Familiarity with electric vehicle systems a plus;
• Working knowledge of brake systems, HVAC, electrical systems, and preventive maintenance procedures;
• Ability to use diagnostic scan tools and standard mechanic's hand/power tools;
• ASE certifications a plus (or willingness to pursue);
