Advanced Diagnostic Technician
About The Position
DHT is looking for an experienced diagnostic technician with strong technical and leadership skills to join our main shop in Reese, Michigan on first shift. This is not a routine maintenance position. We're looking for an experienced technician who can take on difficult problems across a Class 8 truck — engine, electrical, emissions, ABS, braking and other electronically controlled systems — work through them systematically to determine the root cause, and help provide technical direction when other technicians encounter complex issues. When a truck has a problem that isn't obvious, this is the person we want helping lead the diagnosis and figuring out why.
Requirements
- Strong Class 8 truck diagnostic experience
- Demonstrated leadership skills and the ability to support and mentor other technicians
- Advanced electrical and electronic troubleshooting skills
- Thorough understanding of diesel engine and aftertreatment systems
- Experience with diagnostic platforms such as Detroit DiagnosticLink and Cummins INSITE
- Familiarity with systems and diagnostic platforms from Bendix and WABCO
- Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics and technical service information
- Ability to troubleshoot systematically rather than rely solely on fault codes
- Strong problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
