About The Position

The apprenticeship role is designed as a time-limited contract opportunity, with a maximum duration of three years. The Fleet Mechanic Apprentice: The Future of Mobility Starts Here. We don’t just fix trucks; we keep our city moving. We are looking for a Fleet Mechanic Apprentice who is ready to bridge the gap between traditional wrench-turning and high-tech diagnostics. If you have a passion for internal combustion, a curiosity for complex networks, and the drive to learn from the best, this is your starting line. Under the guidance of our Fleet Maintenance Supervisor, you’ll tackle everything from light-duty cruisers to heavy-duty fire apparatus, evolving from a "pre-intermediate" tech into a master of the shop.

Requirements

A High School diploma or GED and a baseline comfort level with automotive maintenance.
A valid Driver’s License and the ability to obtain a Forklift certification (we’ll help you get there).
You’re as comfortable with a laptop as you are with a socket wrench. You can read manuals, follow digital diagrams, and track your work in our maintenance software.
You have the "apprentice mindset"—you listen, you ask questions, and you’re constantly looking to improve your skills.

Responsibilities

Decode the Machine: Move beyond basic parts swapping. You’ll troubleshoot electronic engines, HVAC, and hydraulic systems using the latest diagnostic software.
The Bread & Butter: Master the art of preventative maintenance—oil, filters, fluids, and rotations—ensuring our fleet stays reliable and safe.
The Heavy Hitters: Assist our Lead Mechanics with specialized fire apparatus and heavy equipment, getting hands-on experience with the biggest machines in our inventory.
Fabricate & Fix: Utilize welding, pneumatic tools, and specialty equipment to solve unique mechanical puzzles.
Own Your Space: Maintain a workspace that reflects your professional standards—clean, organized, and safe.
