About The Position

The apprenticeship role is designed as a time-limited contract opportunity, with a maximum duration of three years. This role is 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. You will be a vital part of a team that maintains cars, vans, SUVs, marine apparatus, and trailers. You’ll be mentored by Equipment Mechanic IIs, gaining the high-level skills needed for a long-term career in fleet diagnostics and repair. You’ll work in a fast-paced environment where safety and cleanliness are priorities. You aren't just fixing cars; you're maintaining the infrastructure that serves our community.
