About The Position

Cox Fleet is hiring a mid-level Light & Medium Duty Technician to perform certified DOT inspections, preventive maintenance inspections, light and follow-up repairs, and mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and electronic diagnostics.

The role requires independent management of the workday, sound judgment in emergency situations, attention to detail, situational awareness, and strong customer service. The technician follows established repair, maintenance, safety, and documentation procedures and is responsible for the quality of completed work.

Possess and provide a set of hand tools necessary to perform the job duties.
