About The Position

Cox Fleet is recruiting candidates for its FleeTec Academy, a paid educational program intended to lead to a full-time position as a Mobile Diesel Mechanic. The program offers technical education in diesel engine fundamentals and truck repair, a set of hand tools and a toolbox, and a pathway to develop into a Diesel Technician. Classroom instruction takes place at the Academy campus, with hands-on training alongside a Lead Technician in the candidate’s market.

The role is focused on helping customers maintain fleet vehicles onsite rather than performing routine emergency roadside repairs.
