Cumberland, RI, USA Diesel Technician 25 - 50

Diesel Technician – $25-$50/hr – No Weekends

Location: Cumberland, RI
Schedule: Monday-Friday
Pay Range: $25.00-$50.00 per hour
Experience Required: 6+ years with light-, medium-, and heavy-duty diesel

Position Summary

Promotive is hiring a skilled A Level Diesel Technician for a busy, well-equipped shop in Cumberland, RI. This is a full-time, Monday-Friday role (yes, your weekends are actually yours) with strong hourly pay, excellent benefits, and earning potential over $100K+.

If you’re the kind of diesel technician who can diagnose a truck before someone suggests “maybe it’s the fuel filter,” you’ll fit right in. This shop values real technicians — the ones who fix problems correctly the first time and take pride in their work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Diagnose and repair diesel engines on everything from F-250s to semi-trucks

  • Perform advanced troubleshooting on Cummins, Duramax, Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, Powerstroke, and more

  • Complete brake, suspension, and drivetrain repairs (the jobs that actually require skill)

  • Handle preventive maintenance and trailer repairs

  • Diagnose and repair aftertreatment and emissions systems

  • Work efficiently without cutting corners — quality still matters here

  • Collaborate with foremen and teammates to keep jobs moving and customers happy

  • Keep your workspace clean enough that you can actually find your tools

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience as a Diesel Technician

  • Strong background across light-, medium-, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles

  • Proven diagnostic skills (parts changers need not apply)

  • Experience with major diesel platforms: Cummins, Duramax, Detroit, CAT, Powerstroke

  • Ability to work independently and stay productive

  • Must have your own tools (and know where they are… most of the time)

  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record

  • ASE certifications are a plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • $25.00-$50.00 per hour based on experience

  • $100K+ annual earning potential

  • Weekly pay (because waiting two weeks is overrated)

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) with 3% employer match

  • Paid time off

  • Paid manufacturer training and certifications

  • Uniforms provided and laundered — one less thing to worry about

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Monday-Friday schedule — no weekends, no surprises

  • 11 fully equipped bays (no fighting over space)

  • Hunter alignment rack

  • Modern diagnostic tools and equipment

  • Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVI)

  • Strong leadership that actually understands the shop floor

  • Team of experienced techs, support staff, and specialists

  • Steady workflow so you can stay productive and flag hours consistently

  • A team environment where people work hard — and still get along
