Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA Diesel Technician 25 - 38

Heavy-Duty Diesel Technician (Shop & Road Service Roles) – $25–$38/hr

Location: Plymouth Meeting, PA
Schedule: Monday–Friday (Shop Role) + Rotating On-Call (Road Service Role)
Pay Range: $25–$38/hr (Based on Experience) + On-Call Bonus Opportunities

Position Summary

Promotive is hiring Heavy-Duty Diesel Technicians for a top-performing fleet service provider in Plymouth Meeting, PA. This opportunity includes two distinct roles:

  • In-Shop Diesel Technician (Monday–Friday)
  • Road Service Diesel Technician (Mobile / On-Call Rotation)

Candidates may be considered for one or both roles depending on experience and preference. Whether you enjoy the structure of a well-equipped shop or the freedom of working out of a fully loaded service truck, this team has you covered. If you like variety in your day—and don’t mind the occasional “hero moment” on the side of the highway—this is a great fit.

Key Responsibilities

In-Shop Diesel Technician

  • Diagnose and repair Class 6–8 diesel trucks (all makes/models)
  • Perform DOT inspections and complete documentation
  • Service engines, drivetrains, brakes, suspension, steering, and electrical systems
  • Complete preventative maintenance and routine services
  • Perform DPF/DOC service, APU repairs, and hydraulic system work
  • Assist with welding and fabrication as needed
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized shop environment (yes, even that one corner)

Road Service Diesel Technician (Mobile Role)

  • Perform on-site diagnostics and roadside repairs on trucks and trailers
  • Respond to emergency issues such as air leaks, brake failures, lighting, and fuel system problems
  • Utilize mobile diagnostic tools like Pro-Link and Diesel Laptops
  • Maintain and restock service truck inventory (fluids, filters, parts)
  • Communicate with dispatch and respond to calls across the greater Philadelphia area
  • Participate in a rotating on-call schedule
  • Represent the company professionally in high-pressure roadside situations (coffee helps, but skill matters more)

Qualifications

  • 2–5+ years of experience as a diesel technician or heavy-duty mechanic
  • PA State Inspection License (REQUIRED for BOTH roles)
  • Class A CDL License (REQUIRED)
  • Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities
  • Experience with mobile service (preferred for road role)
  • ASE certifications and/or S7 certification preferred
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Comfortable with on-call rotation (for road service role)
  • Valid driver’s license with clean record
  • Must pass background check and drug screening

Compensation & Benefits

  • Hourly pay: $25–$38/hr depending on experience and certifications
  • On-call bonuses (road service role)
  • 401(k) with 3% employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company-paid $15K life insurance (option to increase)
  • Short-term and long-term disability
  • Paid time off and 6 paid holidays
  • Paid training, ASE certification support, and tuition reimbursement
  • Access to advanced shop and mobile diagnostic equipment
  • Stable, full-time work with career advancement opportunities

Why This Shop Stands Out

  • One of Pennsylvania’s largest full-service heavy-duty fleet providers
  • Offers both structured shop work and fully equipped mobile service trucks
  • GPS-dispatched fleet with state-of-the-art tools and technology
  • Family-owned, team-oriented culture with 30+ years of success
  • Strong leadership, consistent workflow, and growth opportunities
  • Ongoing training through industry partnerships and alliances
  • You’ll never be bored—unless everything runs perfectly (and let’s be honest… it won’t)

Whether you prefer the consistency of the shop or the independence of the road, there’s a place for you here.
