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)

- 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)

- 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)

- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Comfortable with on-call rotation (for road service role)

- 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.
