Assistant Fleet Mechanic Diesel Technician — Growth Role Chicopee, MA | $18–$22/hour, based on experience | Full-Time
Build a real career in diesel mechanics — starting now. NETC Fleet Services is growing our Chicopee team, and we're looking for someone mechanically sharp and ready to develop into a skilled diesel technician. You'll start with the fundamentals — preventive maintenance, brake work, and core repairs — while we invest real training time to get you diagnosing engine issues and handling heavy maintenance like a seasoned pro.
This is a role built for someone who wants to learn, grow, and take on more as their skills develop.
What You'll Be Doing From Day One
Performing preventive maintenance (PMs) across our light, medium, and heavy-duty fleet vehicles
Diagnosing and replacing brake components, start to finish
Handling core repairs — fluids, filters, belts, hoses, tires, and general upkeep
Working alongside senior technicians on more advanced repairs, learning hands-on as you go
Keeping accurate service and inspection records
Following DOT compliance and shop safety protocols
Keeping your workspace organized and ready to go
What We'll Teach You As You Grow
Full diagnostic procedures on diesel engines and complex fleet systems
Heavy maintenance and major repair work
The hands-on skills and judgment that separate a good tech from a great one
You'll be working directly alongside experienced technicians who know this fleet inside and out and are genuinely invested in bringing you up to speed.
What You Bring
Basic mechanical experience — diesel, automotive, or related trade background
A genuine willingness to learn and take direction from senior techs
A valid driver's license (CDL is a plus, not required)
Physical readiness for shop work, including lifting and standing for extended periods
Reliability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic — we can teach skills, we can't teach showing up
