About the role

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
Why NETC Fleet Services
We're expanding across multiple locations, and we need technicians who can grow with us. This role has a clear, visible path forward: the more you learn, the more responsibility and opportunity comes your way.
