Field Service Diesel Mechanic
Full Job Posting
$32–$42/hr | Take-Home Service Truck | Monday–Friday | No Weekends
We’re adding Mobile Diesel Technicians to our field service team in Chesapeake, VA.
If you’re a Diesel Technician who likes variety, troubleshooting, and working hands-on in the field, this is an opportunity to put your skills to work on a wide range of heavy-duty trucks and equipment. Instead of spending every day in the same shop, you’ll travel to customer sites in a take-home service truck, diagnose the problem, make the repair, and help get their equipment back to work.
You’ll work on everything from service cranes and roll-offs to street sweepers, dump trucks, and other specialized equipment. Some days may mean tracking down an electrical issue; others may involve hydraulic repairs, preventative maintenance, or a more involved component repair. No two service calls are exactly the same.
You’ll have the support of the MATE team behind you, along with manufacturer and vendor training, while having the tools and equipment you need to get the job done in the field.
What We Offer
- $32–$42 per hour based on demonstrated skill level
- Take-home service truck
- No flat-rate pay
- $1,000 Annual Tool Allowance — $250 per quarter
- $200 Annual Boot Allowance
- Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM–3:00 PM
- No weekends
- Company-provided uniforms
- Manufacturer and vendor technical training
Benefits That Work for You
80 hours of PTO in your first year, increasing with your years of service
8 hours of paid Personal Leave each year, in addition to PTO
Paid holidays
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
MATE-funded HRA contribution toward your medical deductible — up to $3,000
401(k) with company match: MATE matches 50% of the first 8% you contribute, for a maximum company match of $3,000 per year
Company-paid $50,000 Basic Life & AD&D Insurance
Company-paid Short-Term Disability
Company-paid Long-Term Disability
Employee Assistance Program and additional support resources for you and your family
