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.

The Full Package
★  Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance★  401(k) with Company Match
★  Life & Disability Coverage★  Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays
★  AFLAC Supplemental Plans★  A team that respects your skill

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
