Diesel Technician — Up to $5,000 Sign-On Bonus

Grow your career with a team that invests in you.

For a limited time, Cumberland International Trucks is offering a sign-on bonus of up to $5,000 for qualified Diesel Technicians. The full bonus is paid at 90 days and 9 months.

If you’re looking for a place where your work is valued, your growth is supported, and you can build real expertise — this is it.

We also offer $2,000 referral bonuses for referring qualified technicians.

Why This Role Stands Out

Predictable pay & recognition for your work

  • Competitive hourly wage (not flat rate)
  • Monthly efficiency bonuses
  • Yearly boot & tool allowance
  • Certificate reimbursements
  • Overtime paid after 40 hours

A workplace designed for support & growth

  • Paid on-the-job training
  • OEM certifications & education
  • A clear career path with steps toward higher skill levels and leadership
  • Relocation assistance for qualified candidates
  • Paid Birthday Off

A culture built around teamwork & respect

You’ll join a service department where people help each other, communicate clearly, and share knowledge. Your ideas matter, and your contributions make a visible impact.

What You'll Do

You’ll work on a wide range of vehicles and systems, including Class 6, 7, 8 & 9 trucks, school buses, and passenger buses across brands like Cummins, International, IC Bus, Fleetrite, and others.

Daily responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing work orders, assessing vehicle needs & planning repairs
  • Running diagnostic tests & interpreting results
  • Inspecting systems including electrical, suspensions & steering
  • Repairing or replacing transmissions, brakes, engines & related components
  • Performing alignments, oil changes, wheel balancing & brake checks
  • Test-driving repaired vehicles to verify performance
  • Maintaining accurate documentation (the 3 Cs: Complaint, Cause, Correction)
  • Communicating additional needed repairs to the service consultant
  • Keeping workspaces clean, safe, & organized
  • Following OEM procedures & warranty documentation requirements
  • Updating repair advocates, case files, and supervisors through your shift
  • Completing OEM training & ongoing technical education

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problemsolving, takes pride in quality, and thrives in a steady, structured environment.

Qualifications

(These are guidelines — if you meet most, you’re encouraged to apply.)

  • 2+ years’ experience with diesel engines (Cummins, Detroit & CAT a plus)
  • ASE certifications & OEM training a plus (training provided)
  • A roll cart & tools recommended
  • Strong communication & teamwork mindset
  • Valid driver’s license; ability to obtain CDL
  • Ability to pass a background check, MVR, drug screen, and preemployment testing

Employee Benefits

  • 8 Paid Holidays, PTO, Vacation & Paid Birthday Off
  • Medical, Dental & Vision
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • ShortTerm & LongTerm Disability (voluntary), Life & AD\&D
  • Mentorship & internship programs
  • Certification reimbursement
  • Access to Teladoc 24/7/365
  • Free, confidential Employee Assistance Program
