Position Summary
Promotive is hiring an Experienced Automotive Diesel Road Technician for a well-established, high-volume shop in Cumberland, RI. This is a unique opportunity to earn $104K+ annually while splitting your time between a fully equipped shop and on-the-road service calls.
If you’re a diesel technician who enjoys variety, thrives in real-world problem solving, and can confidently handle both shop repairs and roadside breakdowns—this role offers the best of both worlds, with strong pay, consistent work, and a supportive team behind you.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform in-shop and roadside diagnostics and repairs on heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and diesel equipment
- Diagnose and repair diesel engines, aftertreatment systems, and emissions components
- Complete preventive maintenance and respond to emergency breakdown calls
- Utilize diagnostic software and scan tools to accurately identify issues
- Document all repairs clearly and accurately using shop systems
- Collaborate with service advisors and team members to ensure efficient workflow
- Maintain professionalism and represent the shop confidently during road service calls
- Rotate through on-call schedule for after-hours and weekend support
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience as a diesel technician (B-Level or higher)
- Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across diesel systems
- Experience with heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and emissions systems
- Road service experience preferred
- Ability to work independently in roadside environments
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
Compensation & Benefits
- $25–$50/hr based on experience
- $104K+ annual earning potential
- Weekly pay
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and sick time
- Paid holidays
- 401(k) with up to 3% company match
- Paid training and OEM/diesel certifications
- Uniforms provided and professionally laundered
Why This Shop Stands Out
- Balanced role: consistent shop work + road service variety
- No roadside tire work — focus on diagnostics and repairs
- 11-bay, fully equipped facility with modern lifts and alignment systems
- Advanced scan tools and up-to-date technology
- Strong, experienced team with a supportive, no-drama culture
- High car count (100–150 vehicles per week) = steady workflow
- Leadership that understands both shop operations and field service
