Xylem is seeking an experienced Lead Diesel Mechanic / Service Center Technician to join our team at the Sanford, FL service center. In this role, you’ll support the inspection, teardown, diagnosis, repair, and rebuilding of Godwin diesel pump systems while working alongside a skilled service team.

What Your Day Will Look Like as a Lead Diesel Mechanic / Service Center Technician:

As a Lead Diesel Mechanic / Service Center Technician, you’ll play an important role in supporting our Sanford Service Center, where customers return defective or damaged Godwin diesel pumps for evaluation, repair, rebuilding, or replacement. This is a primarily shop-based position focused on troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining diesel engines and pump systems.

You’ll work with a variety of diesel-powered pump equipment and will be responsible for diagnosing mechanical issues, performing repairs and rebuilds, and helping ensure equipment is returned to reliable operating condition.

Equipment-specific training will be provided; however, candidates with a strong diesel mechanic background — particularly those with experience working on Caterpillar and John Deere diesel engines — will transition especially well into the role. Familiarity with Godwin pump engines, including 6068, 6090, and 4045 series engines, is strongly preferred.

This position typically follows a Monday–Friday day shift schedule, with occasional weekend support based on business needs.

Lead Diesel Mechanics are expected to provide their own specialty tools.

Benefits for Lead Diesel Mechanics / Service Center Technicians:

• Competitive compensation of $45–$49/hour

• $5,000 sign-on bonus

• Health, Dental, and Vision insurance starting on your first day

• Generous retirement savings program

• Paid time off and company holidays

• Career growth and professional development opportunities

• Wellness, recognition, and employee discount programs

Our Total Rewards Program is designed to support both your professional growth and overall well-being through competitive compensation, strong benefits, and meaningful career opportunities. If you’re an experienced diesel mechanic looking to put your skills to work on specialized pumping equipment, we encourage you to apply.

What We’re Looking for in a Lead Diesel Mechanic / Service Center Technician:

• Strong background in diesel engine repair, troubleshooting, maintenance, and rebuilding

• Eight (8) or more years of diesel mechanic experience preferred

• Experience troubleshooting and repairing Caterpillar and John Deere diesel engines strongly preferred

• Familiarity with Godwin diesel pump engines, including 6068, 6090, and 4045 series, strongly preferred

• Experience performing engine teardowns, repairs, rebuilds, and component replacement

• Ability to diagnose and repair mechanical, diesel, and electrical issues

• Strong understanding of diesel engine systems and repair procedures

• Working knowledge of tools, materials, and repair techniques used on diesel-powered equipment

• Ability to safely operate hand tools, power tools, and lifting equipment

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a service center team

• Ability to communicate effectively with team members

• Commitment to maintaining a safe and organized work environment

• Ability to complete a background check, drug screening, MVR review, and DOT physical

• Valid driver’s license with a good driving record

• Ability to provide your own specialty tools

Position Schedule:

• Monday–Friday, typically 7:00 AM–4:00/5:00 PM

• Occasional weekend work as needed

Job postings may include a broad salary range, with actual compensation determined based on experience, skills, location, and market conditions. The estimated range for this position is $45–$49/hour, plus a $5,000 sign-on bonus.
