Responsibilities

Have you ever thought about a career as a Diesel Technician?

Are you tired of working hard at a dead-end J-O-B and no appreciation for your contributions?

Do you want to feel proud of what you do and get on the path to a better and brighter future for you and your family?

Did you take apart and put back together that pickup truck in your driveway? Does your compact have an exhaust pipe that is way too loud and a spoiler with enough down force to keep you driving under the speed limit? (Looks nice though)

Are you working as a lube tech or other position in the maintenance shop, but your company does not provide education or tools?

Then this is the opportunity of a lifetime! Cox Automotive Mobility Fleet Services, a national leader in mobile onsite fleet maintenance, is proud to announce open enrollment into our next FleeTec Academy class

Upon completion of the initial classroom phase, you will be paired up with a Lead Technician in your market for further hands-on training and offered an actual full-time job with us!

Every so often you will be sent back for further classroom study to keep developing your skill set, and upon successful completion of the full multi-year program, you will be able to call yourself a Diesel Technician! Oh, and keep the tools
