Tired of flat rate, warranty clocks, and chasing hours? At Lawrence Companies, you're paid for every hour you work, on a fleet you'll get to know, at a company you'll own a piece of.
We're an employee-owned (ESOP) transportation company running about 225 trucks across flatbed, dry van, and moving operations. We're hiring an experienced senior-level diesel technician to be a go-to diagnostic expert in our shop and to help develop the next generation of techs.

What You'll Do
Lead diagnostics and repairs on our heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and equipment: engines, aftertreatment and emissions, electrical, transmissions, hydraulics, HVAC, brakes, and suspension
Use OEM diagnostic software and scan tools to find and fix complex issues, not just replace parts
Handle major component repairs and the jobs others can't solve
Mentor and train junior technicians as part of building a stronger shop
Keep accurate repair records and work closely with fleet management on uptime
