Lead Fleet Technician / Mechanic – Ambulance & Fleet Maintenance

Vital Medical Transport | Memphis, TN | Full-Time

We're looking for a Lead Fleet Technician who's as comfortable turning a wrench as they are running a shop — someone who can dig into a diagnostic, keep a small team on track, and make sure our fleet is always ready to answer the next call.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll spend most of your day doing the mechanical work yourself — troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining ambulances and support vehicles — while also directing the shop's day-to-day priorities and mentoring other mechanics.

What You'll Do

• Perform hands-on diagnostics, repair, and preventive maintenance on ambulances and fleet vehicles — engines, brakes, transmissions, suspension, electrical, HVAC, and more
• Troubleshoot and coordinate installation of specialty equipment (oxygen/medical air systems, radios, GPS, cameras, mounts)
• Assign and prioritize repair work for the maintenance team and provide technical guidance to mechanics
• Respond to vehicle breakdowns and get vehicles back in service quickly and safely
• Manage relationships with dealers, specialty shops, and outside vendors when work needs to be outsourced
• Keep maintenance records, parts inventory, and shop equipment organized and accurate
• Maintain a clean, safe, well-run shop and lead by example on safety practices
