Diagnosing complex engine, emissions, transmission, brake, hydraulic, HVAC, electrical, and vehicle-control system problems
Working directly on vehicles in the shop and responding to roadside or emergency repair needs
Road-testing vehicles when necessary to diagnose concerns or verify completed repairs
Assigning repair work based on technician experience, shop priorities, and fleet-service needs

A demonstrated ability to perform advanced repairs personally-not only assign or oversee work
Experience planning and scheduling daily, weekly, and monthly fleet-maintenance activities
A valid driver\'s license and an acceptable driving record
A current Class B CDL with passenger endorsement, or the ability and willingness to obtain the required CDL and endorsement within three months of hire
The ability to meet New York State eligibility requirements to operate a school bus, including being at least 21 years of age
Knowledge of safe shop practices and applicable DOT, OSHA, federal, state, and company requirements
Experience using computerized diagnostic equipment, web-based maintenance systems, and standard computer applications

The ability to provide technical direction, coaching, and constructive feedback to other technicians
The ability to supply and maintain the personal mechanic tools required for the position
The ability to lift at least 50 pounds
The ability to work beneath vehicles and in crouched, kneeling, standing, or prone positions
The ability to work in a maintenance-shop environment and under varying weather conditions
