Mechanic – Fleet & Equipment (Auto Background Welcome)

Romulus, Michigan

Union Position – Teamsters Representation

If you can turn a wrench and know your way around cars, we’ll teach you the rest.

We’re looking for a hands-on mechanic to work on a wide mix of equipment — not just the same old stuff every day. You’ll be working on everything from passenger vehicles to heavy-duty trucks and city equipment.

• Cars & light-duty vehicles
• Diesel trucks & salt trucks
• Street sweepers & fire trucks
• Construction equipment & small engines
• Hydraulics, brakes, steering, electrical, and more

If you’ve got a solid automotive background, that’s the main thing. The rest can be trained.

Union Role – What That Means for You

This is a union position under the Teamsters, which means:

• Structured pay increases
• Strong job protection
• Clearly defined overtime rules
• Consistent, fair working conditions
• Long-term stability

Schedule & OT

• Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
• Tons of overtime available
• OT is optional — but there if you want to make real money

Pay & Benefits (This Is Where It Stands Out)

• $22.35 – $27.94/hour
• ZERO premium health insurance
• 11.5% retirement contribution (you put in 1%)
• 10 vacation days + 9 personal days
• Full benefits package

Let’s be real — the hourly rate isn’t the highest out there.

But the union-backed stability, benefits, pension-style retirement, and overtime more than make up for it.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Diagnose and repair mechanical issues across a wide fleet
• Work on engines (gas & diesel), transmissions, and drivetrains
• Troubleshoot hydraulics, brakes, and electrical systems
• Perform preventative maintenance and inspections
• Install seasonal equipment (plows, sanders, etc.)
• Handle field service calls when needed
• Welding/fabrication work as required
• Complete work orders and track parts/labor

What You Need:

• 2+ years of automotive mechanic experience (this is key)
• State of Michigan Mechanics Certification 
• Experience with diagnostics and repairs
• Ability to work on a variety of equipment
• Valid driver’s license
• Ability to obtain a CDL (within 60 days)

Why This Job?

• Union-backed, steady, year-round work (no layoffs when things slow down)
• Variety — you’re not stuck doing the same repairs every day
• Strong benefits you won’t find in most private shops
• Opportunity to learn heavy equipment and diesel on the job
