Description:
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
Requirements:
What You Bring
* At least 4 years of experience as a mechanic, including gas and diesel engines, suspension, steering, and brakes
* Must have EVT or ASE Certifications
* Your own set of basic automotive tools
* A clean driving record
* Comfort working independently, managing multiple jobs at once, and making good calls without someone standing over your shoulder
* Basic computer skills for maintenance records and documentation
Good to Know
* Ability to lift up to 250 lbs with a partner and handle physical work including walking, crawling, and kneeling
* Must pass a post-offer physical, drug screen, and background check;
* This role reports to the Fleet Manager
Why Vital Medical Transport
