Our facilities pride themselves on being clean and well-equipped, providing technicians with the major shop tools and cutting-edge technology needed to maintain the industry's newest and best-maintained fleet of vehicles.

About the Role

As a Technician at Penske, you will accelerate your career while helping our customers keep their vehicles in shape and on the road. This role is designed for those who are mechanically inclined, have completed vehicle repair training, or are looking to switch gears into a stable career with significant growth opportunities. No two days are the same; you will work on a variety of equipment rather than just one manufacturer, ensuring you gain broad expertise.

You will partner with experienced supervisors and master technicians to learn our vehicle maintenance processes. Your day-to-day involves performing preventative maintenance and minor repairs, including replacing or rotating tires, lubricating components, and handling electrical or cooling system maintenance on gas and diesel engines. You will also use Penske's proprietary tools and technologies to log, research, and complete repairs, including basic vehicle diagnostics. Safety and reliability are our top priorities, and you will work alongside a team that ensures you have the time needed to do the job right.

Why Join Us

We take pride in our culture of learning and growth. Working alongside industry experts, you will receive industry-certified training through Penske's Technician Certification Program, which is certified as a Continuing Automotive Service Education provider. This position offers a competitive starting salary, shift premiums, and excellent benefits, including ample time off. Whether you are looking for your first job out of school or bringing prior experience, we offer the stability and opportunity for advancement you need.

Hiring Process

To join our team, candidates must complete the Penske employment application and submit to a background screening, which includes criminal checks, past employment verification, and education checks. As this is a safety-sensitive position regulated by the Department of Transportation, successful candidates must also:

• Pass a drug screen and physical exam as required by the DOT.
• Maintain a current driver qualification file, including an annual motor vehicle records (MVR) check and a successfully completed DOT Physical.
• Provide Safety Performance History records from prior employers for the last three years.
• CDL holders will undergo a DOT Drug Screening within 30 days of their start date.
