00 per hour About the Role Code 1 Solutions is a premium emergency-vehicle upfitting shop. We build and service municipal fleets, law enforcement, EMS, and fire command vehicles. Unlike dealership or car-audio work, most of what we build runs on our own harnesses and control systems — separate from factory wiring. You'll typically connect to just three factory circuits (ignition, horn, and occasionally lights); everything else is our wire. That means clean, deliberate work on mission-critical vehicles. You don't need lights-and-siren experience — that's exactly what we train. What we can't train is solid automotive electrical instinct. If you can find an ignition source, wire relays and diodes correctly, read a wiring diagram, and know how to chase down an electrical short with a scan tool and a multimeter, you've got the foundation to succeed here. What You'll Do Your day-to-day is building emergency vehicles from the ground up: Install emergency lighting, sirens, and communication systems (we train you on all of it) Run custom wiring and build custom circuitry — clean, labeled, and reliable Work with siren CAN lines and integrated control systems Tear vehicles down and reassemble them (dash, panels, bumpers, trim) Mount equipment, brackets, and consoles properly and securely Handle light fabrication to make parts fit and mount right Perform occasional electrical diagnostics — chasing shorts, checking circuits, verifying installs Deliver finished vehicles that pass agency inspection standards, on deadline What We're Looking For 3-5 years of hands-on automotive electrical experience (fleet, remote start/alarm, diagnostic, or dealership electrical work all count) Proven ability to diagnose electrical shorts and troubleshoot circuits from a wiring diagram Strong proficiency with a scan tool / diagnostic scanner Comfortable with relays, diodes, and 12V wiring fundamentals (CAN training provided) Mechanical aptitude for trim removal, bracket mounting, and light fabrication Detail-oriented, dependable, and able to work independently No lights/sirens or emergency-vehicle experience required — we train the specialized systems Compensation & Benefits $28
