Job Description
Mobile Diesel Technician - Laredo, TX About This Opportunity Transwest Mobile Truck Repair is launching a brand-new service market in Laredo, and this is one of our key first hires in the region. You won't be stepping into an existing structure — you'll help build it. As a founding technician in South Texas, you'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, represent the company directly with customers, and set the standard for service quality and professionalism from day one. Laredo is one of the busiest freight corridors in North America, and the customers here depend on trucks, trailers, and equipment staying in service. We're looking for a technician who can handle both sides of that work — heavy-duty diesel and general equipment repair — and who takes pride in being the person customers ask for by name. This is not a role for someone who needs constant oversight. If you want to be trusted to run a territory the right way, this role was made for you.
