We have an immediate opening for a diesel mechanic who has previous mechanical experience and knowledge of the upkeep and repair of diesel engines. This is a great position for someone looking to start a second career.

While not required, military veterans and retired farmers have a great skill set that is highly adaptable to the trucking industry. If you're looking for a long-term, uninterrupted employment opportunity, see below for three reasons why you should apply at Louisville Switching.

We're Hiring A Diesel Mechanic 

This person will be working alongside our Service Technicians and the one and only Rex Eure, our longtime Service Manager. You can see more about Rex and all of our wonderful employees here.

We have recently seen noteworthy growth in our line of products and services, but that isn't all. Our entire business is growing, which has created this opportunity for someone to join a wonderful company with incredible values. 

We provide training for our technicians through Kalmar Ottawa as well as ASE Certifications for our diesel technicians. This is a great position if you don't like a typical office job as diesel technicians will be in the field at the customer's locations some of the time.

3 Reasons Why You Should Apply  

1. We're growing 

This may seem obvious since this post is all about how we're hiring and growing our team and capabilities, but this has been a trend for the past several years now! As mentioned above, we have seen noteworthy growth in our capabilities, knowledge, and team. 

In August of 2017, we expanded our repair and refurbishing capabilities by converting a storage area into a service garage when we started getting regular requests for repairs, refurbishments, and other service requests. 

When you join our team, you're joining an organization that is not only growing, but thriving.

2. We're not just a job, we're family 

One of our biggest priorities is our focus on fostering life-long relationships with our customers. To do so, we need employees who also feel like they are part of an excellent work family and feel cared for. Our employees are our greatest asset and we believe in a healthy work-life balance. 

Every once in a while we like to make fun videos as can be seen here when our own Chuck Duggins answered 53 questions. To see more videos like it, visit our YouTube page. 

Our president, Don Robinson, likes to have fun too. He could be considered a "foodie" and enjoys taking an evening every once in a while to attend themed dinners at Varanese. Read his latest blog about the Samuel Adams beer dinner he attended last October. We've now started focusing on spotlighting some of Don's favorite restaurants and have had the chance to exclusively interview some local chefs and restaurant owners for our blog. 

3. Louisville Switching is an award-winning company 

We've worked hard to see the tremendous growth that has happened over the past several decades and have awards to prove it. We have had an extensive relationship with Ottawa Trucks since 1973, so we consider ourselves to be Kentuckiana's experts in all things Ottawa Trucks. 

These awards tell us that our work is recognized and is making a difference, locally and nationally. 

We offer competitive pay, health insurance, generous vacation and paid days off, credit union affiliation, and a retirement plan. If you are interested in applying for this position, please email Don Robinson at don@louisvilleswitching.com or by filling out this form.
