Location: Romulus, Michigan, United States

Master Heavy Duty Mechanic – Fleet Maintenance

Romulus, MI | Union Position

If you’re a heavy-duty mechanic who likes variety, steady work, and getting paid for every hour you’re there, this is worth a look.

We’re looking for a Michigan Master Heavy Duty Mechanic to join a busy fleet shop working on a wide range of equipment. This is not the same truck every day — you’ll be working on diesel trucks, heavy equipment, emergency vehicles, snow

equipment, and more.

The right person will have strong diesel/heavy-duty experience, be comfortable diagnosing problems, and have the certifications to back up their skills.

What you’ll be working on:

Heavy-duty diesel trucks and equipment
Engines, transmissions, drivetrains, hydraulics, and electrical systems
Brakes, steering, suspension, fuel systems, and diagnostics
Salt trucks, sweepers, emergency vehicles, and other specialty equipment
Preventative maintenance and major repairs
Field service calls when equipment needs help outside the shop
Welding, fabrication, and equipment modifications when needed

This is a true all-around mechanic role — if it has an engine, wheels, hydraulics, or keeps a fleet moving, you’ll be working on it.

Schedule:

Monday – Friday | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Overtime available whenever you want it
OT is not forced, but there is plenty available for mechanics who want to increase their earnings

Pay:

$25.05 – $31.32/hr to start (based on experience and union scale)
Built-in union raises over time

While the hourly rate is structured, the overall package is where this position stands out.

Benefits & Why Mechanics Stay:

This is a long-term union opportunity with a strong total compensation package:

Excellent union benefits package
$0 premium health care
11.5% employer pension/retirement contribution
10 vacation days + 9 personal days
Stable year-round work
Plenty of overtime available

No flat-rate pressure. No worrying about slow weeks. You’re paid for the time you put in.

What we’re looking for:

Michigan Master Heavy Duty Mechanic certification required
5+ years of heavy-duty diesel/truck mechanic experience preferred
Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills
Experience with diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and fleet repair
CDL A preferred (or ability to obtain after hire)
Someone who takes pride in their work and can keep equipment moving

The bottom line:

If you’re tired of chasing hours, dealing with dealership politics, or working somewhere that doesn’t value experienced mechanics — this is a chance to join a stable shop with strong benefits, a pension, and as much overtime as you want to take.

If you’re a certified heavy-duty mechanic who knows how to diagnose and repair equipment, this could be a great long-term fit.
