About this role

Carvana's Fleet Maintenance team in Chandler is hiring a Diesel Technician to keep their Class 8 truck and trailer fleet running safely and reliably. You'll handle preventative maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs on vehicles that are all under manufacturer warranty—meaning your focus stays on routine upkeep and troubleshooting rather than major overhauls or emergency roadside work. The role involves using diagnostic software to identify and fix electrical, engine, and transmission issues, managing aftertreatment systems, and collaborating with teammates to maintain accurate records and minimize downtime.

This position suits someone with at least three years of hands-on experience with heavy-duty Class 8 trucks or comparable equipment. You'll need strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills, comfort with diagnostic software, and ideally some background with aftertreatment systems and electrical work; MIG welding experience is a bonus. Carvana requires a minimum of two ASE certifications within your first six months and will reimburse the cost. A valid driver's license with a clean record and reliable attendance are essential.

The compensation ranges from $24 to $36 per hour with overtime opportunities, plus a $2,000 to $4,000 sign-on bonus. Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401k match, 104 hours of PTO in year one, an annual $500 tool allowance, and $100 boot allowance every six months. Carvana also offers ASE reimbursement, tuition assistance, student loan repayment programs, and internal training for DTNA ARC certification.
