The Opportunity

Our client, a well-established global leader in industrial equipment and technical services, is expanding its field service operations in Connecticut and is seeking an experienced Diesel Field Service Technician to join its growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled diesel technician who enjoys troubleshooting complex equipment, working independently, and developing strong customer relationships.

You'll be responsible for diagnosing, servicing, and repairing diesel-powered equipment at customer locations throughout the Waterbury and New Haven region. Equipment includes industrial compressors, generators, and related mobile equipment.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in diesel engine diagnostics, particularly electronic engine controls, electrical systems, fuel systems, and emissions after-treatment technology.

Experience with diesel engine diagnostics is essential. Previous compressor experience is an asset, but not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and resolve electrical, fuel system, cooling, and emissions-related problems.

• Use OEM diagnostic software, engine fault codes, wiring diagrams, and service manuals to identify equipment failures.

• Perform preventative maintenance, corrective repairs, and emergency breakdown service.

• Troubleshoot electronic engine controls, sensors, and after-treatment systems.

• Communicate technical findings and recommended repairs clearly to customers.

• Identify opportunities for preventative maintenance and additional service work.

• Maintain accurate service records and documentation.

• Work independently while maintaining high standards of safety, workmanship, and customer service.

What We're Looking For

• Ideally 5+ years of hands-on diesel engine diagnostics and repair experience; candidates with less experience and strong technical capabilities will be considered.

• Previous field service experience servicing and repairing diesel-powered equipment.

• Experience with one or more major diesel engine manufacturers, such as Caterpillar, Cummins, John Deere, Perkins, Isuzu, or similar OEMs.

• Strong knowledge of diesel fuel systems, electrical systems, electronic engine controls, and after-treatment technology.

• Experience using OEM diagnostic software and interpreting electronic engine fault codes.

• Ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical and electrical issues.

• Strong communication skills and a customer-service mindset.

• Ability to work independently and manage daily field service responsibilities.

• Valid driver's licence.

Experience servicing diesel generators, construction equipment, mobile power equipment, or compressors would be particularly relevant.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly compensation of $44.27-$55.35 USD, based on experience and qualifications.

• Overtime opportunities, paid at applicable overtime rates.

• Company-provided service truck.

• Company-provided diagnostic software, equipment, and computer.

• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance.

• Paid time off and 401(k) retirement benefits.

• Technical training and ongoing professional development.

• Career advancement opportunities within a large international organization.

• The opportunity to help establish and grow a developing field service territory.
