Job DescriptionStep into a pivotal maintenance role in St. Louis, MO
Picture the start of your shift at our St. Louis facility: you review work orders, pull diagnostics on a school bus with an intermittent electrical fault, then take a quick test drive to validate a driver-reported vibration. Before lunch, you’re assisting a Tech I with a differential rebuild, ensuring all steps are documented and inspected. By day’s end, your bay is spotless, your paperwork is complete, and another safe vehicle is ready to serve students and the community.
