    Description
    What's the Job?

    Ready to move your career forward? As an experienced Technician at Penske, you'll do exactly that.

    Here, you'll perform preventative maintenance and repairs of all levels on the newest and best maintained fleet of vehicles in the industry.

    Safety and reliability are our top priorities.

    Yes, we know you are experienced, and we will rely on your experience and leadership. But we'll also teach you about our vehicle maintenance processes and the cutting-edge technology we use. And we will make sure you are continuing to get the training you need to advance in your career. You'll be inspired and encouraged by the best in the industry.

    We take pride in how clean our facilities are, and we provide you with all the necessary major shop tools.
