Diesel service technicians, are the guys and girls that repair and maintain the diesel engines that keep the nation's power transportation equipment up-and-running. These are the folks that cut their teeth on such equipment as bulldozers, cranes, road graders, farm tractors, and combines.
As a diesel technician, you'll get to use a variety of tools , such as pneumatic wrenches, machine tools, welding and flame-cutting equipment, and jacks to hoist heavy loads. Sound life fun yet?
