A&A Safety Inc.
Amelia, OH

Job Description

Job Description

Salary: $37 - $44/hr

A&A Safety is looking for the technician other technicians call. Not aparts-changer. We need someone who can walk up to a truck with no faultcode, no history, and nobody to ask, and figure it out.

$37-$44/hour plus $3.00/hour shift differential. $6,000 sign-on bonus.
2:00 PM - 10:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Amelia, Ohio.

WHAT YOU'LL EARN

Base rate $37.00 to $44.00 per hour on experience and certifications,plus $3.00 per hour on every hour worked outside first shift - secondshift, Saturdays, Sundays and callouts. Effective $40.00 to $47.00 per
hour on shift.

  • Overtime rate: $60.00 to $70.50/hr. The differential is included.
  • Sign-on bonus: $6,000. Half at 90 days, half at 12 months.
  • On-call stipend: $250/week when you carry the phone, paid whether itrings or not.
  • Callout pay: 4-hour minimum at time and a half. The clock starts whenyou leave your house and stops when you get back. Phone-resolvedwithout leaving home, 1-hour minimum.
  • Tool allowance: $1,500/year, spend it wherever you buy tools.

At a straight 40 hours that's $83,200 to $97,760. With the overtime thisshift typically runs, on-call pay and the sign-on bonus, a realisticfirst year lands between $105,000 and $125,000.

We publish our rates because we'd rather you know up front whether we'reworth a conversation.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

Roughly 350 trucks and trailers and 800 pieces of rolling stock, movingbetween our Amelia, Dayton and Cleveland branches. Any piece in thecompany can end up in your bay.

Trucks: Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, International, Mack. Class 3through Class 8, all major engine platforms, Allison automatics andmanuals.

Specialty equipment: pavement marking trucks, grinders, groovers,waterblasters, raised pavement marker installation trucks, TMA trucks,excavators, skid steers, Dingos, traffic control trailers.You will not spend three years running PMs on the same twelve day cabs,and nobody here is going to tell you a job is above your pay grade.

THE WORK

  • Diagnose driveability, performance and derate faults across all major
    engine platforms, including no-code and intermittent problems
  • Aftertreatment start to finish: DPF service and regeneration faults,doser injectors, SCR and DEF, EGR - resolving derates rather thanresetting them
  • High-pressure common rail fuel diagnostics, turbo and VGT
  • In-frame overhauls and cylinder head R&R. We do this in-house whenspace and workload allow and send it out when they don't.
  • Electrical and network diagnostics down to the wire: J1939 and CAN bus,module communication, ECM parameters
  • PTO-driven hydraulics on the specialty fleet, as deep as it goes. Whenone of those units is down, a crew isn't working.
  • Brake service and DOT-qualified brake work, clutch, driveline,suspension, air systems. Transmission R&R - rebuilds go out.
  • Repair, replace or send out. You make that call and you own it. Samewith warranty capture and root cause on repeat failures.

OVERTIME, WEEKENDS AND ON-CALL

Overtime is real and expected. May through November, expect at least 10hours a week. December through April slows down and many of those weeks are a straight 40.Weekend work is week by week, not standing. We don't schedule blanketSaturdays. Every weekend hour pays the differential.On-call is a published rotation and you'll know your weeks well ahead of time. When it isn't your week, you are genuinely off.

How often: whilewe're rebuilding second shift it runs roughly one week in three, and ourtarget is one in four or better once we're staffed.If a callout runs late, we adjust. Home at 4 AM and you call Marty andwe'll push your start time or scrub the day. You won't have to fight for it.

ABOUT SECOND SHIFT RIGHT NOW

We're rebuilding it, not filling a seat on a settled one. Our seniornight technician moved on this summer and we're hiring more than oneperson for nights. The first few months will be busy. It also means you'dhelp build the shift rather than inherit someone else's arrangement.If you'd rather walk into something already running smoothly, this isn't
that job.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

All specialty tools, diagnostic laptops, and the OEM diagnostic softwareand subscriptions for the platforms we run. You bring hand tools and abox, and the $1,500 allowance helps you build them.Factory training through the manufacturers we run - Cummins, PACCAR andothers - on our dime. ASE test fees reimbursed and a bonus on everycertification you earn.

CDL preferred but not required. Once we know you're a fit, we'll pay forthe training, testing and endorsements.

Four bays, heated, air conditioning going in this year. Uniformsprovided, boots reimbursed at 75% up to $125/year.

You'd report to Marty, our Fleet Supervisor, who's been with A&A 22 yearsand has run the shop for the last three and a half. He came up on thetools. He knows what a bad night looks like and he isn't going to ask youfor something he hasn't done himself.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Substantial experience diagnosing and repairing medium- and heavy-dutydiesel trucks and equipment across multiple engine platforms
  • Able to diagnose independently and build your own test plan. Nohand-holding, no defaulting to parts replacement.
  • Real aftertreatment and high-pressure common rail experience, not justresetting codes
  • Hydraulic diagnosis and repair: pumps, motors, valves, cylinders
  • Comfortable with OEM diagnostic software and network-level electricaldiagnosis
  • Enough commercial brake experience to qualify as an FMCSA brakeinspector, typically a year or more. We handle the documentation.
  • Valid driver's license and insurable driving record. CDL preferred.
  • Willing to work second shift and take part in the on-call rotation
  • Able to pass a drug screen, background check and MVR review
