Freelance Diesel Mechanic

Freelance Diesel Mechanic – Flexible Part-Time

$35–$50/hour | Approximately 5–10 hours/month | Evenings/weekends

RollRight Mobile Trash Compaction is looking for an experienced freelance diesel mechanic to help maintain and improve our specialty work truck and maintenance setup.

This is a small, flexible side-work opportunity—not a full-time or regular part-time position. Most work is scheduled preventative maintenance, minor repairs, and equipment improvements completed outside normal truck operating hours.

Equipment

• Freightliner M2 106 diesel chassis
• Specialty hydraulic mobile compaction equipment

Typical Work

• Engine oil and filter changes
• Fluid checks and refills
• Hydraulic fluid changes
• Routine preventative maintenance
• Troubleshooting and minor mechanical repairs
• Installing or repairing miscellaneous equipment and components
• Basic equipment modifications
• Helping organize our garage, tools, parts, and maintenance supplies
• Helping improve our preventative maintenance and shop processes

Requirements

• Professional diesel mechanic experience
• Must have your own tools
• Able to independently perform routine diesel truck maintenance and repairs
• Available for occasional 2–3 hour evening or weekend work
• Reliable and comfortable working independently

Preferred

• Hydraulic system experience
• Experience with vocational or specialty work trucks
• Fabrication, welding, or electrical troubleshooting experience
• Experience with Fleetio or similar fleet maintenance software

Work Location

Work will be performed at our small company garage.

The garage is:

• Enclosed
• Equipped with electricity
• Not heated or air-conditioned
• Not temperature controlled

Schedule

Approximately 5–10 hours per month.

The truck is typically in operation Monday through Friday from approximately 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so maintenance work generally must be performed outside those hours.

Most work can be scheduled in advance and completed in 2–3 hour evening or weekend blocks. Exact timing is flexible, and we can usually work around your primary job or other commitments.

Pay

$35–$50 per hour, depending on experience and capabilities.

This could be a good fit for an experienced diesel mechanic looking for a small amount of well-paid, flexible side work without committing to a regular weekly schedule.

Pay: $35.00 - $50.00 per hour

Expected hours: 1.0 – 5.0 per week

Benefits:

• Flexible schedule
• Professional development assistance

Work Location: In person
