Diesel Mechanic Apprentice – Start a Career, Not Just a Job
Looking for a hands-on career with real growth? Join the team that keeps Phoenix fleets on the street.
At KTS Enterprise , we don’t just hire techs - we build them. Our Apprentice Program is a complete training path designed to turn driven, teachable people into top-earning diesel technicians. No experience or tools required; just a strong work ethic, accountability, and pride in quality work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How You Grow (and Earn More)
You’ll work through 77 skill checklists that cover every part of diesel maintenance and repair—from PMs to diagnostics and heavy-line work.
- Starting pay: $18/hr
- Each completed and signed-off checklist = $0.10/hr raise
- Complete all 77 checklists → $25.70/hr
- Full-time annual pay progression:
- Year 1: $37,000+
- Year 2: $50,000–$60,000
- Year 3: $70,000+ potential
Progress is performance-based, not time-based. The faster you master your skills, the faster you advance and your paycheck follows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next Step: Become a Mobile Diesel Technician
Once you complete the Apprentice Program, you’ll advance to a Mobile Diesel Technician role with your own truck and full field responsibility.
That’s where your earning potential really opens up:
- Bonuses are paid on billable hours
- Skilled techs average $35 – $60/hr (hourly + bonuses)
- You control your own income; the more efficient and productive you are, the higher your take-home pay
This isn’t just a job - it’s a trade with a real career ladder and no cap on your earning potential.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What You’ll Do
- Work alongside experienced diesel techs on Class 5–8 trucks and trailers
- Learn clutch, A/C, brake, driveline, and electrical systems
- Progress from shadowing to solo work at your own pace
- Get certified in real-world diesel diagnostics and repair
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What You’ll Get
- Paid training and uniforms
- Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision
- 401(k) retirement plan & paid time off
- Career roadmap and mentorship - not just a job
- A supportive, tight-knit team culture built around our core values:
P.L.A.C.E.D. (Persistent, Loyal, Accountable, Communicative, Ethical, Dependable)
