General Description


We invite you to start your career as a Metro Transit Mechanic. Mechanical aptitude is required, but extensive training to work on transit vehicles is provided. We also train you to get your CDL permit and license.

Employees may be eligible for loan forgiveness through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program .

This is transit mechanical work that involves servicing and performing routine, repetitive, and minor preventive maintenance and repair work on diesel, hybrid, and electric motor coaches. Employees initially work under close supervision of a maintenance supervisor in a training capacity for up to six (6) months while they continue to increase mechanical skills and familiarity with Metro Transit equipment and procedures.

All Metro Transit mechanics are hired at entry level but have the ability to move into higher level B and A mechanic positions over time as vacancies occur.
Upon hire, employees are paid $2075.10 biweekly (in CG41, Range 04, Step 3). After successfully completing the six (6) month mechanic training period, employees receive a pay increase to $2243.26 biweekly (to CG41, Range 06, Step 4).

All training is paid.

SCHEDULE/HOURS:
Initial training:
  • Approximately four to five (4 - 5) weeks of CDL training - Monday Through Friday, 6:00 AM -2:00 PM.

After receiving your CDL license, mechanic training will begin and the schedule will be as follows:
  • One (1) week of service lane training: Monday through Friday, on second shift (4:00 PM - 12:30 AM)
  • One (1) week of parking schedule training: Sunday through Thursday, on second shift (11:00 PM - 7:30 AM)

The remainder of training will be either Monday through Friday, first shift, 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, second shift, 4:00 PM - 12:30 AM or a combination of both until training is completed. Training period will be at least six (6) months.

After training, new entry-level mechanics will pick their scheduled shift based on seniority. Employees in this classification will likely need to be available for any shift (first, second, third and weekend) and newest employees will be the last to pick.
