Diesel Technician - J. Allen Ford

J. Allen Ford – Diesel Technician | $30–$55/hour

Know your way around a Power Stroke? We want to talk to you. Built your diesel skills on another brand? We still want to talk to you.

Whether you’re diagnosing a no-start on a 6.7L Power Stroke, sorting out a DPF or SCR aftertreatment fault, tracking down a high-pressure fuel system issue, or bringing a Super Duty work truck back to life so a customer can get back on the job, diesel is your world. Ford diesel experience gets you a head start here, but strong diesel techs from other makes are welcome too. If you’ve got the skills and the drive, we’ll help you get up to speed on Ford.

We run an honest shop, and we’re building a team of honest, skilled technicians who take pride in doing the job right the first time. Here, top techs aren’t just “the guys in the back.” You’re the backbone of this dealership, and we treat you that way.

Why Techs Choose J. Allen

• $30–$55 per hour, based on your skill. Your pay reflects your experience and certifications. The more you know, the more you earn.
• Your career, your call. We provide paid Ford training and certification opportunities, including diesel-specific training, and we expect you to take the wheel: set your goals, chase your certifications, and push yourself toward Senior Master Diesel and beyond. Techs who own their growth go far here.
• A shop that backs you up. A team that values quality over shortcuts, with a Shop Foreman and Service Advisors who work with you, not against you.
• Real room to grow. Clear paths for advancement, including opportunities to mentor the next generation of techs.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Diagnosing and repairing Ford diesel trucks using factory tools and procedures, including engine, fuel system, turbocharger, and emissions/aftertreatment (DPF, EGR, SCR/DEF) work

• Ford dealership experience and diesel certifications (STST, Senior Master Diesel, etc.) preferred but not required. Experienced diesel techs from other brands are encouraged to apply
• ASE certifications, especially Light Vehicle Diesel (A9), are a plus

• Strong understanding of diesel and automotive systems and the ability to document repairs clearly and accurately
• Valid driver’s license and State Inspection License
• High school diploma or GED, or an equivalent combination of technical training and experience
