Trailer Repair B Technician at Pacific Service Center – Portland, Oregon

We are looking for a hands-on, self-directed technician to support our trailer division. This role splits time between performing on-site DOT inspections and light trailer repairs in the field and performing trailer repair and fabrication work in our shop.

This is not an automotive mechanic job. This is trailer system work: brakes, air lines, suspension parts, wiring, landing gear, and steel structure.

If you’re comfortable working under trailers, solving problems independently, and doing a mix of field and shop work, this is a great fit.

What you’ll do in the field (2-3 days/week):

Perform DOT trailer inspections at customer sites

Adjust brakes and replace brake chambers

Repair air line leaks and fittings

Replace ABS sensors and wiring

Diagnose and repair trailer lighting issues

Perform minor suspension and landing gear repairs

Write clear notes and estimates for larger repairs

What you’ll do in the shop:

Trailer structural repairs (crossmembers, floors, rails)

Suspension and landing gear replacement

Wiring and lighting repairs

Light fabrication and welding

General trailer repair work alongside our trailer team

You might be a good fit if you have experience with:

Trailer repair or fleet trailer maintenance

Welding, fabrication, or equipment repair

Farm, heavy equipment, RV, or field service work

Working independently without constant supervision

You must be comfortable:

Working alone on customer sites

Talking with drivers and customers professionally

Getting dirty and working under equipment

Taking ownership of your work without a service writer

We will train you on DOT inspection procedures, air brakes, and ABS systems if needed.

This is a highly respected role in our shop that requires trust, professionalism, and mechanical common sense.

Compensation based on experience.
