• Maintain accurate repair and maintenance records.
• Communicate vehicle status with Dispatch and Operations.
• Help ensure enough vehicles are ready each day to meet our operating schedule.

Our fleet includes passenger vans, SUVs, and mini-coach buses operating throughout Colorado mountain conditions.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of automotive or fleet maintenance experience preferred.
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with commercial vehicles, Ford Transit vans, SUVs, or fleet operations is a plus.

• Preventable road failures are rare.
• Repairs are completed correctly the first time.
• Maintenance records are complete and accurate.
• Vehicle downtime is minimized.
