Tired of being on-call for a fleet that never sleeps?
If you’ve been keeping trucks running at a waste company, construction outfit, or delivery fleet — your diagnostic and repair skills are worth a premium shop role with a schedule you can actually plan a life around. Appliance Factory & Mattress Kingdom, the Nation’s Largest Discount Appliance and Mattress Retailer, is hiring a Diesel Mechanic for our corporate fleet operation at our Thornton location, right off I-25 and 84th Avenue.
The shop: Based out of our Thornton warehouse and distribution hub — a working, high-activity environment where the fleet lives, loads, and launches daily. You’re not a number on a massive fleet rotation — you own this operation, with direct access to operations leadership and the autonomy to run your day without someone standing over you.
The path: This role has a real runway. Our shop talent has grown into fleet foreman, operations management, and our appliance technical division. We’re expanding across 29 locations — the people proving themselves here have real options for where they go next, and we promote from within every time.
Why Diesel Mechanics Make the Switch:
Absolutely Zero On-Call: Your nights and weekends belong to you — permanently. No emergency breakdown pages, no rotating weekend coverage, no being the backstop for someone else’s dispatch crisis at 2 AM.
Day Shifts, Monday–Friday: No swing shifts, no nights, no holiday callouts. A schedule you can plan a life around.
Recession-Proof Stability: Appliances never stop selling — which means our trucks never stop running and our mechanic never gets laid off because a contract ended or a fleet got downsized.
A Real Operations Path: Foreman, operations management, and technical leadership are all on the table for the right person — not someday, but as a structured next step for the people who earn it.
On-Site Perks: Company gym and workout facility on-site. Regular food trucks.
Key Responsibilities:
Fleet Diagnosis & Repair: Perform all levels of diagnosis, repair, and maintenance on our corporate delivery and service fleet — keeping vehicles road-ready and on schedule.
Routine Preventive Maintenance: Execute organized PM cycles that prevent downtime before it happens.
Engine & Transmission Work: Engine rebuild and transmission experience strongly preferred — this is a full-service shop role, not light maintenance only.
Welding & Fabrication: Any level of welding or fabrication experience is a plus and valued here.
Shop Ownership: Maintain a clean, organized shop environment and own a wide array of power and hand tools.
What We Are Looking For:
Proven Diesel Experience: Hands-on diagnostic and repair background with diesel engines and commercial vehicles.
A Full-Service Mechanic: Comfortable with engine rebuilds, transmission work, and the full scope of fleet maintenance — not just oil changes and tires.
An Eye on Leadership: You’re not just here to turn wrenches — you want to understand operations, grow your role, and eventually run something. That ambition is exactly what we promote.
Self-Directed Work Ethic: You can prioritize the fleet’s needs and keep things moving without constant supervision.
Reliability: Valid driver’s license, clean record, and the work ethic that keeps a fleet on the road.
Benefits & Perks (Valued at $7,000/Year):
- Paid Vacation & Holidays (minimum 10 days/year) — starts Day One
- Company-Sponsored Medical, Vision & Dental Insurance
- Matching 401(k)
- $25,000 Complimentary Life Insurance Policy
- Employee Discounts — up to 40% off Appliances & Bedding
