Job Description

PAPE’ KENWORTH – LAKEWOOD, WA

 

JOURNEYMAN TRUCK TECHNICIAN / MECHANIC – MONDAY- FRIDAY SWING SHIFT:  

Do you love working on equipment and turning wrenches? Are you looking to grow your skills as a mechanic? Are you looking for not just another job, but a career?

Pape’ Kenworth, a premier medium and heavy-duty truck and equipment dealer in the West, is seeking a Journeyman Truck Technician / Mechanic to join our team!

At Pape’, we invest in your growth. From robust training programs to continuous support, we equip our team members with the tools to succeed. In return for your hard work, we offer competitive compensation, exceptional benefits, and a strong work-life balance designed to support you and your family.

Make a difference. Grow your career. Join the Pape’ Team!

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

As our Journeyman Truck Technician / Mechanic, you will work on medium and heavy-duty class 7 & 8 trucks in the shop ensuring repairs are done accurately and timely. All your hard work is geared toward supporting our customers and maximizing their uptime. When a truck is sidelined, you will be a primary member trusted to get it back in service quickly and correctly the first time.

This role demands both technical expertise and the ability to think critically under pressure. You will be responsible for analyzing and diagnosing truck malfunctions or system failures, then determining the best course of action to return the truck to peak performance. That may mean repairing or rebuilding cabs, steering systems, engines, transmissions, axles, differentials, brakes, clutches, electrical systems, or air systems.

Beyond repair work, you will also be expected to maintain and service trucks to ensure reliability, minimize downtime, and extend the life of each vehicle. The role requires not just hands-on mechanical ability but also sound judgment, a strong attention to detail, and the ability to deliver work that meets the highest standards of safety and quality.

Every day, picture your career flourishing as you work alongside other trained Technicians in a shop that has all the support and resources you need to perform top-notch work on heavy trucks. 

This team member will work Monday- Friday, 3:30pm- midnight.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 3 or more years of experience working on all makes and models of medium and heavy-duty class 7/8 trucks, including engine repair, electronic trouble-shooting, HVAC systems, and chassis repair.
  • Kenworth Essentials certifications preferred.
  • Basic computer knowledge. Cummins and MX software experience preferred.
  • Self-motivation and assertiveness.
  • Ability to work under little or no supervision.
  • Excellent communication and customer relations skills.
  • Must provide own tools.

 

Compensation: $36.36-40.90/hr (Depending on Experience)

 

Why work for Pape’:

  • Competitive pay based on your skills, training, and experience level.
  • Outstanding benefits including – 401(k) & Roth 401(k) Retirement Plans with Company Match; Medical, Dental, Vision and Prescription Insurance; Flexible Spending Accounts (Flex Plans); Life Insurance; Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance; Employee Assistance Program; Online and Instructor-Led Training; Tuition Reimbursement for Training Programs.
