Diesel Engine Mechanic

Heavy Equipment Service

Note: on September 1, 2014, a new apprenticeship training model began to replace the existing Diesel Engine Mechanic training and certification models. Refer to this trade's 'Program Profile' via the Industry Training Authority link in the side bar for specific details.

Diesel-Engine Mechanics install, repair and maintain all diesel internal-combustion engines and components used in transport, construction and marine industries. They may use computerized diagnostic equipment to test, adjust and repair engines and associated components.

Diesel engines are known for their hard work, and because of that are found in hard working vehicles like buses, large trucks, boats, bulldozers, dump trucks, cranes, and even some light duty trucks and cars.
