Eight strategies for recruiting diesel technicians To keep your fleet in the best shape possible, you need to enact effective recruitment strategies to recruit and then retain the most qualified people. Though the industry often feels vulnerable because of the driver shortage, there’s also a shortage that is just as concerning, if not more so. That’s the diesel technician shortage. If your trucks aren’t ready to ride, it won’t matter how many drivers you have. According to industry experts, the United States has roughly 80,000 open diesel technician roles, and the industry will add 28,000 additional openings each year to 2030. That doesn’t sound so dire until you realize this refers to “new” positions—not replacements. Based on an aging demographic of currently working technicians, 163,000 positions must be filled by 2030. Technical schools aren’t seeing the number of students necessary to fill those jobs.

"Under the Hood: Unraveling the Diesel Technician Shortage" The magnitude of the diesel technician shortage in the United States is creating significant challenges for the transportation industry. With an estimated 80,000 job vacancies and an expected additional 28,000 openings each year until 2030, the gap between supply and demand is widening at an alarming rate. Technical colleges and other programs only produce 10,000 technicians annually, a number far too short to address the fleeting workforce. The diesel technician shortage is a pressing challenge for the transportation industry, with thousands of job vacancies and a widening gap between supply and demand. The complexities of modern vehicle subsystems, coupled with the evolving nature of a technician’s job, further exacerbate the issue.

🚧👷🏼The Power of Teamwork: Operator & Dirt Technician in Sync🦺🚧 In our line of work, success isn’t just about the equipment we use; it’s about how well our team works together. The relationship between a machine operator and a dirt technician is a perfect example of teamwork in action. To get the job done right, they need to move in perfect sync—communicating, adapting, and anticipating each other’s next move. It’s this seamless flow that turns a challenging project into a job well done. The operator relies on precision and control, while the dirt technician’s keen eye and hands-on approach guide the way. When these roles come together like clockwork, that’s when we see true progress on the job site. Teamwork isn’t just a skill; it’s the force that drives everything we do at Phillips Skid Steering. We know that when our crew is in sync, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish! #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #MachineOperator #DirtTechnician #ConstructionCrew #PhillipsSkidSteering #CentralTexasProjects #BuildingTexas #HeavyEquipment #ConstructionLife #LandDevelopment #ProjectSuccess #JobsiteSynergy #TexasContractors

You win in the draft. Too often, companies are looking for great service technicians to fill current roles and needs. Unfortunately, the boiler industry doesn't have a surplus of great service technicians ready to come to work. That is where hiring on potential comes in. Companies need to hire as many people as they can who they think "could" be great service technicians and see how it works out. Professional sports teams get it wrong every single year on people's potential, and yet they are willing to continuously draft new people to build a great team in a couple of years. It doesn't happen overnight, and overpaying superstars rarely leads to championships. Not every person a company hires has the potential to be a "A" level service technician. And that is okay. Companies go through seasons of growth, and they may need some role players who fill a specific role but will not be at the company long term. Boilers run 24/7 and there is no offseason for companies to regroup and train talent. But if companies continually have fresh people coming into the organization who are properly supported, they will find in a couple of years the "A" service technicians they were looking for on day one. Not everyone will stick around for those couple of years of development. And that's ok. But don't allow the fear of people leaving the company to keep you from investing in them. #boilers #steam #training

Have you ever wondered what a morning looks like for a technician? Meet Darren, he's a multi-skilled technician in our Responsive Repairs team. Here's what he says about a typical morning at Havebury. "In this role, flexibility is key, as no two jobs are the same, so I must have tools and parts for different repair jobs. My scheduler releases the jobs for the day to me first thing in the morning so I can quickly glance over where I am and what jobs need to be completed. I also take special notice of any specific requests, such as before midday or avoiding the school run times, to ensure I fit my day around these requirements. My days vary; some days, I have a full day of inspections, where a resident has reported an issue, and I go and find out more about the job. If it’s an issue I can fix there and then I will do it. This saves the resident the inconvenience of a follow-up appointment. Before each appointment, I notify the resident that I am on my way. If they don’t answer, I will still head to their home. When I get to a resident’s home, I will look to understand the reported repair fully. I will then explain my planned solution and log the details on our system. In the case of an inspection, if I can perform the repair there and then, I often have what I need in my van, but when I don’t, I will explain this to the residents and let them know the next steps. After I have completed the repair, I will inform the resident what I have done and make sure they are happy, and I will update our system, which will close off the job. If I have used parts from the van, I will make a note to replenish the stock at the next opportunity. I am then off to the next repair or inspection. What I love about my role is its unpredictability and the immense job satisfaction it brings. I am dedicated to assisting residents in their homes, including looking at any other repairs they may have to see if I can help".
