Power a community. Build your skills. Work with a fleet unlike any other in the region. At Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), we keep the lights on for more than 850,000 people and our fleet is essential to making that happen. As one of the nation's largest publicly owned electric utilities, OPPD relies on a diverse range of vehicles and equipment to support power generation, construction, emergency response, and daily operations. That's where you come in.
We're looking for a Transportation Mechanic who's ready to work hands-on with a large, technically advanced fleet that includes everything from passenger vehicles to heavy trucks, construction equipment, and specialized rigs equipped with hydraulic and pneumatic lifts.

In this position, you'll perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, troubleshoot complex mechanical and electrical systems, and grow your expertise across a wide range of technologies - including hydraulic and pneumatic tool circuits, gasoline and diesel engines, electric and air brake systems, automatic transmissions, HVAC, computerized automotive systems, and electro-hydraulic controls. You'll also develop skills in welding, fabrication, and diagnostic software as you support the full lifecycle of OPPD's fleet.

Assume more difficult tasks in maintenance and repair of equipment in preparation for entering the Transportation Mechanic Apprenticeship Program.
Complete routine and preventive maintenance inspections and be capable of directing other lower classifications in the performance of these and other minor repair tasks.
Provide Crew Leader feedback on vehicles, equipment and processes for overall improvement of fleet consistency, reliability and quality; as well as needs for general and technical training.
Communicate with customers, mechanics, and crew leaders about the ongoing condition and status of vehicles and equipment.
