When starting out in the mechanized repair field, it does not matter whether it’s Automotive, Medium or Heavy Truck, Construction Equipment, Diesel Marine, and so forth, you’ll need to look for a title that contains the word “Helper”, “Trainee” , “Apprentice”, “Service Worker”, or containing a class number or letter as a suffix. These are entry level jobs, and sometimes will come with training opportunities, or if you’re lucky enough, a Union apprenticeship, if in the Construction or Marine fields. Be sure to read the job description to ensure that you’re not going for a job you’re not ready for yet.

The Small Engine field, sometimes called “Powersports” is an increasingly complex area to be in. This field is requiring specialized training, but an entry level job can be accessed by having basic High School level Vocational or CTE training.

Be aware of the field area you want to come into. Some jobs require possessing a Commercial Drivers License (or the ability to obtain one), and all Mechanic jobs require a basic license. This means being drug free (for a CDL), and having a clean driving record, because you must be insurable by your employer. It’s also worthy to have a bit of professionalism. This means showing up for work, and on time. Your appearance also plays a key role in your reflection of your work, and making an impression on your employer and your customers. These items will carry you far when starting out in your career. It’s also worth considering the other certifications needed to progress in your field, such as factory and other types of training.
