What’s the Job?
Ready to move your career forward? As an experienced Technician at Penske,
you’ll do exactly that. Here, you’ll perform preventative maintenance and

Yes, we know you are experienced, and we will rely on your experience and
leadership. But we’ll also teach you about our vehicle maintenance processes and
the cutting-edge technology we use. And we will make sure you are continuing to

encouraged by the best in the industry. We take pride in how clean our
