Good fit if you like shop-floor diesel work supporting a large foodservice distributor (PFGC) in the Columbus/Grandview Heights area, care about fleet uptime, and prefer hands-on wrenching over office or remote roles.
As a Diesel Mechanic Technician for Performance Food Group’s fleet, a typical day is hands-on on Class 7/8 tractors and reefers that keep food moving: diagnose engines, brakes, electrical, and refrigeration issues; perform PMs and safety inspections; road-test or yard-check units; order parts; and document work so distribution runs stay on schedule. Work is on-site at a depot/shop supporting 24/7 food delivery, not remote.
Prioritize diesel diagnostics (electronic engines), air-brake and DOT inspection skills, hydraulic/electrical troubleshooting, and reefer basics. Strong PM discipline, parts documentation, and shop safety matter as much as wrench time. No specific certification catalog or costs were provided in the job data—verify CDL, ASE, or EPA 608 needs with the employer if required for their fleet.
PFG distributes foodservice products nationwide from many distribution centers; it is among the largest U.S. foodservice distributors (Wikipedia).
