Job description

Gibbs Isuzu Trucks of Santa Maria, California is seeking Military Veterans with mechanical experience who are interested in beginning a rewarding career as an Isuzu Service Technician.

This opportunity is part of the Isuzu Veterans Apprenticeship Program (IVAP), a U.S. Department of Labor and GI Bill®-approved Registered Apprenticeship program designed to help qualified Veterans transition into the commercial truck industry. Through IVAP, participants may gain hands-on dealership experience while working toward successful completion of apprenticeship and certification requirements.

IVAP connects qualified applicants with participating Isuzu dealerships seeking skilled technical talent. Qualified applicants receive recruiting support, technical screening, dealership referral assistance, and guidance through the Registered Apprenticeship and GI Bill® benefits process, where eligible.

What You Will Do

As an Isuzu Service Technician Apprentice, you may support dealership service operations by assisting with the inspection, diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of Isuzu commercial vehicles. This may include working alongside dealership service teams, participating in on-the-job learning, and completing program-related apprenticeship requirements.

Ideal candidates may have experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Wheeled vehicle maintenance
• Diesel mechanics
• Heavy equipment maintenance
• Automotive repair
• Aircraft maintenance
• Generator maintenance
• Fleet maintenance
• Military maintenance supervision

Requirements

• Transitioning Service Member or U.S. Military Veteran status
• 3–5 years of military or civilian technician work experience
• Honorable military discharge or Commander’s Statement of Service
• Hands-on experience with diesel, automotive, heavy equipment, aircraft, generator, fleet maintenance, or related mechanical systems
• Ability to provide work references
• Clean driving record, as attested by the applicant
• Ability to complete the IVAP technical assessment
• Ability to pass applicable dealership background, driving record, or drug screening requirements

Preferred qualifications include:

• Diesel engine maintenance or repair experience
• Experience with commercial trucks, fleet vehicles, or heavy equipment
• Familiarity with diagnostic tools, hand tools, and shop equipment
• Experience working with electrical, braking, suspension, HVAC, or driveline systems
• ASE certifications, technical school training, or military maintenance training
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and teamwork skills

Benefits

Isuzu IVAP Apprenticeship Highlights

• Potential full-time employment with a participating Isuzu dealership
• Program designed specifically to support Transitioning Service Members and U.S. Military Veterans
• Participation in a U.S. Department of Labor and GI Bill®-approved Registered Apprenticeship program, where eligible
• Eligible Veterans may apply for and receive GI Bill® benefits during the apprenticeship, where eligible
• Access to tools, equipment, vehicles, and training needed to complete apprenticeship and certification requirements, as provided through the participating dealership and IVAP program structure
• Opportunity to apply military mechanical experience toward a civilian Isuzu Service Technician career
• Recruiting support, technical screening, dealership referral assistance, and apprenticeship process guidance

Hiring decisions, wages, employee benefits, employment offers, and employment conditions are determined by the participating Isuzu dealership.
