Multi-Campus Diesel Trainer
Lincoln Technical Institute
Join Lincoln Tech in partnership with NJ Transit to train their workforce on the systems that keep one of the nationâs largest public transit fleets moving. This role is built for highâlevel diesel and electrical/electronic technicians who understand modern bus powertrains, multiplexed electronics, and advanced diagnostic workflows â and who want to share that expertise with working NJ Transit professionals.
This is not a desk job. Itâs a handsâon, mobile, fleetâintegrated training role working across NJ Transit facilities. If you know heavyâduty diesel, electrical networks, and modern vehicle controls inside and out, your experience will directly shape the next generation of transit technicians.
What You Will Teach
You will deliver NJ Transitâs diesel and electronic systems curriculum, including:
Advanced Diesel Systems
+ Heavyâduty diesel engine diagnostics and repair
+ Aftertreatment systems (DPF, DOC, SCR)
+ Fuel, air, and turbo systems
+ Engineâembedded diagnostics using OEM software
+ Live troubleshooting in real fleet environments
Modern Electronic & Control Systems
+ CAN bus architecture, subâCAN systems, and fault tracing
+ Electronic Control Units (ECUs), TCMs, and VCU logic
+ Multiplexing, logic trees, and module interaction
+ Reading, interpreting, and teaching OEM wiring diagrams
+ Sensor/actuator testing, waveform analysis, and signal integrity
Transmission & Powertrain Diagnostics
+ Full system operation and diagnostics of Allison transmissions
+ TCM communication, prognostics, and fault retrieval
+ Handsâon instruction using diagnostic software and OEM tools
Vehicle Safety & Brake Systems
+ Pneumatic and electronic brake control systems
+ ABS/EBS diagnostics
+ Safety inspections aligned with NJ Transit fleet standards
How You Will Train NJ Transit Technicians
+ Deliver handsâon instruction in classrooms, workshops, and live fleet bays.
+ Teach diagnostic thinking, not checkbox troubleshooting.
+ Work sideâbyâside with NJ Transit technicians on real vehicles, lifts, and electrical systems.
+ Help refine and update training materials based on NJ Transit fleet evolution.
+ Travel across NJT facilities.
Required Expertise
We are seeking techs with 5+ years of real diagnostic and repair experience in:
Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems
+ Engine mechanical and electronic diagnostics
+ Aftertreatment repair and emissions system troubleshooting
+ Diesel propulsion system integration
Electrical / Electronic Systems
+ CAN bus and multiplex network diagnosis
+ Module communication failures and network topology
+ ECU/TCM calibration and fault logic
+ Advanced electrical fault isolation using DVOM, scopes, and breakout boxes
Brake & Powertrain Systems
+ Pneumatic, hydraulic, and electronically controlled braking
+ ZF/Allison diagnostic routines
+ Powertrain performance troubleshooting
Preferred Credentials
+ ASE certifications (TâSeries or LâSeries)
+ OEM diagnostic platform experience
+ Prior mentoring, training, or apprenticeshipârelated experience (not required but valued)
Ideal Candidate Profile
Youâre a senior diesel/electrical technician who:
+ Solves complex electrical and drivability issues, not just PMs
+ Understands how modern vehicle networks communicate
+ Knows ZF/Allison/ECU/TCM interactions from handsâon troubleshooting
+ Enjoys helping less experienced techs learn the âwhy,â not just the âhowâ
+ Wants a role that mixes handsâon work with professional growth
Why This Role Stands Out in the NJ Market
+ Work with advanced transit systems rather than basic fleet repairs
+ Escape flatârate pressure â this is a stable fullâtime training role
+ Influence the skill level of NJâs transit workforce
+ Work alongside one of the regionâs largest and most complex diesel fleets
+ Strong pay, outstanding benefits, and a professional schedule
+ Travel and mileage reimbursement
Benefits
+ Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability
+ 401(k) with Company Match
+ Paid Time Off & Holidays
+ ClimateâControlled Facilities
+ Strong professional development & advancement trajectory
