Southeast Market Manager

Diesel Dudes · Charlotte, NC (hybrid) or remote in the Carolinas · Full-time

Diesel Dudes is mobile diesel repair: when a truck breaks down, we send a mechanic to it. We run a network of independent diesel mechanics across the Carolinas and are expanding across the Southeast.

We're hiring a Southeast Market Manager to grow the mechanic network that every job depends on. You'll recruit high-quality mechanics, onboard them, help them succeed on every job, and stand up new markets across the Southeast.

THE BASICS

• Reports to: the company owners

• Location: Charlotte preferred, with an optional office (hybrid). Remote anywhere in the Carolinas also works.

• Travel: not required

• Employment: full-time, W-2

• Time off: standard paid time off

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You own mechanic supply in the Southeast, from first call to a busy, well-reviewed mechanic.

Recruit high-quality mechanics

• Work the recruiting pipeline every day from our mechanic CRM: call new applicants the day they apply, run intro calls, and log every outcome.

• Find mechanics beyond the ads: referrals from our current mechanics, Facebook groups, parts counters, truck stops and diesel shops.

• Hold the bar: real diesel experience, a service truck, tools, and insurance or a clear path to it.

Onboard them

• Move each hire through the background check, contract and insurance so nobody is ever waiting on us.

• Get every new mechanic to a first paid job fast, with dispatch ready to send them work.

Help them succeed

• Project-manage the work: keep customers informed from dispatch to invoice, follow up after jobs, and ask for five-star reviews.

• Work with the dispatch team so each job goes to the right mechanic and problems get solved the same day.

• Check in with every active mechanic on availability, coverage and anything slowing them down.

Stand up new markets

• Choose the next metros with the owners, recruit the first mechanics before marketing turns on, and grow each market to steady weekly volume.

• Build each new market into a reliable bench of mechanics our dispatch team can count on.

COMPENSATION

• On-target earnings: ~$110K ($60K base salary + performance bonus)

• Performance bonus tied to company volume, paid monthly with payroll

• Health: $500 a month toward health insurance, paid through a tax-free health reimbursement plan

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

The goal is steady growth, with enough good mechanics to cover every job.

First 90 days

• Every new applicant hears from us within one business day.

• No mechanic who passed the intro call waits on us for a background check, contract or insurance review.

• Each market you own has enough active mechanics to take every job that comes in.

First year

• Company volume grows every quarter, and the mechanic bench grows with it.

• New Southeast markets are live, each with mechanics in place before marketing starts.

• Mechanics stay busy and stay with us: repeat jobs, strong reviews, few drop-offs.

WHO YOU ARE

• You know diesel trucks or the trades well enough to judge a mechanic's experience, truck and tools on a phone call.

• You have recruited, managed contractors or run field operations, and you follow up without being chased.

• You are on the phone all day and like it: mechanics, customers and dispatch all trust you.

• You keep a pipeline organized in a CRM and calendar, and nothing falls through the cracks.

• You are based in or near Charlotte, or anywhere in the Carolinas and comfortable working remotely.
