Stability There has never been a more exciting time to work in the transit industry. Community Transit offers training and career growth in an industry that needs strong and skilled leaders. As light rail expands to our region and as our communities continue to grow, the demand for our services — and mechanics to keep them running — will continue to grow. Future investments in more sustainable transportation and green technology will also open up new opportunities for mechanics. Retirement pension Even if you love your job, you’ll probably want to retire from it someday. Community Transit is a Washington State Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) employer, and our exceptional retirement benefits make it easy. A pension is a type of retirement plan that provides monthly income after you retire from your position. Many people consider pensions to be one of the most reliable ways to plan for retirement, as pension funds are not impacted by the stock market or other economic forces. With a career at Community Transit, your future is secure. Quality of work Taking care of our employees is key to keeping things running like a well-oiled machine.

Advanced Technology There’s no crawling under dirty engines in a cold and dingy shop at our facilities. Our mechanics work with the most cutting-edge tools in the transit industry in our spacious, heated, and well-lit shop that includes lifts and the ability to easily steam clean vehicles before service. We invest in your training with two full-time trainers dedicated to providing continuing education to mechanics including original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) training. $5000 Sign-on bonus We've made starting a new career even easier with a sign-on bonus for new mechanics.
