Pitkin County diesel technician praises county training and describes equipment duties
Summary
Cole, a Pitkin County diesel technician, told county officials that training classes offered through Pitkin County help staff learn to service a wide range of vehicles and make their work less stressful.
Cole, a diesel technician with Pitkin County Fleet Maintenance, spoke during a county meeting (date not specified) to endorse county training and describe the variety of equipment the fleet repairs.
Cole said the county-provided classes give technicians hands-on learning across many platforms. “We work on lots of different equipment here. We work on everything from off road fire trucks for the airport to snow removal equipment by Oshkosh to Caterpillar heavy equipment, to small motorcycles and EV equipment. It's just very interesting to be able to get in and learn,” he said.
He added that the goal for fleet staff is straightforward: to do quality work for residents while keeping job stress manageable. “We're just here to do a good job to serve the community. It doesn't have to be more stressful than that,” Cole said.
No formal action or vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided. The remarks appear to be a staff comment about training and job duties rather than a proposal or petition requiring board action.
