Ford Technicians | Up To $50 Hour | Moving Assistance Available

If you’re a Ford technician in Gresham or the greater Portland area, you’ve probably noticed the industry changing.

Higher living costs. More crowded cities. Longer commutes. Less time outside of work. Shops pushing harder while quality of life keeps shrinking.

Ontario Auto Ranch Ford in Fruitland, Idaho is offering experienced Ford technicians an opportunity to earn top-tier compensation while living in a place that still offers balance, space, and opportunity outside the shop.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for technicians with at least 2 years of Ford dealership or structured shop experience who are ready to build a long-term future in a high-performing dealership environment.

Why Technicians Are Making the Move

Compared to the Gresham and Portland metro market, Fruitland offers:

• A substantially lower cost of living
• More affordable homes and property
• Shorter commutes and less daily stress
• Access to wide open spaces and outdoor recreation
• Hunting, fishing, camping, boating, hiking, and motorsports nearby
• A quieter lifestyle without losing access to the essentials

Many technicians discover they can maintain or improve their income while dramatically improving their quality of life.
