  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Team-oriented, collaborative, and results-driven.
  • Ability to problem-solve and make decisions in a fast-paced environment.

EXPERIENCE:

  • Skilled in using tools like torque wrenches, drills, impacts, and torches.
  • Familiarity with vehicle wiring and schematics.
  • Ability to interpret manuals and perform quality checks to meet safety standards.
