POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Strong communication skills (verbal and written).
  • 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.
  • Motivated with a desire for continuous personal and professional development.

EXPERIENCE:

  • Hands-on experience in suspension installation, auto mechanics, and brake system adjustments.
  • 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.
  • Knowledge of Life Line products is advantageous.

EDUCATION:
