  • Monitor shop productivity and workflow, helping ensure repairs are completed efficiently and to a high standard
  • Work closely with the Service Manager to identify and address operational challenges that impact shop performance
  • Review repairs and diagnostics to support quality workmanship and consistent repair processes
  • Complete repairs and diagnostics as required while leading by example on the shop floor
