A Day in the Shop

You start your day in a well-organized DEUTZ Power Center, reviewing the work queue with the Service Manager (your direct leader). You plan repair methods, pre-order required parts, and stage your bay for efficiency. As engines roll in—DEUTZ and non-DEUTZ—you diagnose, perform preventative maintenance, and execute routine and complex repairs. You coordinate with Parts Specialists, consult the DEUTZ Service Department when needed, and keep customers updated with clear, respectful communication. Before returning equipment, you verify the cosmetic finish, return all unused parts per DEUTZ guidelines, and close out work orders and time sheets on schedule.
