- European Electrical & Diagnostics: Utilize factory scan tools and advanced electrical diagnostic resources to pinpoint drive-ability, electrical, and network faults on European vehicles.
- Performance Tracking: Monitor daily back-of-house metrics to help individual techs and the overall shop achieve production goals.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Experience: Minimum of 8 years of hands-on automotive technician experience in a professional repair shop or dealership (Non-automotive trades or general mechanical experience will not be considered).
- Skill Level: Proven A-Level Tech / Master-Level diagnostic capabilities with a "fix it right the first time" standard.
- European Specialization: Extensive diagnostic and electrical troubleshooting experience on European makes (Audi, BMW, VW, Mercedes, MINI, Porsche).
- Leadership & Collaboration: Strong communication skills and a proven ability to lead, dispatch, and train others without an ego.
- Technical Skills: Strong understanding of diagnostic software, technical manuals, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) preferred.
- Tools & License: Valid driver’s license and a complete inventory of personal tools appropriate for A-Level service. Must pass a background check and have a clean driving record for insurance compliance. You will also be required to pass a drug-screen with clean results.
