Maintain accountability for assigned tools and equipment
Keep work areas organized and free of hazards

Strong mechanical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to identify mechanical defects and complete repairs safely
Ability to follow detailed repair procedures and safety requirements
Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic
