Automotive Technician

Automotive · Adelaide, SA, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
If European engineering is what you most enjoy working on, this Adelaide workshop will suit you. A growing South Australian garage needs a full-time Automotive Technician who specialises in European vehicles and can take on servicing, diagnostics, repairs and preventative maintenance.
You would use modern scan tools and manufacturer data to track down awkward electrical and mechanical faults, strip and rebuild components, road test the finished job and record it all. The workshop wants someone who can get on with it unsupervised.
Workshop owners skim for brands and tools, so put the marques you know and your favourite scan platforms high on the page of your CV. Set down your European car diagnostics work in Build AI CV and apply.
