•    Perform quality checks and document all repairs following industry and company standards.

•    Collaborate with engineers, service teams, and quality control personnel to address complex transmission concerns.

•    Maintain a clean and organized work environment, ensuring compliance with safety protocols.

Qualifications/Requirements:

•    Experience: 3+ years of mechanical experience. We're looking for people who either come from a mechanic/technician background (automotive mechanic, diesel mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic, etc.) or who have worked in complex mechanical assembly - like hydraulic pumps, engines, or anything where you need to follow blueprints and really understand how mechanical parts work together. Experience with vehicle transmissions, including repair, rebuilds, and diagnostics is preferred but not required (we will provide extensive training).

•    Education: High school diploma or GED required; vocational or technical training in automotive repair preferred.

•    Certifications: ASE Certification in Automatic and Manual Transmissions is a plus.

•    Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of transmission systems, diagnostic tools, and repair techniques.

•    Physical Requirements: Ability to lift heavy components, work in various positions, and operate tools and machinery safely.

•    Other: Must have a valid driver's license and be able to work in a fast-paced environment. We will provide you with tools.
