STANDOUT QUALIFICATIONS
  • Professional experience working with automotive, vehicle, heavy equipment, military vehicle, or related mechanical systems.
  • Strong knowledge of vehicle systems, components, maintenance, repair, and assembly/disassembly.
  • Comfort working extensively at a computer reviewing detailed technical information and developing written content.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to communicate with internal and external customers.
  • Customer service oriented and quality focused.
  • Ability to work independently or in a team atmosphere.
  • Mechanical and spatial aptitude.
  • Prior experience with engineering repository, technical authoring, or illustration software is a plus.
  • Experience and proficiency with various web-based software applications including Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, etc.
  • Self-starter, flexible, and highly organized with strong analytical skills.
