• The abilities to produce quality workmanship and to work in a safe manner  
• A good work ethic and a positive attitude

• The physical abilities to function as a mechanic (kneel, stoop, bend, twist, and lift/move occasionally heavy parts)
• The computer skills to effectively enter & transmit data; to open, read & respond to e-mail.
• A valid drivers' license

Preferred candidates will possess:

• Previous factory/manufacturer training and/or certification 
• Communication skills - the ability to positively interact with, update and partner with your Fleet Service Manager
